A modern retelling of Alice in Wonderland with a satirical slant. A trip down the rabbit hole sends Karen on a quest to speak to the manager, but everyone she meets along the way, from the Caterpillar to the Cat and some Mad Tea Partiers, just makes her furiouser and furiouser.

Talk to the Hair offers a satiric first-100-day-by-day account of 
President Donald Trump making good on his campaign promise to 
"Make America Totally Classy Again!" From Inaugural Ball-related injuries to finding that good fences don't make for such good neighbors after all, 
the new president lets the chips fall where they may-ideally into one of 
his own casinos. And, when the going gets tough, The Donald turns to 
the diplomacy of Sarah Palin and the muscle of some guys named Vinny. 
However it turns out, it's gonna be YOOGE!

What to do about our do-nothing Congress? Sure, we've tried voting them out. We've tried indicting them. Nothing works -- them especially. Open mockery at least seems to get their attention, so maybe this collection of satirically motivational rhymes will prompt them to start doing what they campaigned so hard to get -- their jobs. Even if this book doesn't inspire Congress into action any more effectively than "Go the F**k to Sleep" got wide-awake children into slumberland, it will provide us frustrated citizens, like those bleary-eyed parents, a few laughs and make us feel just a little better about the whole mess. L.K. Peterson is the author of "Fairly Grim Tales: Bedtime Stories for the Rich and/or Famous" and proprietor of the website Ant Farmer's Almanac. Tom Hachtman's cartoons have appeared in Mad, Playboy, and the New Yorker. He's the creator of the comic strip "Gertrude's Follies".

This hilarious makeover of the Mayan calendar sends up end-of-the-world predictions and apocalyptic jitters, while serving as a fully-functional datebook planner. Lavishly illustrated and chock-full of dubious historical notes, this book reinterprets ancient glyphs and gaffes in light of our modern world to illustrate just how prescient the Mayans might have been. Along the way it lampoons doomsayers from Nostradamus to Harold Camping and offers tips galore on how to survive until December 21, 2012...and beyond? It's the final word on the end of everything and the last datebook you'll ever need. This is the deluxe, full-color edition.
