Download or read book We Told You So written by Tom Spurgeon and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1976, a fledgling magazine held forth the the idea that comics could be art. In 2016, comics intended for an adult readership are reviewed favorably in the New York Times, enjoy panels devoted to them at Book Expo America, and sell in bookstores comparable to prose efforts of similar weight and intent. We Told You So: Comics as Art is an oral history about Fantagraphics Books’ key role in helping build and shape an art movement around a discredited, ignored and fading expression of Americana. It includes appearances by Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, and more.
Download or read book See I Told You So written by Rush Limbaugh and published by Threshold Editions. This book was released on 2021-06-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rush Limbaugh, America’s #1 radio talk show host and #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a collection of the political and social observations conservatives have come to love and liberals love to hate. Limbaugh, a consummate entertainer and provocative political commentator, who delighted in being called “The Most Dangerous Man in America,” led the charge to embrace and defend the fundamental values that have shaped the American character—the same values that cause liberals to have conniptions. The Democrats may be in the White House—but even they can't ruin this country in only four years, proclaims Rush. Conservatism’s most outspoken champion and ever the optimist, Rush viewed the “pernicious liberal movement” as a philosophy whose inevitable demise will lead us back to the values that made America great. A must for the politically incorrect, See, I Told You So captures Rush at his best—showing once again why his syndicated radio show reached millions of devoted listeners each week.
Download or read book If I Told You So written by Timothy Woodward and published by Kensington Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The summer you turn sixteen is supposed to be unforgettable. It's the stuff of John Hughes movies and classic songs, of heart-stopping kisses and sudden revelations. But life isn't always like the movies. . . For Sean Jackson, sixteen is off to an inauspicious start. His options: take a landscaping job in Georgia with his father, or stay in his small New Hampshire hometown, where the only place hiring is the local ice cream shop. Donning a pink t-shirt to scoop sundaes for tourists and seniors promises to be a colder, stickier version of hell. Still, he opts to stay home. On his first day at work, Sean meets Becky, a wickedly funny New York transplant. The store manager, Jay, is eighteen, effortlessly cool, and according to Becky, "likes" Sean the way Sean's starting to like him. But before he can clear a path to the world that's waiting, Sean will have to deal with his overprotective mother, his sweet, popular girlfriend, Lisa, his absentee father, and all his own uncertainties and budding confusions. Tender and achingly funny, this coming-of-age story will resonate with anyone who is--or has ever been--a teenager, when the only thing you can count on is how little you really know, and the next glance, or touch, or breathless night can be the one that changes everything. . . "Woodward writes from the heart--a genuine, honest story about the joys and pains of first love, and realizing that no one is as alone as it sometimes seems." –Robin Reardon "A touching story about navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of first love."--J.H. Trumble Timothy Woodward grew up in a small town in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where Saturday evening trips to the local ice cream shop were a town ritual. Later he moved to the city where he was a high school teacher and an advocate for GLBT youth with Greater Boston PFLAG, and where ice cream shops have been replaced by frozen yogurt stores. But Timothy still goes back to his hometown for their ice cream. His favorite flavor is, of course, Purple Cow.

With her father recently moved to a care facility, Beth Walsh volunteers to clear out the family home and is surprised to discover the door to her childhood playroom padlocked. She’s even more shocked at what’s behind it—a hoarder’s mess of her father’s paintings, mounds of discarded papers and miscellaneous junk in the otherwise fastidiously tidy house. As she picks through the clutter, she finds a loose journal entry in what appears to be her late mother’s handwriting. Beth and her siblings grew up believing their mother died in a car accident when they were little more than toddlers, but this note suggests something much darker. Beth soon pieces together a disturbing portrait of a woman suffering from postpartum depression and a husband who bears little resemblance to the loving father Beth and her siblings know. With a newborn of her own and struggling with motherhood, Beth finds there may be more tying her and her mother together than she ever suspected.

For years, Nick has fought his feelings for a certain bad girl, despite her reputation. His friends warn him against her—she’s caused enough turmoil in their lives to last a lifetime. Still, there’s something about Bethany that draws Nick in, and when life throws him a few curveballs, Bethany is only the beginning.

Download or read book I Told You So written by Althea Lewis-Banks and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I decided to publish this book because this election cycle was nothing any of us had ever witnessed before. It was a circuspure madness. So I made notes. I was in constant shock, saying to my poor husband, Roy, Can you believe this? After a while, I knew he was tuning me out. LOL. I am what many people would describe as a political junkie. I pay attention. I follow the campaigns. I was a beast. I listened and watched as they tricked the uninformed and convinced them to vote against their own interest. This time, it was the absolute worst. The lies were coming fast and furious. We were inundated and totally on overdrive. The media got caught up in the lies, and it was obvious they wanted to create confusion and chaos, especially when it came to Hillary. I would say they were complicit in the worst election we have ever seen. Everyone thought Hillary would win. The entire political world, including the press, had given the election to Hillary. She couldnt lose, they said. She needed to win just one of the toss-up states, and she would be madam president. We were so excited, but Comey had other ideas. He found some damn e-mails from Anthony Weiner, and all hell broke loose. The media was orgasmic. They wanted a real race. Elections have become all about making millions of dollars, and Hillarys e-mails generated a lot of interest, especially if Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner was involved. The media spent nine days with around the clock reporting on these e-mails, while Trump was getting billions of dollars worth of free airtime to spread untruths. Fox News found the smoking gun, they thought, and Hillary was once again attacked for being unscrupulous and unworthy of the office. Something was fishy with Comey. Why would he release the letter to say he found more e-mail and not give any further details? Poor Hillary. Two days before the election, Comey sent another letter, this time, saying Never mind. People were angry at Hillary for having the server. Some decided to stay home, and others decided to vote for someone else. Trump won the presidency because of a few different factors. Comeys letters just before the election played quite a significant role, and now, since Trumps win, we learned about Russias involvement. Poor Hillary never had a chance. It was over. The men took her down, and women stabbed her in her back and never helped her! Ugh!
Download or read book I Told You So Gore Vidal Talks Politics written by Gore Vidal and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I exist to say, ‘No, that isn't the way it is,' or ‘What you believe to be true is not true for the following reasons.' I am a master of the obvious. I mean, if there's a hole in the road, I will, viciously, outrageously, say there's a hole in the road and if you don't fill it in you'll break the axle of your car. One is not loved for being helpful." Gore Vidal, one of America's foremost essayists, screenwriters, and novelists, died July 31, 2012. He was, in addition, a terrific conversationalist. Dick Cavett once described him as "the best talker since Oscar Wilde." And Vidal was never more eloquent, or caustic, than when let loose on his favorite topic, the history and politics of the United States. This book is made up from four interviews conducted with his long–time interlocutor, the writer and radio host Jon Wiener, in which Vidal grapples with matters evidently close to his heart: the history of the American Empire, the rise of the National Security State, and his own life in politics, both as a commentator and candidate. The interviews cover a twenty–year span, from 1988 to 2008, when Vidal was at the height of his powers. His extraordinary facility for developing an argument, tracing connections between past and present, and drawing on an encyclopedic knowledge of America's place in the world, are all on full display. And, of course, it being Gore Vidal, an ample sprinkling of gloriously acerbic one–liners is also provided.
