Book excerpt: Eight long years of grade school and nuns is about to end in freedom. Graduation! But only if Mimi Maloney and her classmates Patrick and Tony can outsmart investigators who suspect, and rightly so, they're guilty of the worst crime ever in parish history. Mimi Maloney, an average student who never gets in trouble, shows her genius in love and crime in this tale of Catholic school kids enduring the last two weeks of eighth grade. Police and church investigators conspire to learn who put the stolen snow globe paperweight in the hand of Mary on the church roof, and suspicion falls on Mimi's classmates, Patrick Cantwell and his best friend Tony. A comic panorama of parish life in the 1970s, when lying to get out of trouble was considered a sacred art form, because, after all, wasn't President Nixon lying too? In this suspenseful, laugh-filled sequel to Never Hug a Nun and Try to Kiss a Girl, award-winning author Kevin Killeen gives us a caper plot of flawed heroes and lovable villains that packs the comic blast of that old hand grenade dad brought home from the war and that illustrates childish daydreams all too often have adult, real-life consequences.

Download or read book A Nation of Sheep written by Andrew P. Napolitano and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2009-06-21 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation. Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms? Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks: Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution? Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms? What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech? Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them? Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it? Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Description and Instructions for the Use of Rifle and Hand Grenades May 18, 1911 The rifle grenade adopted by the Ordnance Department is that known as the Babbitt rifle grenade, and is illustrated in Plate I of this pamphlet. The rifle grenade is intended to be fired from a service magazine rifle, model of 1903, by use of a specially loaded blank cartridge. The hand grenade has been developed simultaneously with the rifle grenade and the type adopted by the department is illustrated in Plate II of this pamphlet. This grenade is thrown by hand in much the same manner as a stone is thrown from a sling. These grenades are high explosive missiles and should be used at short ranges from behind cover. Rifle and hand grenades are packed in boxes containing 32 each. The Action Of The Rifle Grenade. The construction of the rifle grenade and the nomenclature of its component parts are indicated in Plate I. The grenade is designed to be fired at a constant angle of elevation, namely 45, except as noted below for ranges under 50 yards. The range attained is dependent upon the length of the stem inserted in the bore of the rifle. Tests have shown that within considerable limits the range is but little affected by small changes in the angle of elevation, near 45, while a change in the length of inserted stem gives an appreciable change in the range.

Because he has the help of a mysterious alchemist, the masked priests of the goddess of Love, and a zombie necromancer.

Download or read book Entering Fire written by Rikki Ducornet and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This startling and brilliantly comic novel tells the stories of two men: a father and his estranged son. Lamprias de Bergerac is a gentle mystic and amateur botanist who spends his middle-aged years in an erotic utopia deep in the Amazonian jungle, collecting specimens of rare orchids and ultimately finding Cucla, the young and free-spirited native woman who has become the love of his life. Meanwhile, his demented son Septimus is raised by his mother in prewar Europe, seething with hatred of the father who abandoned him. He rises to power in Nazi-occupied France, where he goes mad in an obsessive pursuit of racial purity. Rikki Ducornet has a gift for combining the horrific with the hilarious, the realistic with the fantastic. Through a wildly inventive narrative, Entering Fire scrutinizes the sources of fascist mentality in nations and, potentially, in all humans. "Linguistically explosive and socially relevant, [her] works are solid evidence that Rikki Ducornet is one of the most interesting writers around ... We are living in an age of intellectual and emotional starvation that is largely without spirituality, cynical about social change and disconnected from the natural world. We need writers to look at these difficult issues in a sophisticated manner. Ducornet has done this. She is the mirror of our innermost selves. And she gives us back to ourselves—despairing , hopeful, active, contemplative, fractured but surviving, playful, even happy sometimes, and always whole ... Ducornet's villains have the best lines ... one only has to think of Hitler or PolPot or any of our assorted tyrants to know that Ducornet's figures are ... taken from life."—The Nation "Entering Fire displays a cheerfully gruesome audacity and an imagination both lively and bizarre."—The New York Times "Entering Fire is about the metaphoric and potentially evil properties of language; it is about origins and motives of myth-making. This is a novel of ideas (often strange ideas) that is sustained throughout by brilliant writing."—London Sunday Times "Far from being an escapist fantasy, Entering Fire takes on some of the biggest issues of the 20th century … For sheer power, inventiveness and verbal density, [it] is the best read I've come across for a long time."—The Observer "A drastically beautiful comic writer who stitches sentences together as if Proust had gone into partnership with Lenny Bruce."—City Limits " … imaginative and unbridled fantasy."—Le Monde " … an imagination and a style as captivating as it is devastating."—Lire "Unlike anything you've ever read before."—L'Express Rikki Ducornet has a gift for combining the horrific with the hilarious, the realistic with the fantastic. Through a wildly inventive narrative, Entering Fire scrutinizes the sources of fascist mentality in nations and, potentially, in all humans.
