This amusing book examines the famous events and figures of American history through the cracked yet increasingly popular lens of "political correctness." From the voyage of Columbus to the taming of the Wild West, accounts of the American past are shrewdly recast according to trendy notions regarding gender issues, the environment, and other current concerns.

From the author of The Politically Correct Guide to American History comes a hilarious retelling of the most familiar Bible stories according to core notions of political correctness.

The Politically Correct Guide to the Bible is a hilariously fresh take on an old testament. In this laugh-out-loud celebration of the Good Book, the most familiar Bible stories are recast according to the strict notions of political correctness. Noah builds an ark because of floods triggered by global warming. In league with their helpful serpent companion, Adam and Eve stage a righteous revolt against their patriarchal oppressor. After a consciousness-raising journey with a whale, Jonah founds Greenpeace. Jesus faces a medical malpractice suit for performing miracles without a license. And in "The Ten Recommendations," Moses and a team of advisers craft ten nonbinding suggestions for attaining an enhanced feeling of well-being. In this alternate biblical universe, David and Goliath bond on the battlefield, Cain and Abel come to terms with their sibling rivalry, and the apostles struggle with diversity. From Samson to St. Peter, from Eden to Sodom and Gomorrah, no proverb, psalm, or parable is spared.

The Founding Fathers were cross-dressers. Paula Bunyan was a lumberjane. To Benedict Arnold, treason was just another lifestyle choice. This is not the American past you may remember from social studies class. In The Politically Correct Guide to American History, U.S. history is rewritten according to the core curriculum of political correctness: frivolous lawsuits, animal rights activism, racial quotas, and in-your-face feminism. This wide-ranging tour de farce is a satirical stew of such varying topical material as tabloid journalism, gun control, and Britain's royal family. Nothing in American history is safe from revision: Theodore Roosevelt founds the Rough Riders to surmount a midlife crisis, the gang of outlaws at the O.K. Corral is recast as a freedom-loving private militia, and the Louisiana Purchase almost never happens because President Thomas Jefferson faces a sexual harassment suit from Sally Hemings. The Politically Correct Guide to American History gives a suspiciously contemporary spin to the past--as it might be taught in future classrooms!

Ever wonder what the Founding Fathers would think of America today? Now you know. In this humor book by a former writer for Jay Leno, a biotech firm brings Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Abigail Adams back to life in contemporary Washington, D.C. These Founders of the USA get into comic adventures with mad scientists, the TSA, befuddled congressmen, the Declaration of Independence, war games, a glad-handing president, crooked lobbyists, terrorists, two characters named Fannie & Freddie, and a record-breaking storm. The sometimes foundering, ever resolute Founders even take part in an epic sports race, visit the White House and the Capitol, and watch a horror movie about Ben Franklin, Werewolf Slayer.

The Two-Term Jinx!: Why Most Second-Term Presidents Stumble, and How Some Succeed, Volume 1, is a popular account of the wild presidencies of the two-term Chief Executives, from George Washington to Theodore Roosevelt. It details how most two termers have had unsuccessful or unlucky second terms. Lincoln and McKinley were both assassinated early in their second terms. George Washington was afflicted by ill health, by pirates, and by Alexander Hamilton’s departure. James Madison fled to Virginia as British invaders burned his capital down. After the success of his first-term Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson imposed an ill-fated trade embargo in his second, while his former Vice-President Aaron Burr committed treason. Grover Cleveland was afflicted by cancer, and saw the economy collapse. In filling out Lincoln’s second term, Andrew Johnson was impeached. This intriguing book supplies many examples that the so-called second-term curse is not legend at all, but real. As well as instances of some Presidents, such as Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, and James Monroe, who managed to beat the second-term fall. It provides insights into how second-term woes can be avoided which can prove useful to any executive, or office worker or student, in any field or career. The book outlines the rivals and colleagues, and political viewpoints, of these famous figures. And the astonishing events and issues—the nation’s founding, the naval wars with France and Britain, the Aaron Burr conspiracy, the War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, slavery, the role of federal banks and tariffs, the Civil War, Reconstruction, industrialization and the rise of unions and corporations, financial panics and recessions, the Spanish-American War, the Panama Canal, and more—with which they grappled. Volume 2 of The Two-Term Jinx!, also due out in 2016, will look at the two-term Presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. This work, although based on rigorous scholarship, is aimed more at a popular audience than an academic one. It tells the story of two-term presidents in a straight-forward, journalistic way. Its main market is the educated lay reader, with a particular interest in history and politics. Moreover, its many specific niche markets include students and teachers in the social sciences, U.S. and presidential politics, the school textbook market, and historians and journalists. Another target audience is readers of how-to business books, with this work providing lessons in successful and unsuccessful executive management at the highest level.
