Do you breed rats and mice that could preen like poodles in a pet show? Have creative juices yearning to be set loose on a 20-ton block of packed snow? Possess a melodious voice best suited to singing the praises of SPAM? Nope? That's okay, with America Bizarro, you can find out all about people who do! It's a weird place, America, and even if you have a hobby or interest that no one you know shares, there's probably a group of people meeting somewhere in America to enjoy it together. Not only that, but someone else's obsession or bizarre display of civic pride is being celebrated right near you. Organized state-by-state, and illustrated with some pretty funny pictures, Nelson Taylor's America Bizarro is an hysterical armchair read which doubles as a practical guide in case you want to: See the Jumping Frog competition immortalized by Mark Twain in Calaveras County, CA Be a delegate at the Dukes of Hazzard Fan Club Convention Munch on Rocky Mountain oysters at Montana's Testicle Festival Get lost in Grandpa John's Amazing Maze in a Nebraska cornfield Tickle, caress, and seduce the ivories in Las Vegas' Liberace "Play-A-Like" Competition Join Polar Bear plungers in the Atlantic in February at the Jersey Shore Win a truck in Texas' famous Hands on a Hardbody contest You never know. You could be the next International Pack Burro Race champion or just enjoy taking in the annual ArtCar Parade in San Francisco. America is what you make it, so make it Bizarro!

Welcome to Arkham Asylum by Sharon Packer, M.D.,Daniel R. Fredrick Pdf

Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a staple of the Batman universe, evolving into a franchise comprised of comic books, graphic novels, video games, films, television series and more. The Arkham franchise, supposedly light-weight entertainment, has tackled weighty issues in contemporary psychiatry. Its plotlines reference clinical and ethical controversies that perplex even the most up-to-date professionals. The 25 essays in this collection explore the significance of Arkham's sinister psychiatrists, murderous mental patients, and unethical geneticists. It invites debates about the criminalization of the mentally ill, mental patients who move from defunct state hospitals into expanding prisons, madness versus badness, sociopathy versus psychosis, the "insanity defense" and more. Invoking literary figures from Lovecraft to Poe to Caligari, the 25 essays in this collection are a broad-ranging and thorough assessment of the franchise and its relationship to contemporary psychiatry.

Targeting the Nation's Youth by Bruce J. Gevirtzman Pdf

Major changes on what we teach kids are taking place: from white privilege, to subliminal racism; from gender studies in the first grade, to the decimation of biological sciences in high school; from the reordering of American history, to the rethinking of American core social, cultural, and political values; from the compulsory study of social justice principles, to the dismissal of free speech, the nuclear family, and American sovereignty—as outdated, outmoded, and out of touch. This book delves into what is being taught in schools today and why.

God Loves You Maybe But Only Just A Few by Robert Latimer Pdf

From time to time, a book appears on the scene that radically challenges and/or refutes contemporary "Consensus Reality Truths" that are intellectually interpreted""truths that are honored and celebrated as reinforcing our current progressive culture and economy. "God Loves You Maybe, But Only Just a Few" is one such book. In this book, Pastor Robert b. Latimer has assembled an impressive menu of "Biblical Truths" that have for centuries been accepted and bent to the needs, the will, and the desires of prevailing-progressive social reality. Andy by doing so, he has also boldly declared the "original biblical truths" as they were originally breathed by the Holy Spirit into Holy Scripture. You may ask, why is this so important at this time in history? The aim and purpose of this book is quite clear. It was written to enable the twenty-first century "chosen, elect, beloved" of God to not be deceived by the confusion and chaos of current contemporary American "Consensus Reality Based Truths." Truths wholly based and interpreted on prevailing "Personal Intellectual Authority" levels . . . as opposed to the direct illumination of the Holy Spirit . . . the "Revealer unto All Truths." Pastor Latimer hopes that by clarifying key "Biblical Truths" as they were originally meant to be, it will successfully prepare contemporary Christians to dress themselves in the same kind of rugged, protective, spiritual armor required for them to stand strong and vigorously oppose the false truths being loudly taunted by many Lay Renewal Theology Groups of the day. This book is not so much confrontational""as it is controversial in nature. The "Biblical Truths" set forth in this book seek to clarify the facts surrounding them as they were originally meant to be engaged and lived by God's "chosen, elect, beloved." These truths cut through the heart of historical, theological, social, and political thinking of the twenty-first century. By doing this, Pastor Latimer hopes that every reader's heart will literally be "cut by the Holy Spirit" unto the real truth of the truths of God's Word""biblical truths as they were originally breathed into Scripture by the Holy Spirit. Biblical truths as they were originally meant to be accepted and engaged.
