  Laugh with political humorist Gerald Gardner, as he takes an entertaining and probing look at how six American Presidents over three decades— John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan— deliberately and effectively employed humor to achieve their political goals. In a special live recording of his best-selling book, Gardner sounds remarkably like JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, as he demonstrates how our Chief Executives have made strategic use of humor to win people over, to avoid sensitive issues, to defuse tense situations, and to deflect criticism. From the elegant wit of Kennedy to the genial joking of Reagan, you'll hear an insider's insights about the increasingly influential role humor plays in the political arena.

  "before I finally desert the illusions of rationalism for the actualities of romance, I should very much like to write one last roaring, raging book telling all the rationalists not to be so utterly irrational... Do not talk such bosh. I implore you, I supplicate you not to talk such bosh. Utterly and absolutely abolish all such bosh—and we may yet begin to discuss these public questions properly." -GKC"the Chesterton wit and charm and gentle satire [and] hard-hitting controversy. And you will also find a distinct thread that ties it all together. [...] first published in 1912, the essays ... often refer to current events and personalities from the early 20th century: coal strikes and railway strikes, game laws, women’s suffrage, and British Imperialism. ... in every case the larger point being made is very clear and is not tied to a time and place – unless it is our time and place. Chesterton’s mere observations of an event, whether in a headline or outside his window could be expounded upon into huge timely treatises. It is because truth has ramifications. And because it is true.The old controversies are still relevant. But each question points to a larger question. How do we assure the dignity and basic rights of the laborer? For whom does he labor: himself or some remote rich man? Does voting make any difference when our choices are so limited, when the choices themselves are not our choices but someone else’s? What is the nature of real democracy?" - Dale Ahlquist"These old articles of mine because they cover a very controversial period, in which I was in nearly all the controversies, whether I was visible there or no. And I wish to gather up into this last article a valedictory violence about all such things; and then pass to where, beyond these voices, there is peace--or in other words, to the writing of Penny Dreadfuls; a noble and much-needed work." -GKC

  X-MEN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The X-Men are a superhero team created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in 1963. They are mutants, humans born with superhuman abilities, facing prejudice and fighting against various enemies. The team was initially canceled due to low sales but revived in 1975. The Claremont era (1975-1991) saw the team become Marvel's top-selling comic. Key storylines include the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past". The X-Men have had many team rosters, and faced several schisms, deaths, and resurrections. In 2019, the Krakoan Age saw mutants form their own nation on the island of Krakoa, until the fall of Krakoa led to the X-Men scattering across the planet. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The X-Men were created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, and they first appeared in The X-Men #1 in September 1963. The team was initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales but became one of Marvel's most successful franchises after its 1975 revival.  
    
  Mutants in the Marvel Universe are humans born with a genetic trait called the X-gene, which grants them natural superhuman abilities that generally manifest during puberty. Due to their differences, mutants face prejudice and discrimination, which is a common theme in many X-Men stories.  
    
  Stan Lee decided that the new group of heroes would be "mutants" because he had grown weary of creating separate origins for each superhero. Marvel publisher Martin Goodman initially turned down the name "The Mutants" because he thought readers wouldn't know what a "mutant" was.
