In a format of alternating text and cartoons, author Michael K. Smith ("Portraits of Empire") and cartoonist Matt Wuerker deliver a comprehensive overview of the insane world of George W. Bush, and a close up of the -inmates at the White House Asylum -- who run your country. You'll meet Duct Tape Tom, whose vision for Homeland Security would scare even J. Edgar Hoover.

And then there is the economy. If you aren't rich, it -isn't for you. Smith and Wuerker reveal that wealth is poverty, explaining why the rich need more tax cuts. But there's something for everyone after all -- we're entrusting your grandma's pension to the NASDAQ!

The foreign policy section contains three parts:

It's a Snap! Americanizing The Middle East in Three Easy Steps

Evildoers For Dummies

The Anti-Missile Shield -- Transcending the Fear of Initiating Nuclear War

In a wry defense of HMOs, Smith and Wuerker show that sick people are the medical profession's greatest threat.
