"Have you been following the Presidential campaign closely? You have? So which antidepressant are you taking?" With these words, the author begins a series of satires of the candidates and issues that make some voters hope the Mayan prediction comes true. Besides fake first-person testimonials from Messrs. Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Obama, as well as parodies of Perry, Palin and Trump, there is an account of a debate where the candidates are attached to polygraphs, a visit to a libertarian theme park, a seminar for adulterous politicians, and fantasies of Abe Lincoln and Richard Nixon in the partisan hell that is 2012 politics. Cranky Cuss, author of the e-book "Europe On $500 a Day (And Other Reasons to Stay Home)," believes laughter is the best medicine and "Send in the Clown Car" requires no prescription. But please turn off the cable news first.
