Summary

In his introduction, Ed Gamble points out the intriguing relationship of political cartoonist and politician. It is a relationship that can range from downright antagonistic to one of mutual praise. While political cartoonists would have a hard time making a livelihood without politicians, politicians often do wish that they were living without editorial cartoonists. It is a sentiment one might infer from the forewords by former presidents George Bush and Gerald Ford. President Bush discusses how you have to "take the good with the bad" in the world of editorial cartoons. "Grin and bear it," he says, "that's the best way." President Ford feels that humor is "indispensible to democracy" and the "clearest and most resounding expression of freedom that we have," although he too has felt the sting of cartoonist attacks. Overall, his best advice after nearly three decades of political service in the nation's capital is to "smile; maybe the next one will be nicer." In this collection of cartoons, the editorial cartoonist for the Florida Times-Union focuses on the ups, downs, and pitfalls of the political world. The title refers to Bill and Hillary Clinton, the subject of the first seven chapters. These chapters include: "In the Beginning: The Campaign," "Bill and Hillary Take Over," "Foreign Affairs: The New Confused Order," "Domestic Affairs: More Disorder!," "Hillary's Health Care," "Whitewater, and Foreign Affairs II: Help!" Other chapters discuss topics from the O. J. Simpson trial to the November 1994 elections to the new Republican agenda.

    Places I Can't Return To is a collection of true stories by comedian Sean Bair-Flannery. Each chapter is a place he cannot return to, usually because the people who live or work there warned him to never return. Or sometimes because those places are now in the bottom of a lake. 
The book intertwines Sean's own outrageous stories with funny asides on the history of these places. Like a travel book, if the author only stayed at places that have since been demolished. Or perhaps it's more like a memoir if the author was so drunk, he accidentally wrote a travel book.

    Still Happy is Elizabeth's second collection of Facebook posts. Her first, Make Someone Happy, did indeed make many people happy, and so, due to popular demand, she has put together a second volume, which includes "The Book of Homer," a tribute to her beloved dog who recently died. Still Happy, like Make Someone Happy, exemplifies Berg's gift, as the Boston Globe said, "in her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday."
