Who's faster than a speeding joke; more powerful than a loco weed; able to leap tall tales at a single bound; & who disguised as a mild-mannered comedian, fights for truth, justice & the new enterprise system. "Superspeaker" James "Doc" Blakely. Often quoted by Paul Harvey in his nationally broadcast radio program, Blakely has written an insightful book, cleverly illustrated, that successfully takes aim at 12 facets of American Life. From Big Shots (Famous People) to Long Shots (Politicians) - his "The Last Psalm" which begins "The Government is my Shepherd I Shall not Want" is a gem -- through to Lucky Shots (Philosophers), his short stories, anecdotes, & one-liners are right on target. Although not indexed, the book's structure is such that it can be used by speech writers & emcees. "It is must reading for those down in the dumps, down on their luck, or just plain down. It inspires, it cheers, it enlightens & entertains. If you couldn't tell, I liked it. Highly recommended for all types of libraries."--Jeffrey W. Imparato, Business Reference Librarian, Topeka Public Library, Topeka, Kansas.
This collection provides splendid moments of enjoyment and entertainment, yet conveys the serious message that humor is an essential part of our humanity--very much a part of god's plan for our lives.
