D.C. Shootout On K Street is a political satire loaded with lots of sophisticated humor and even wit. It's hoped that you'll be both entertained and informed at the same time. Imagine that the gods were distracted one day and they accidentally made you the president of the United States. You wake up in the Oval Office and people are amazed. Everybody demands that you resign at once and let an experienced politician be president because you don't know how to run the country. What would you do? Could you stand up to the evil bastards and tell them to go to hell? They'd work overtime to get your ass out of the White House. You'd be called a racist, an idiot, a crook, a sex fiend, a liar. They'd slander your family, try to impeach your ass, swear you were born in Kenya, hire assassins to shoot you, enlist those Swift Boat assholes to lie about your military record, claim your college transcripts were forged, and kidnap your kid as hostages. Or are there some laws you'd like to see passed? Maybe better Social Security benefits, lower interest on student loans, Medicare for all, more taxes on the rich and fewer on the poor, no more wars, close tax loopholes, rein in Wall Street, free Jose Padilla, raise duties on China, restore our infrastructure, open more factories, etc. If you like the nook please tell others; maybe we can round up enough people for a minor rebellion and make some real changes that actually help average American s instead of the 1%ers.
