My culture is depraved, Not sure it can be saved . . . Of Thee I Zing. Land filled with STDs, Pants way down to the knees, Nary a “thanks” or “please” This is going to sting. . . .

While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her: Our country is in grave peril. Our culture of ignorance, arrogance, and gluttony undermines our present and endangers our future. Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster: zombie teens texting each other across a café table; a man having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoehorned into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a Victoria's Secret model spilling out of her push-up bra and into the faces of young passersby. Ingraham wondered, “Is this it? Is this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled for? I wonder if Victoria's Secret is still having that two-for-one sale?”

In an act of patriotic intervention, the most-listened-to woman in talk radio casts her satirical eye upon all that ails American society. In this sharp-witted comic romp, Laura Ingraham takes you on a guided tour through ten levels of our cultural hell.

You know we're in trouble when . . .

Airplane seats shrink—just as the passengers expand.

Celebrity baby names go from the peculiar (Apple, Stetson, and Daisy Boo) to the pathetic (Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx).

 People meticulously tend their virtual crops on Farmville, while their children eat takeout.

“Breaking News” usually means it happened yesterday.

The weddings last longer than the marriages.

 Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an ancient art form.

 Of Thee I Zing is cultural commentary too funny to ignore, igniting a national conversation long past due. America, your cultural recovery begins here.

Heaven is a real place. It's where Jesus lives and waits for those he loves to come to him. It's a place of joy and love and hope--a place where all of God's children, young and old, will stay and be happy forever. The inspirational words of Anne Graham Lotz tell of the joys and comforts of heaven. The beautiful rhyming text and engaging, familiar images help children understand that heaven is real and Jesus is waiting for them to come someday. Engaging questions and scripture references in the back of this book will help parents reinforce the message that Heaven is a place of love that we can all look forward to seeing one day.

The Diary of President Barack Obama

The White House

May 19, 2010

I was going to write about tonight's state dinner for Mexico and the amnesty plan, but we've got a national crisis here! I think somebody's been snooping in this diary! The pages are all wrinkled! And the most personal entries are dog-eared! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) On May 20, 2010, Laura Ingraham received a package from an anonymous source that will change the history of the United States and the legacy of President Barack Obama. While retrieving her automobile from the underground garage at the Watergate complex (where she had just enjoyed her weekly pedicure), Ingraham discovered a manila envelope on the hood of her car. When she picked it up, a deep baritone voice called out from a nearby stairwell: 'Just read it. You'll know what to do.' The shadowy figure then disappeared into the darkness without another word.

The envelope contained copies of what appeared to be diary entries written by President Barack Obama, his family, and high-ranking administration officials. Because the 'diaries' are so revealing, Ingraham felt compelled to release them to the American public and the citizens of the world.

Major media outlets love to describe the president as 'no drama Obama,' but The Obama Diaries tells a different tale. Through these 'diary entries,' readers will see past the carefully constructed Obama façade to the administration's true plans to 'remake America.'

In The Obama Diaries, Ingraham hilariously skewers the president and his minions. She takes aim at:

•the cynical 'razzle-dazzle' marketing of Obama's radical agenda

•the use of the Obama 'brand' and family to obscure Obama's true aims

•Michelle Obama's gardening and anti-obesity initiative; and much more.

Informative and hugely entertaining, The Obama Diaries will inspire both laughter and critical thinking about the future of the nation and the man currently at the helm.

Obama on Sarah Palin:

'Hell, doesn't Palin have anything better to do than criticize me? Shouldn't she be back home shooting some endangered wolf species from a helicopter?' (April 9, 2010)

Michelle on being First Lady:

'I'll be damned if all this fabulosity is going to go to waste reading Dr. Seuss to snot-nosed kids all day.' (January 23, 2009)

Vice President Joe Biden on Michelle Obama:

'She's kind of like a black Hillary Clinton. I mean that in a good way.'  (May 5, 2009)

Obama on his visit to the Vatican:

'If I can ingratiate myself with a few more of these red-hats, the pope thing might not be a bad follow-up to the presidency.'  (July 10, 2009)
