Along with his books, author Vincent Yanez also wasted time writing the occasional political piece for his local newspaper and various websites. By the end of 2012 he found he no longer enjoyed talking about a political system that seemed to be falling apart, mainly due to a group of politicians who gained power by using hate, fear and ignorance as their rally cry. Vince decided that instead of writing about politics, he would instead, make fun of it. This is a collection of those political satire pieces, which made their way around the internet in 2013, along with some cartoons he drew when the words wouldn't come. Vince no longer involves himself much in politics. But he does hope the American people will someday find the courage to with fear or ignorance, and give D.C. what it has needed for a while now, a good cleaning out.
