September 11th

Political humor, satirical fiction, and a lot about television and comic books.

Fall 2002. Reflections on a the year after Sep 11, short history on US involvement in the Middle East, lots of talk about Bush and his determination to go to war, and some great made up (or is it?) dialog between Bush and Dick. Also, a funny clip-art page about election day. <br />

From Spring of 2002. Grant tears into our government, our president, our culture, and everything else that needs a strong dose of cynical attitude. Enron, business, consumerism, and Van Gogh! Also, lyrics of songs that are most certainly meant to lead the revolution. 20 pages, full size. <br />

Winter 2002 edition. &quot;Okay, first the bad news: we're all fucking doomed.&quot; More humor at the expense of those we're told to follow, and more pictures of Bush looking stupid. A fictional story about life in the White House, reflections on being a substitute teacher, and funny cartoons with (drum roll) political messages. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

Retired seven years, widowed six years, childless, seventy-three years old, depressed, the author set out to find contentment through reflection and writing. Reinventing Myself: Memoirs of a Retired Professor is a series of personal essays recounting that quest and some of the experiences that came before it. Ms. Styne advocates writing for everyone, and hopes to encourage people of all ages, especially her fellow senior citizens, to write.
