Change We Can Believe In?: Commentaries on the Major Events of our Time: Volume V (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450233125)

ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at every important issue of our time with a unique and refreshing perspective. He comments on:

Obama accepting the Nobel Prize...

"Many people are still wondering what that mysterious light hovering over Norway was on the night before he arrived. But, despite claims that it was generated by a UFO or the failed test launch of a Russian missile, die-hard believers (like me) will tell you that it was just a celestial sign heralding the Nobel coming of Barack Obama."

Christmas Day underwear bomber...

"[W]e had the secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, assuring us on Sunday that 'the system worked' in this case. If this 'good-job-Brownie' faux pas doesn't suggest that our whole airline security system is devoid of logic, nothing does."

Cartoon of Obama kneeling and kissing shoe of Chinese leader...

Tiger Woods's Thanksgiving-Day spat with his wife...

"Cheating Tiger, fuming dragon...."
