About the Book

A brief on my vision on why I would write a stark eye view of the political arena. Sometimes I can’t help but have strong feelings that the Lord and my Guarding Angel Michael is constantly on my shoulder watching over me and nudging me on. I’ll cite an example that happened to me back when G.W. Bush and AI Gore were in the final throes of trying to determine who was the real elected President. Florida was the center of the crisis. Well about one a.m. in the morning I woke up with a word in my head. I had no idea where it came from. I had never heard it - wasn’t sure why it was there- since I hadn’t seen it before. It frustrated me to the point of looking it up in the new world dictionary. After hunting for the word that I was unsure of the spelling, I found the word Conflagration which meant a great and destructive fire. My frustration led me to the computer and I started typing an article. At approximately 9 am, I had completed an article that was ready for the opinion page of the Vero Beach Press Journal newspaper. My creativity had turned a great destructive fire into a destructive verbal fire. As an aside, this is one of many reasons for arriving at the book title- “POLITICAL BALDERDASH”. Buy it, read it, you’ll like it!


About the Author

About the Author At a young 85 last December the 27th Michael has been in music professionally since age 14, Michael and the Jolly Jesters Polka Band were doing Radio broadcasting one night weekly over WRRN in Warren, Ohio. He has a broad industrial background in Quality systems and procedures writing in Engineering and Management with defense oriented precision types of products. He has a wealth of technical writing systems and procedures manuals for several companies on a consulting basis. In July of 2000, the Lord touched Michael via his Guarding Angel Saint Michael. Here is a short story on Elian Gonzales a Cuban boy strapped on an inner-tube in the Atlantic Ocean and hence forth picked up by two fishermen and taken to shore. This became my first piece of journalism. I kept up with the happenings for 6 months or more, until my head was spinning from all the so called government experts. It was like everyone knew the answers, but the balderdash continued with no solution forthcoming. I had it! So through my mind and fingers with the computer keyboard, out came the article. The editor, reviewed it and said it was great and well written, but too long, so I talked him into a Guest Column. A lady called me and said, “it was a masterpiece and flowed like poetry”. Of course, I was the only Maggiano in the phone book. This was followed by 40 more articles in the opinion section of the Press Journal and the Ft. Pierce Tribune.
