Spill

SPILL, in which a fired English teachers scams the political system, gets the girl, the money and a killer skaterboarder video game. Big Oil + Sex = Game On

If you can't imagine one thing Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann could agree on, you need to read SPILL: a novel both sides of the political spectrum will find laughing-out-loud funny. Our toxic political atmosphere could use a few grins.

Fred Underwood, a failed English teacher fired long before retirement age, now makes his living as a package deliveryman. Seeing a gasoline station advertising its per gallon price at $4.15, an idea strikes him—how to use the political system to get rich. He will run as a Democratic candidate in an all Republican area for the state’s House of Representatives on an ultra-liberal campaign of nationalizing the oil industry, socializing medicine and banning handguns. His accomplice, Zoe, the female bartender he lusts for, will run against him so there will be a Democratic primary. He theorizes his campaign will encourage Big Oil and other special interests groups to donate money to her campaign and they will share the proceeds.

Thus begins a wild and very funny read.
