Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Want to resist in a totally free way? Go get a library card today. Use it to check our books by diverse authors and on subjects like civil rights. Learn about those topics and show that they are important to your community (and maybe hide them from people who would want to remove them) #resist

We all need to get outside, surround ourselves with animals and disconnect from this crazy world!

It’s the new American 80s so I dug out my ancient copy of THE CLOTHES HAVE NO EMPEROR, a book which laid bare the Reagan admin just by listing all the idiotic things that happened. Introduction still holds up!
This book is a work of self-defense. It is the response of one observer who realized that his perception of the truth—an actor is playing the President—was a distinctly unpopular one. An observer who saw his nation's history being fictionalized as it occurred— an actor is playing the President! —while the ratings race turned media "watchdogs" into accomplices, bit players in the hit TV show the Presidency had become. An observer whose very sanity was threatened by the ease with which illusion-an actor is playing the President! —was embraced as reality. I did not find the President's ignorance charming. I was unwarmed by his genial head-waggling, unreassured by his stern frowns of manly purpose, uncheered by his hearty waves as he strolled to and from his limos and choppers and jets. His smooth purr did not soothe me. His nostalgic fables about an America that never was did not inspire me. And his canned one-liners, perversely celebrated as "wit" ("If I'd gotten a hand like that in Hollywood, I never would have left") definitely did not amuse me. The voting majority, humbled by its recent presidential choices, was thrilled to have elected someone who at least looked the part, but all I could see was the emptiness of his suit. To me, the President was a pitchman who seemed not to exist when the camera light was off, a front man so personally invisible that he'd actually called his autobiography Where's the Rest of Me?, an aging star who'd spent way too much of his time watching his own movies, like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Astonished that so few seemed to share my vision, I was compelled to document it. Armed with scissors, file folders, yellow highlight pens and a bank of VCRs, I embarked on an eight-year quest, gathering evidence to prove my case: AN ACTOR IS PLAYING THE PRESIDENT! I began reading four, then six, then eight papers a day (and five, then 10, then 20 magazines a week), seeking out the absurd and the outrageous, clipping and filing everything … landscapes. I became a media prospector, mining vast acres of ink in search of the perfect details and telling quotes that held the golden nuggets of truth. I began a video file, recording the evening newscasts—first one network, then two, then three—and dubbing the key sound-bites onto meticulously logged master tapes. The events of the decade were like a surreal novel unfolding in the media, and I found myself scrambling to get it all down, compiling a memory for a nation that clearly didn't want one. The Clothes Have No Emperor is the result—a presentation of the Reagan years as I saw them, an invitation to historians to set the record straight while Nancy is around to see it, and a call to vigilance as we set about choosing who will lead us into the next millennium. Yes, The President Reagan Show is off the air now, but a similar entertainment-Dan Quayle's Playhouse—is waiting in the wings. As we head into the '90s, the powers that be are working overtime-with the complicity, once again, of segments of the media that surely know better-to lull us into thinking that our Vice President is "growing" into his office and will soon be ready for bigger things. Do not assume that this lightweight can never be elected to the White House. Back in the '60s, we knew the very notion of "President Reagan" was preposterous. Paul Slansky New York July 1989
