#4 Tom, do you really expect him to write it?

I figure Random House had it written a month ago and just picked the "author" now.

Mein Kampf 1/5
David Hogg

Normally, the salutation of Mister is applied, but as the young male has not earned that accomplishment as of yet, we will work with the prepubescent honor of Davy.

Davy does spend some time letting you get to know him; his inner thoughts which do not show through his television personality.

Page 438:

Cindy didn't look at me today. In fact, I think she looks around me. Even the camera only adds 2 pounds. I mean, I try to gain weight but I can only meditate so much. That is OK, because if angst were an animal, I'd be a butterfly.

Later on, he intimately teaches the finer points of education, and shows his grasp on both the humanities and debate. This is a family site, so inappropriate words will be substituted with $.

Page 680:

I then I told the $ $ mother $ loser of a $ $ (lady) that I don't like ice cream anymore. Only $ NRA $ fascists put $ sprinkles on anyways. I $ grew out of that after $ leaving California. I $ hate you mom and dad. $ loved the beach.

Davy goes on to explain why today's educational system has failed to keep up with their generation.

Page 1056:

I mean, its so totaly ovious that collages just dont understand how advanced me and my classmates our. Who does gym anyways, and my grade point suffers for not making baskets? Total $ $.

All in all, a real page turner. Interesting reinterpretation of the reference section, instead substituting a very clever paper doll presentation. Also, the fifteen pages of hashtags are helpful. Grab your favorite gallon and a half of cheap vodka, a pitcher of kool-aid, and two days of sick leave bracketing the week end; you will have a time you will never forget. As I say, Moar Hogg!

#10 Brilliant, swksvolFF. May it be a coffee table tome that beggars whichever publisher takes it on.
