Here we are at the Rizzoli bookstore having a “conversation”, just like we have every day all day long for the past forty six years. Except this time there were a hundred people listening. Oh, we were talking about the book, Please Do Not Touch, which you yourself can buy and read if you click on the pics, which will take you to Amazon where you can Prime yourself a copy. We ourselves encourage you to do that because otherwise we’ll need to do more public conversations.

I tried to warn you. But noooooo, you knew better. Okay, have it your own way. It won’t be me whining and bitter about how life has passed you by. So get it from Barnes & Nobel or Rizzoli or Three Lives or god knows where. Do a little work, why don’t you. It’s out there. You want to read it after the train has passed? Now’s the time everyone in New York and Milan are talking about it. Okay, okay. Up to you. Just don’t come crawling.

Our about to be immensely popular new book, with the same title as the t-shirt, will be released on April 10th by Rizzoli. It will probably sell out in one day. Look at what happened to Fire and Fury. Of course, our book is not about Trump. Though it does have some pretty juicy revelations. It’s the story of MOSS, like you never heard it before. And speaking of Trump, did you know he NEVER shopped at MOSS? Unless it was him who broke in that night and stole the bicycle. I wouldn’t put it past him. Anyway, click on the shirt to go to the special Please Do Not Touch website where you can learn everything you need to know, including that you should pre-order from Amazon. It’s better to be safe than sorry, my grandmother always said. She always pre-ordered. And no, you cannot buy that t-shirt. It’s sold out. Let that be a lesson to you.

Our friend Bob Grossman was one of the greatest political illustrators. You of a certain age will remember one of his funny and trenchant early drawings, above. That’s Nixon enabler Henry Kissinger standing at the end of that nose. Bob did more than 500 covers, for Rolling Stone, New York Observer, The Nation, and the NY Times. Click on the nose to read his Times obit. And as a special tribute to Bob, nothing could be better than to buy a few rolls of his Trump dog poop bags, seen below. Click on President Shithead’s ugly shitty face to go to Amazon for this timely purchase. $9 will get you three rolls, 15 bags to a roll. Rest in peace, Bob.

It does finally seem to be happening, the release of our book. Scheduled for April 10, but last week the advance copies arrived. What this means is that a box of books arrived by FedEx ahead of all the others which are on a ship somewhere. Design-obsessed Somali pirates take note. We are wore out handling the thousands of pre-launch demands for interviews and photo sessions. Okay, maybe not thousands. Okay, two. But they were long, okay? It seemed like more. You can click on the book and be whisked over to Amazon where you can preorder and have it delivered to your door rather than have to go out in the fourth or fifth bombogalactic winter storm which are no doubt waiting around the corner.

We do try (not that hard, admittedly) to avoid politics here at Bureaublog, but when things go completely out of control, it’s hard to stay quiet. Today in the Times there was an astounding double-page ad that listed every member of Congress taking money from the NRA and how much they took. Yes, some of the worst, truly despicable monsters were getting millions. But most were not. Most got less than $40,000. A few got practically nothing. Somebody got $1000. Is money so hard to raise that you will sell your soul for $1000? That seems about right for most of the souls in Congress. Maybe even somewhat high. But for amounts like that, our elected officials choose to do the bidding of an unspeakably evil organization that stops even the smallest attempt at gun control sanity. This is disgusting. Truly disgusting. Not as disgusting, of course, as what you’ll find if you click on the photo (from the Times). You’ll go to an op-ed Times piece from October where you’ll see career totals of how much the “top ten” each got from the NRA. Prepare to be sick.
