In DIRTY STORY, aspiring novelist Wanda asks successful writer
Brutus for advice and gets more than she bargains for.  First he trashes
her manuscript.  Then, despite this, they move in together, beginning a 
sadomaschochistic relationship.   During a dispute over the apartment,
Wanda's pistol-toting cowboy ex-boyfriend, Frank, knocks down the
door and comes in with his British bartender sidekick, Watson.  Wanda declares
"Call me Israel!", and the story takes a turn into political allegory.  Frank
and Watson bear a striking resemblance to Bush and Blair, and Brutus and
Wanda's dispute looks a lot like a certain infamous Middle East conflict.
Can Frank and Watson resolve this crisis, do they have any business trying?
And can it all be solved with poker game?  Cowboy Frank believes he has
the solution: "Be like me.  Do like I do.  And it works."  But does it?

In CAMPING WITH HENRY & TOM, Henry Ford, Thomas Alva Edison,
and president Warren G. Harding go camping together .
