You think you know why our government in Washington is broken, but you really don't. You think it's broken because politicians curry favor with special interests and activists of the Left or Right. There's something to that and it helps explain why these politicians can't find common ground, but it misses the root cause. A half century ago, elected officials in Congress and the White House figured out a new system for enacting laws and spending programs--one that lets them take credit for promising good news while avoiding blame for government producing bad results. With five key tricks, politicians of both parties now avoid accounting to us for what government actually does to us. While you understand that these politicians seem to pull rabbits out of hats, hardly anyone sees the sleight of hand by which they get away with their tricks. Otherwise, their tricks wouldn't work. DC Confidential exposes the sleights of hand. Once they are brought to light, we can stop the tricks, fix our broken government, and make Washington work for us once again. The book explains the necessary reform and lays out an action plan to put it in place. Stopping the tricks would be a constructive, inclusive response to the anger that Americans from across the political spectrum feel toward what should be our government.

Semi-Finalist for the 2019 James Thurber Award * One of Vulture's Top-10 Comedy Books of 2018 * A "Must" pick by Entertainment Weekly * An A.V. Club Best Books selection * A "New and Noteworthy" selection by USA Today In celebration of The Simpsons thirtieth anniversary, the show’s longest-serving writer and producer offers a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox series that has become one of the most revered artistic achievements in television history. Four-time Emmy winner Mike Reiss—who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one in 1989—shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America’s most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show’s writers, animators, actors and celebrity guests. He answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards, and reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes. In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The Simpsons—a personal highlights reel of his achievements, observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters yellow; dishes on what it’s like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned after traveling to seventy-one countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there’s no electricity in many of these places); and even reveals where Springfield is located! He features unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword, and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more. Like Cary Elwes’ As You Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong’s Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith’s The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved programs in all of television land.

Washington est la capitale du monde. Mais que connaît-on vraiment de cette ville qui, plus que tout autre depuis Rome, mérite le titre de « cité impériale » ? Quelle est la réalité cachée derrière l’écran des mythologies hollywoodiennes, des clichés médiatiques, des « photo-ops », et des idées reçues ? Savez-vous que le plan du District de Columbia a été conçu par un officier français, compagnon de La Fayette ? De quelle salle secrète le président des Etats-Unis gère les crises? Quel rôle les employés de la SAIC jouent dans la lutte contre Ben Laden ? Comment la Fed a conjuré la menace d’une nouvelle Grande Dépression ? Qui est Fannie Mae, dont on dit qu’elle possède Washington? Quel est l’enjeu du combat aérien qui oppose Boeing et EADS dans le ciel de la capitale? Que fait le Groupe Carlyle ? Une année durant, Patrick Sabatier a vécu et enquêté dans les coulisses d’une ville au cœur de la démocratie en Amérique, et l’arène de luttes pour le pouvoir qui sont aussi des jeux du cirque ponctués de scandales, d’affaires de corruption et d’épreuves de force dont le résultat concerne le monde entier. Il a suivi plusieurs acteurs de ce jeu du pouvoir, qui ont accepté de lui révéler « leur » Washington. Un juge à la Cour Suprême, un évangéliste qui a ses entrées à la Maison- Blanche, un Congressman, un entrepreneur passé de l’Internet à l’Irak, un idéologue néo-con, le patron du principal syndicat américain, un Commissaire fédéral en lutte contre les trusts des médias, un lobbyiste etc.., autant de personnages qui racontent de l’intérieur le roman de Washington dans la fièvre de la présidentielle 2008. L’Amérique telle qu’elle est, plutôt que telle qu’on l’imagine.

In the 1950s, Confidential magazine, America's first celebrity scandal magazine, revealed Hollywood stars' secrets, misdeeds, and transgressions in gritty, unvarnished detail. Deploying a vast network of tipsters to root out scandalous facts about the stars, including their sexual affairs, drug use, and sexuality, publisher Robert Harrison destroyed celebrities' carefully constructed images and built a media empire. Confidential became the bestselling magazine on American newsstands, surpassing Time, Life, and the Saturday Evening Post. Confidential's spectacular rise was followed by an equally spectacular fall. Stars filed multimillion dollar libel suits against the magazine, and the state of California, prodded by the film studios, prosecuted its publisher for obscenity, culminating in a famous, star-studded Los Angeles trial in 1957. The lawsuits forced Confidential to end its scandalmongering, and it stopped printing its sleazy gossip in 1958. However, the magazine's legacy lives on in our culture's obsession with gossip and celebrity scandal. Confidential's success marked the end of an era of hush-hush—of secrets, closets, and sexual taboos—and the beginning of our age of tell-all exposure.
