In Bed with Susie Bright 688: Criminal, Insane, Horny: Politicians Who Beat the Odds, Hörbuch, Digital, 29min, (USK 18)
Susie is a judge in a contest that decides which politicians were the year's "best" purveyors of public corruption, outlandish behavior, and betrayals of the public trust. This annual awards ceremony, sponsored by Talking Points Memo (talkingpointsmemo.com), is called the Golden Dukes, in honor of former US Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who epitomizes the iconic modern scandal. This year brings a bumper crop of crazy and unethical behavior by so many lawmaker "contestants" that the judges had a hard time picking who was the worst with so many to choose from. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a great title to recommend: A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James, narrated by a full cast. The book won the 2015 Man Booker Prize, and Susie loves the audio version. The story travels from Kingston, Jamaica, in 1976, where Bob Marley's murder takes place amongst the slums, to the crack-filled streets of New York in the '80s, then back to a radically altered Jamaica in the '90s.

Promises to Keep: After the EMP: Disruption Trilogy Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 853min
In this thrilling final chapter of The Disruption Trilogy, R. E. McDermott once again transports us to a frighteningly realistic post-apocalyptic world of chaos and uncommon courage, and of both hope and despair. When a massive solar storm takes down the power grid, all order collapses with civilization kept alive only by scattered pockets of survivors who find themselves not only short of critical resources, but facing an unexpected enemy - what's left of their own government. Survivor resistance stiffens as an increasingly corrupt and tyrannical president clamps down on dissent and seeks to eliminate anyone who might expose his perfidy. With both the defenders of Fort Box in what's left of Wilmington, North Carolina, and the people of the ship Pecos Trader in southeast Texas facing uncertain futures, a resourceful and elusive George Anderson leads government forces on a wild goose chase along the Appalachian Trail, but the future looks grim. Only one man has the credibility and the stature to turn the situation around and fulfill a promise to himself - and the nation. Simon Tremble, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the last lawmaker not under control of the corrupt president, climbs out of his hidden hollow and starts south along the Appalachian Trail. He has promises to keep. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/097814/bk_acx0_097814_sample.mp3.

Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
In the most inspiring speech of his career, Ted Kennedy once vowed: "For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." Unlike his martyred brothers, John and Robert, whose lives were cut off before the promise of a better future could be realized, Ted lived long enough to make many promises come true. During a career that spanned an astonishing half-century, he put his imprint on every major piece of progressive legislation, from health care and education to civil rights. There were times during that career, such as after the incident in Chappaquiddick, when Ted seemed to have surrendered to his demons. But there were other times - after one of his inspiring speeches on the floor of the Senate, for example - when he was compared to Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Calhoun, and other great lawmakers of the past. Indeed, for most of his life, Ted Kennedy played a kaleidoscope of roles, from destructive thrill seeker to constructive lawmaker; from straying husband to devoted father and uncle. In Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died, celebrated Kennedy biographer Edward Klein at last reconciles these contradictions, painting a stunningly original, up-to-the-moment portrait of Ted Kennedy and his remarkable late-in-life redemption. ungekürzt.

In Bed with Susie Bright 615: Have You Been Silenced About Anal?, Hörbuch, Digital, 28min, (USK 18)
There's a Republican state legislator from South Dakota who wants to warn everyone about the dangers of anal sex. "Gay sex is not good for the mind or the body," he says. And he's looking for doctors to back him up. Ha! says Susie. Our lawmaker goes on to say that doctors are discouraged and intimated when it comes to telling the truth about anal sex. This makes Susie wonder if everyone has been intimated into silence when it comes to this issue. Oh, and by the way: this guy is also a pastor and believes that homosexuality has played a role in the downfall of past civilizations. Next, Susie has found a great Jezebel.com article about giving a "sophisticated hand job". What? you say. Isn't that an oxymoron? If you're like one of the many polled in this article who think that the old hand job is just a bottom-of-the-barrel sex alternative, well think again. There's a lady in Toronto who offers workshops for women on how to give a finer hand job than any man could give himself. Susie will tell you all the delicious details.

In Bed with Susie Bright 670: How to Pretend You're a 'Drug Addicted Bisexual Sex Deviant' to Win Fans and Voters in Michigan, Hörbuch, Digital, 27min, (USK 18)
A Christian fundamentalist Michigan lawmaker freaked out when his affair was about to go public. So what did he do? He spread rumors to divert attention away from the affair, instead saying that he was into sucking men's cocks. Hum says Susie. Wise move? And where does God weigh in on this kind of behavior? Tea Party conservative Todd Courser is the crazy whose idea was to "inoculate the herd" so his affair would seem tame by comparison. This has Susie and many Michiganders shaking their heads in wonderment. Next, Amnesty International has dug in even further in the debate over decriminalizing sex workers. It's working with an Australian organization that is helping women exit the sex trade. The women are learning new job skills, like sewing and cleaning. Ouch, these jobs are typically low paying. But it's being touted as a transition, a way out. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a great new audiobook to share with you: Barbarian Days by William Finnegan (who also narrates) is a memoir about a wandering life and a love of the sea. The sex in it isn't half bad either! Susie say's it's one of the best memoirs she's read or heard, period. Have a question or news story for Susie?

The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 677min
In this well-rounded, deeply investigated biography, the first full look at the vice president, two award-winning journalists unmask the real Mike Pence. Little known outside his home state until Donald Trump made him his running mate, Mike Pence - who proclaims himself a Christian first, a conservative second, and a Republican third - has long worn a carefully constructed mask of Midwestern nice. Behind his self-proclaimed humility and self-abasing deference, however, hides a man whose own presidential ambitions have blazed since high school. Pence’s drive for power, perhaps inspired by his belief that God might have big plans for him, explains why he shocked his allies by lending Christian credibility to a scandal-plagued candidate like Trump. In this landmark biography, Pulitzer Prize winner Michael D’Antonio and Emmy-nominated journalist Peter Eisner follow the path Pence followed from Catholic Democrat to conservative evangelical Republican. They reveal how he used his time as right-wing radio star to build connections with powerful donors; how he was a lackluster lawmaker in Congress but a prodigious fundraiser from the GOP’s billionaire benefactors; and how, once he locked in his views on the issues - anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro-big-business - he became laser-focused on his own pursuit of power. As The Shadow President reveals, Mike Pence is the most important and powerful Christian right politician America has ever seen. Driven as much by theology as personal ambition, Pence is now positioned to seize the big prize - the presidency - and use it to fashion a nation more pleasing to his god and corporate sponsors. ungekürzt.

Love or Laws?: When Law Punishes Life, Volume 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
Love or Laws: When Law Punishes Life (Essays on Law, Policy and Psychiatry, Vol. 4, 2018) is a study on so-called "sex laws" or age-of-consent laws. The study takes a critical point of departure and attempts to demonstrate that ages of consent are rather arbitrary legal instruments for so-called child protection. In fact, they are ineffective and do not protect children effectively against sexual abuse. The study gives practical examples about the ways they are applied in various state jurisdictions of the United States of America, such as Arkansas, Arizona, or Georgia, and to which results their application leads in real life. After an extensive review of attempts to reform age of consent laws in the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Switzerland, and other countries, the essays sets out to propose an altogether different solution: a love reform instead of a law reform, which means a different way of looking at the problem. Albert Einstein said that a problem can never be solved on the same level it was created, and so it is with sex laws. They were created during times of irrational lawmaking by our Church fathers, as a result of religious and legislative perversion, and have been taken over from canon law by the modern lawmaker without having reflected upon their law policy or rationale. The study concludes that age-of-consent laws are outdated, irrational, anti-life, unconstitutional, and violate basic human rights. With one word, they are illegal as they by and large violate the constitutional principle of nulla poena sine lege (due process). The study is dedicated to late Dr. Edward Brongersma, lawyer and senator of the Dutch Senate (1911-1998), who contributed to the essay with invaluable material from the practice of the Dutch government in matters of child protection, and with comments and suggestions. ungekürzt.
