JFK, Marilyn, Elvis: Trashing the dead with books
Remember, they can say whatever they want….anything about anybody…as long as that person is gone.
Details‘What Would You Do For A Million Dollars?’ (Jack Engelhard’s ‘Indecent Proposal’ Now On Kindle)
Jack Engelhard’s provocative international bestselling novel and mega-hit movie is now available on Kindle (as well as paperback). The movie “was an adaptation of author Jack Engelhard’s novel of the same name; it [the novel] was a gut-wrenching study on love, money and trust.” NPR “Precise, almost clinical language. Is this book fun to read?…
DetailsJack Engelhard’s Views of the Absurd
Quotes taken randomly and modestly from my various and varied writings… The factual/novel “The Bathsheba Deadline” saw it all coming. What makes me so smart? I’m not. I’m a pessimist and pessimists are on the money 98% of the time. As long as there are other women there’s going to be trouble. (From my…
DetailsImus in the Morning, Lenny Bruce at Night
By Jack Engelhard
After a draught of some months, I finally got the Cable people to hook me up with Don Imus’s radio program that also appears on TV. What a relief! It’s good to hear all that irreverence and smack amid all the sanctimonious chatter now that we’re deep in the heart of yet another political season.
Here’s what I like about Imus…he tolerates no smugness. Reminds me of Lenny Bruce back when real people ruled the earth.
Today every man is certain of his views and there are no discussions, only dogmas and orthodoxies. People shout at one another. Nobody listens. Liberals especially come boxed and petrified within an agenda. They have the answer to everything. Conservatives aren’t perfect, either.
But Liberals inherited their Liberalism from their fathers and grandfathers of the 1960s and today practice their culture and politics with a vengeance.
This is Liberalism on steroids.
Back then (in the 1960s) we didn’t have answers. We had questions. We were a generation of iconoclasts. We worshipped no idols; neither Left nor Right.

Lenny Bruce showed up regularly as did Mort Sahl and Allen Ginsberg.
DetailsAre All Men Like Weiner?
By Jack Engelhard
Before that it was Tiger, then came Arnold, and now it’s Weiner caught flagrante delicto…all that plus others too numerous to mention, including governors and even presidents…and I almost forgot that guy who heads a world bank of some sort. Back to what I keep saying, that “as long as there are other women there’s going to be trouble.”
What about all those men of the cloth and that evangelist guy?
Woody Allen said that he never meets a woman that he doesn’t mentally undress. That’s not an exact quote but you get the gist.
Are all men created equally horny – and what about women, are they totally innocent? If so, why do so many keep inviting us to view their” pix?”
Who knew that we Americans were so lustful.
(Not me. Girls, before you answer – what are you wearing, by the way?)
The Internet, OMG, what goes on there would make a sailor blush, and we’re talking millions hooking up for real or by virtual imagination.
I say this, too (in “Indecent Proposal”) that “sex is nothing. Temptation is everything.”
