    About this ebook

    God is the author of joy. Read the opening words of either of the Genesis stories (wait there's more than one?) and you'll meet a being who creates everything with love and happiness. It's easy to imagine God dancing through creation flinging a paintbrush dipped in light. When did God become the judge? When did God become the angry, somber, pinch-faced deity looking down from on high with a bucket of lightning bolts at the ready? This book, like its predecessor, celebrates the God who laughs, the God who plays hide-and-seek with Moses, the God who plays peek-a-boo (Look! I'm a burning bush. Look! I'm a pillar of smoke! Look! I'm in invisible. Heh, see what I did there?) The Old Testament is a wondrous collection of epic and totally screwy stories. Lions and bears and floods and people being turned into seasonings. People dance naked in parades, get their heads nailed to the ground, and we won't even go into the the guy with the talking ass. People follow gloriously screwed-up leaders on faith and then get to stand and watch as God wipes out their enemies like he's flicking a booger off his finger. Any book created to help us laugh at these stories is almost unnecessary. Almost. Read. Enjoy. Laugh out loud. Buy one for a friend. Another one? Seriously? You went and bought another one? What the hell is wrong with you? -St Patrick All those who purchase this book will have their contact information placed on a special government list of citizens suspected of having a sense of humor. -The Government...wait not the Government..uh...Bill Smith All of creation...the entire universe...reality as we know and don't know it... basically began as a farting contest gone too far. Not a lot of people know that. -God

    Steve Case

    Steve Case is one of America’s best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs, and a pioneer in making the internet part of everyday life. He cofounded America Online in 1985, when just three percent of people were online for an average of just one hour a week. He saw the possibilities of the digital future and built AOL into the largest and most valuable internet company in the 1990s (and the first internet company to go public). Case’s passion for helping entrepreneurs remains his driving force. He was the founding chair of the Startup America Partnership—an effort launched at the White House in 2011 to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship in every region of the country. Case also was the founding cochair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, where he chaired the subcommittee on entrepreneurship.  He was active in passing the bipartisan JOBS Act in 2012, which made it easier for startups to raise capital. His engagement on policy led Politico to name him “Washington’s tech whisperer” in 2017.  As chairman and CEO of Revolution, a Washington, DC-based investment firm he cofounded in 2005, Case partners with visionary entrepreneurs to build businesses such as Zipcar, Sweetgreen, Clear, Tempus, DraftKings, and many others. Case also serves as chair of the Smithsonian Institution, which under his leadership has launched a bold effort to make the best of the Smithsonian available to every home and classroom. He is also Chairman of the Case Foundation, and with his wife Jean was among the first to commit to The Giving Pledge, dedicating a majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

      Robert C. Koehler: Bob’s Rhubarb Lounge

      Sep 8, 2022

      Michael suggested the name Bob’s Rhubarb Lounge. I couldn’t stop laughing, at least on the inside. I imagined commissioning someone to make a neon sign with those words, maybe 10 feet high. I’d place it in front of my house, of course. Why not? The p
