Beskrivelse af Rise of the Looney Bird
Poor Francis Henderson. He's rich, he's handsome, he's even a Senator from Ohio, yet he cannot make a single decision. To deal with this issue, he visits Dr. Gerhardt, a psychiatrist, once a German scientist who sought to switch brains from one individual to another, who turns the timid, diffident senator from a mouse into a man. Not only a man, but one that America can be proud of, one who speaks out of both sides of his mouth, who feigns love and compassion while consumed with hatred and fear. The new Francis agrees once more to run for the Senate. His good doctor, using a brain synthesizer, and other brain washing techniques, creates a political superhero of our times who has no regard for anyone or anything but power. His helper, Cameron Bernstein, once a reporter for a Cleveland newspaper, and adherent to the sect known as Foreverism, becomes disenchanted with his candidate as Francis becomes less and less caring and more and more ruthless. Foreverism, a sect which once brought Francis and Cameron together, has as its high priest Lopez, not quite a human, not quite a spirit. The motto of Foreverism is: It All Works. And indeed, in the quest for power, Francis finds that everything does work. The hilarious tale of his rise to the highest office in the land, of his wife who grows to fear and despise him, of his girlfriend, a priestess of Foreverism, and the various characters who create the chaos in Washington we call our government, is one not to be missed.
