Dick Cheney Code 
A Parody

A bestselling, Harvard-bred humorist plans to knock out a slapdash, quick-buck parody of a wildly successful, head-spinning, clue-laden thriller in a flagrant attempt to cash in on the publishing sensation of the decade, but the tousle-haired satirist’s sleazy scheme goes awry when his two heroes – beautiful, brilliant Sandra Damsel and brawny, brainy Professor William Franklin – stumble on an explosive and frankly preposterous centuries-old secret that plunges them into a puzzle-packed, plot-crammed, prose-swollen Washington intrigue whose flabbergasting finale will determine the outcome of the 2004 presidential election. Cryptic praise for The Dick Cheney Code "1, 1!" (highest rating) – The Fibonacci Report "Hysterical! Lacey shirt!" – Anagram Monthly "I laughed so hard I xxxxxx in my pants!" – Redacter’s Digest "I bend over double! I hold my sides! I tickle my ribs! I slap my thighs!" – Mime Magazine "Three syllables, sounds like: Upper arm? Broken arm? Broken bone? Radius? Humerus? HUMOROUS!" – Charade Magazine "Too funny for words!"
