A Bridge Too Far Not Far Enough [ARNS]

“This has been The Ronald’s playbook since forever,” said long-time McDruhitmumpf chronicler David Cay Johnstonmassacre. “He’ll agree to one thing, then, when it’s most inconvenient for the other side, he’ll renege and demand things he was never entitled to get. When he was three years old, he stopped in the middle of being toilet trained to demand a cookie. He was strapped by his father for his insolence, but all that taught him was to be more brazen in timing his rebellious demands. The Ronald’s a master at learning exactly the wrong lesson from a humiliation.”

About Ira Nayman

Satirist. Aardvarkist. Sci fi writer. Swift Satire Award winner Ira Nayman gets around. The Ugly Truth, the eighth novel in his Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse series published by Elsewhen Press, came out in July, 2022. “Girls Rule the Steampunk World!”, his 24th published short story, appeared in Brave New Girls: Chronicles of Misses and Machines round the same time.

In addition to his work as an author, Ira was the editor of Amazing Stories magazine for three years. During that time, he edited seven issues of the magazine as well as seven Amazing Selects, including work by Allan Steele, John Stith and David Gerrold.

Oh, and as you may have noticed, Les Pages aux Folles, Ira’s web site of political and social satire, is now 20 years old. In internet time, that’s positively ancient!
