Madam Senator

Madam Senator Review



Danika Cahill, is running for U.S. Senator from Washington State in the year 2020. Like Harry Truman, Danika speaks plainly and with none of the usual politician's double speak the public is used to hearing. She wants to tax the rich, reduce the military, and give medical care to everyone. The very ideas that may very will cause her trouble once in Washington D.C.
Danika knows it and is prepared to fight for what she believes in.
Sam McGibbon has been her body guard, on loan from the Washington State Patrol, during her campaign. After saving her life, Danika asks Sam to join her in D.C. to watch her back while she tends to her senator's duties and keep track of the political issues that define her term as senator. Together they head to Washington D.C. to change the landscape of the country's politics.
Conrad Jansen, senior Republican senator and main opposition to Senator Cahill's political agenda, has other ideas. Ideas that can cause Danika harm if she doesn't heed his warnings. He'll stop at nothing to maintain his control on Washington.
From made up stories of her divorce leaked to the press, to the attempts on her life, to break-ins, car crashes, and office bugging. It's a busy time for the senator and Sam in D.C. Not to mention an assassination attempt in her own state.
Nothing says welcome home to Seattle like an attempt on your life.

My Senator And Me: A Dog's Eye View Of Washington, D.C.

My Senator And Me: A Dog's Eye View Of Washington, D.C. Review



Living legends Ted Kennedy and David Small team up to provide a smart, funny, and affectionate look at life in our nation's capital from the perspective of the senator and his very perceptive dog.

There's an old saying: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." A few years ago, Senator Ted Kennedy decided to do just that.
Now his beloved Portuguese Water Dog Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave (nicknamed Splash) is the most famous canine on Capitol Hill. Here we follow Senator Kennedy and Splash through a busy day in D.C., from press conferences to meetings with school groups to committee discussions to a floor vote. The result is an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most energetic figures in American politics -- and, of course, his equally famous owner.

The Wrecking Crew of '33: The Washington Senators' Last Pennant

The Wrecking Crew of '33: The Washington Senators' Last Pennant Review



In the spring of 1933, with a new president in office and a banking crisis narrowly averted, there was optimism in Washington, D.C., even among the baseball fans. The hard-luck Senators, who topped 90 wins in each of the previous three seasons only to finish well in back of the pennant winner, seemed full of promise. They secured a "new deal" of their own with 26-year-old Joe Cronin, their peppery shortstop, who had emerged as one of the best players in the American League. Newly signed as the youngest manager in the majors, Cronin was determined to lead the Senators to the pennant, though Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the world champion New York Yankees stood in the way.

The Senator's Aide

The Senator's Aide Review



For Robin Mitchell, it was the job offer of a lifetime. Fresh out of university she was given a job as junior aide to a powerful United States Senator. For the first week, she thought she'd won the lottery. But she soon began to realize that the Senator wanted a more personal kind of aide than she had ever imagined. And he wasn't about to take no for an answer. All too soon his combination of pressure and persuasion had her bent across his desk, and then being used by him and given as a sexual present to his friends and colleagues. At first, she despised them and their crude power games, and herself for allowing them to use her to sate their lust. But Robin was learning how the game was played in Washington. For she had a lithe, lovely young body all the old men wanted, and would use it as a stepping stone to wealth and power
