    About this ebook

    Part One - Catcher McCall - Regrets and Rescue chronicled the events in Af-fucking-ghanistan, which culminates in inadvertently saving the life of a U.S. Congressman that warrants Catcher McCall to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Because of accepting the reluctant prize, the public's fascination catapults Catcher McCall to be a candidate for the presidency of the United States. What happened next is truer than fiction. As William Faulkner said, "The best fiction is far more true than any journalism."

    Part Two - I’m Catcher McCall: War hero, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, and candidate for the presidency of the United States. Why and how it happened makes telling the truth a revolutionary act. Indeed, truth is not obligated to conform to possibilities, and instead changes with time and convention. Famous Catcher McCall quotes in the context of being a candidate for the presidency.

    Catcher McCall ... Outsider is presented as a modern day epic in three volumes: Catcher McCall - Regrets and Rescue, Catcher McCall - Respect and Betrayal and Catcher McCall - Lost and Return. Volume Four - Catcher McCall vs. Wall Street is scheduled for release on April 1, 2013.

    If you dare to waste one hour of time you lost the value of life. From my pen is this creed - the golden rule to prevent the mind from rusting. I have often regretted my writing, never my silence. Yet through it all - my words are not faked. Hands-on experience makes the difference. Indeed, it's impossible to be a writer without having lived. My short list of skills may offer an insight to what I say.

      Daniel Macmillen Voskoboynik’s lyrical essay (The Long Read, NI 517) is brilliantly written so I was disappointed that it ended in bland optimism and the fluffiness of the ‘we’. This ducks the key political question of who are ‘we’ and who are ‘they’

      Introduction

      Catcher McCall ... Outsider is presented as a modern day epic. The first installment was published as Catcher McCall - Regrets and Rescue. Part Two will be released on August 1, 2012 as Catcher McCall - Respect and Betrayal. Part Three due September 15, 2012 entitled Catcher McCall - Lost and Return. Look for Part Four - Catcher McCall vs. Wall Street scheduled for April 1, 2013.

      The excerpts entitled Medal of Honor and Presidential Candidate of the United States are from Catcher McCall - Respect and Betrayal. Part One chronicles the events in Af-fucking-ghanistan, which culminates in inadvertently saving a U.S. Congressman's life that warrants Catcher McCall to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Because of accepting the reluctant prize, the public fascination catapults Catcher McCall to be a candidate for the presidency of the United States. What happened next is truer than fiction. As William Faulkner said, The best fiction is far more true than any journalism.

      Medal of Honor Excerpts: Part One

      "No you don’t! I lived with this guy in the worst of time. He was always on guard or polished his image and never cared about anyone. He knew that dying in Af-fucking-ghanistan was a heartbeat away, but would sellout ten battalions to buy easy passage. Saving him was not even a thought. Some ungodly force kept me attached to him.

      You’ll have your name on the Medal of Honor Roll and receive more pension money; a uniform allowance, free air travel, get to meet the president. And the best of it … you can be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

      "Just think, I can get pissed on in Washington DC more than once. I don’t want it! What I witnessed in Af-fucking-ghanistan. No … no, no! I’m not proud of this country, and wearing that Medal is not for me."

      "Please Catcher. I’ll do anything if you said yes to me."

      Oh, don’t put it that way, especially now. I can’t even get it up. Would you take a rain-check?

      What are you talking about?

      That’s a silly question, you know what I’m talking about?

      Okay, we have a deal.

      Done! Seal it with a kiss and show me the prize.

      She smiled. You’re a pig, Lieutenant McCall!

      All the time.

      You’re not the sweetest pea in the pod.

      Who said, I’m a pea? Come on Teagarden, its show time.

      "Done! Next subject: The Medal. It’s an important honor."

      When do you think the old pecker be workin’?

      Two weeks. It’s basically a simple procedure. Can we discuss the Medal for a minute? Like I said, it’s a big honor.

      Only if you want it. The government doesn’t give a flying fuck about me. All for show, and it cost them nothing.

      You do get benefits?

      "True, I can get my ass buried in Arlington. I know, you don’t have to tell me. Guys will give their left nut for this. If I saved one of my own, it would be a different story. Allegedly, I saved Baker, a low life congressman who was in Af-fucking-ghanistan to make brownie points and get reelected; now he’s look for it to carry him to the White House. You picture that prick being president? I sure don’t. They said your leaders are a reflection of us. Maybe we deserve him? From where I sit, this country is become irrelevant."

      Why do you say that? I see a lot of good. Kindness is always present in America.

      Let’s assume there never was a US of fuckin’ A. Indians would still own their land, maniac consumerism, world competition, the atomic bomb, manipulating world populations to satisfy the demands for a few hundred million people, while the global economies are slaves to what USA leaders dictate, this is the legacy. If the rest of the world consumed what we do, you would need six new Earths just to keep pace. Now, we’re in a desperate race because the rest of the world has figured us out. Seven billion people want what a few hundred million have. Can you imagine that?

      "You make it sound that we are the evil empire?"

      I slowly shook my head yes. "Just consider oil, and what we have done to secure it, and destabilized the entire world to insure its availability. After the Second World War the Pentagon recognized that whoever controlled cheap and accessible oil would rule the world. So we planted Israel in the Middle East to subvert the entire region because it was where most of the easily recoverable crude oil existed. The weapon of choice was religion to cause neighboring countries to take sides. So Arabs and Jews fought it out, while the USA played the game of manipulation. The end results – twenty-five or so wars, thousands of confrontations, political assassinations, government coups and a variety of other schemes to make certain that crude oil flowed to us. In the process over a billion people were killed, displaced or missing, for the privilege that Americans can waste energy at the expense of all others. That’s who we are."

      What the hell is going on here? Strangers want to shake my hand, offer words of gratitude, even
