Kenneth Starr would love to have it. Now it's yours--for just $7.95. Everybody has his secrets, but our president has a few more than most. Now, newly unearthed--and re-created here in its entirety--is Bill Clinton's private little black book. They're all here: Gennifer, Paula, Monica--and many more you haven't heard about. Yet. From the Oval Office to your home: a completely fabricated, meticulous reproduction--including the president's private entries, jottings, and doodles. Finally, we can all see what is going on in the mind of the leader of the free world: He only wants one thing--and it's not a balanced budget.

It looks like a newspaper, but the resemblance stops there. Ron Barrett’s off-the-wall parody covers such interesting news stories as “Gerbile Elected President of France” and “One-Minute-a-Day School Opens;” an interview with New York’s first teddy bear cab driver; a weather forecast prepared by the United States Bureau of Guessing; an entertainment section with a preview of the new TV season return of “Real Stupid World;” a home and family section with a Dear Gabby column, Your Horoscope, and other ridiculously unhelpful items. And what’s a newspaper without sports and comics? The Nutty News has it all plus lots of side-splitting advertisements. What’s funnier: Ron Barrett’s illustrations or his fake journalism? Our unscientific poll of five kids was split 50/50.
