Dwight Douglas- Gold, God, Guns & Goofballs: A Collection of Essays on America

from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards

This book is not an antidote for the left or right. It’s an accelerant to move the middle off their collective asses to do something positive for America. These essays on America reflect a blunt assessment of where we find ourselves and a call for open minds to think about how to fix things in the US of A. The author explores the notion of the corporate state of Gold, scrutinizes the meaning of God in our society, questions our unhealthy need for Guns and lays out the damage that the Goofballs in power have wrought in this great nation. Biography  Dwight C. Douglas was born in Pittsburgh, PA and attended Point Park University where he studied Journalism and Communication. He worked on the PBS TV show Mister Rogers Neighborhood as a film-telecine technician and worked at the American Broadcasting Companies as they were developing their FM properties. Douglas moved to Atlanta to join the largest radio consulting firm in the world, Burkhart-Abrams & Associates, where he later became president and worked with media companies around the world. During that 25-year period, he was instrumental in recruiting and coaching high-profile radio morning shows, including Howard Stern. He moved to New York in 2000 to be the vice president of marketing for a worldwide software company. In that same time, he produced a comedy web site. Throughout his career, he has written numerous screenplays, magazine articles and is the author of several books. In 2017, Dwight Douglas retired from his marketing job so he could write full-time. He splits his time between the Adirondacks in upstate New York and Florida’s Gold Coast; depending on the air temperature.
