Happy Cruelty Day! Daily Celebrations of Quiet Desperation

Screw Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July! For everyone looking to find a little extra magic (or for new ways to waste days in a life with little to celebrate), Happy Cruelty Day! is here.

Bob Powers has performed at HBO’s Aspen Comedy Festival, and he cohosts and performs in the monthly reading series “How to Kick People” in New York City. Bob has written for Flaunt magazine, The Onion A.V. Club, and the New York Press. Every day is a holiday at his Web sites, www.happycrueltyday.com and www.girlsarepretty.com.

Praise for Happy Cruelty Day!
"My kind of book. Mean, but in a way that makes me smile. It's like a pleasant nightmare."--Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen"Never again we will wonder why every day is the same. Now each day can be horribly, hilariously different."--Sam Lipsyte, author of Home Land
"Wickedly funny work - a writer to be reckoned with, and maybe just a little afraid of."--Chris Regan, Emmy Award-winning writer, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and co-author, America: The Book
"So much more than a humor book - hilarious, wise, and truly original - the daily psalmbook of the absurd."--Mike Albo, author of The Underminer"Bob Powers is the kind of man who can inform you that you'll be waking up in a dilapidated budget motel in Denver. That you'll be jumped by drug-addled corporate embezzlers; that you're prone to robbing your personal physician for his wedding ring and cash; that you're the last milkman in the country, and that you sleep with any boozed-up piece of office trash who wins the weekly trivia night at the local bar-and when he tells you all of this, it somehow makes your day. Hell, even your entire year."--Dan Kennedy, author of Loser Goes First; McSweeney's advice columnist
