A collection of letters to the editor, Even Custer Had Better Odds: Being Blue in a Red (Hendricks) County reflects Dean Pappas' divergent political opinions on contemporary issues. Topics range from the attacks of "911" to Hurricane Katrina. Pappas makes his opinions known even to those who strongly disagree. Pappas spends a lot of time showing the fallacy of the Bush Administration's tax cuts and the reckless government spending of "borrow and spend." He points out that Bush wants to do away with the Estate Tax and the billions of dollars that it provides-just at a time when we desperately need revenue, especially to finance the war in Iraq. Also, he points out that there is not enough money to adequately fund programs for veterans, education, and health care. Furthermore, he describes Bush's philosophy as "No Millionaire Left Behind." Pappas also discusses other issues such as gay marriage, abortion, high gas prices, and Supreme Court nominees. He shows his own religious beliefs when he opposes gay marriage and abortion. Also, he is critical of Bush's Supreme Court nominees and has a strategy for what the Democrats need to do to win the next presidential election. Overall, Even Custer Had Better Odds: Being Blue in a Red (Hendricks) County reflects one man's divergent political views and is available from authorhouse.com.
