Jaded Americans can find some respite from incessant 2008 presidential campaigning with Capitol Hell, a snarky political satire whose premise is at once dark and hilarious. Artfully crossing the politicians in America's headlines with yesterday's schlock horror and science fiction movies, the startling duotone results will make some smile -- and some smile uncomfortably. Example: Vice President Dick Cheney is crossed with Dracula to form the aptly named Dickula, whose latest victim is Colin Powell. (On the card back Dickula is described as administering a fatal Colinoscopy.) The other 23 cards deliver similar political monsters on both sides of the aisle. 24 detachable, mailable postcards in book.
