Autorenporträt
Mickie Winkler is an alien from Planet Zalaria who delights in chronicling our antics here on Planet Earth. She has observed earthlings watering their decorative plants. She marvels at the 40,000 state laws Americans pass each year. She wonders why cops buy expensive body cameras when all the cameras seem to fail. You can share her fascination with earthlings when you read her observations, all presented in very short pieces--short enough to share with guests. "Zalarians were once much like earthlings," Winkler explains, "but alas, we now lack the ever-entertaining drive for power and sex, so evident among earthlings and chimpanzees." (Winkler, by the way, has no doubt that when female earthlings achieve parity with males, they too will demonstrate a drive for power and has so written in this very book.) As an illegal alien, Winkler has zero inalienable rights. Before beaming back to Zalaria, she still needs to answer the question: is there intelligent life on Earth?
