I Know I’m Not Supposed to Say This… But I’ll Say it Anyway hardcover book
“Once we all believed in something called common sense,” writes Dick Feagler. “These days common sense is often regarded as a subversive activity.” That would make Feagler one of Cleveland’s leading subversives, for his widely read newspaper columns regularly flout political correctness in favor of a simpler, more old-fashioned pursuit of the truth.  And he is no late-awakening reactionary. Feagler has been writing eye-opening columns with the same direct style now for three decades - since long before the concept of political correctness arrived on the scene. Collected here are 129 of Feagler’s sharpest recent columns, originally published between fall 1998 and summer 2001. Whether the topic is politics or pop music, nostalgia or narcotics, Feagler aims straight and his words tend to strike right on target.
Fair Market Value: $22.95

Is it Just Me? hardcover book
Is it just me? - from time to time we all scratch our heads and ask that question. With the world and our culture changing at dizzying speed, who doesn’t sometimes feel like the only one left with common sense? Dick Feagler knows the feeling. Feagler has been in the business of telling Cleveland what he thinks for more than 35 years. For a generation, his sharply crafted common-sense commentary has challenged us, reassured us, inspired us, touched us, and made us laugh. His words have set the tone for so many daily conversations. Lately those conversations have been edgier and more thought-provoking than ever. And (no coincidence) so have Feagler’s columns. This book gathers selected columns that ran in the Plain Dealer since September 2001. The world has undergone monumental changes in that time, a period covering 9/11, the war in Iraq, Ohio’s fight over gay marriage, and the struggling local economy.
