November 4, 2004 was a day of newspaper headlines around the world announcing the re-election of President Bush for another four years.

This morning, in the Wall Street Journal, Jeffrey Trachtenberg announced that in an effort to capitalize on the current election buzz, two "instant" books will be published about the subject.

One, by Bertelsmann AG's Random House Publishing Group will be called The Bush Survival Bible.

For those admitted Bush supporters, like myself, we'll hope this is a tongue-and-cheek post-election book that is not just a Holiday gift I can give to all my friends in San Francisco, Boston and Washington D.C. who didn't get their guy elected.

In less than two weeks, the author, Gene Stone, wrote 250 ways to help you get through the next four years.

For instance:

* Are you suicidal? Here are 5 antidepressants to consider.

* Are you cold? Here are 6 reasons to love global warming.

* Are you ready to leave the country? Here are 7 countries to move to.

* Are you political? Here are 6 ways to get involved in local politics.

* Are you spiritual? Here are 9 prayers to get you through the night.

Stone's book would have been killed had President Bush lost. Now, 100,000 copies are expected to go on sale as early as tomorrow.

Stone, who used to work in publishing said, "I've never seen anything move this fast."

The $9.95 book will be shipped from the bindery directly to the stores rather than from the warehouse. It is not yet available via Amazon, but we will add a link to this post, when you can order it.

The other book to be published by PublicAffairs, a unit of Perseus Books LLC is called "Election 2004: How Bush Won and What You Can Expect in the Future" by Evan Thomas and the staff of Newsweek magazine.

This $14 paperback is expected to go on sale this January.

Inspire & Be Inspired (R), or at least laugh, I hope.

Here's to healthy, adventuresome, soulful living, and not just surviving but thriving over the next four years!
