I’ve had a Kindle (original) since July 2008. Bummingly, it crapped out on Saturday. There is a known issue where if you press too many buttons at one time, it can freeze. So, using ye olde Interwebz, I located a few methods to try. Alas, no dice, totally frozen on the screensaver, even with the […]

This is about as silly, much less to say scared *hitless, spineless, all the normal words for these dhimmis It’s not all that surprising that Yale University Press would be wary of reprinting notoriously controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a forthcoming book.

Looks like when it comes to reading books, Bush is the Master, and Obama is the Padawan. Bush=Captain, Obama=deckhand It appears President Obama has to step up his reading pace if he wants to beat his predecessor in one particular measure: how many books a president can polish off a year.

There are Bibles for everyone from toddlers to teenage girls to recovering addicts. There are even Bibles on disc, narrated by James Earl Jones and […]

Got your attention, I reckon’ After more than an hour of debate, the Central Linn School Board found itself split on a motion to remove the divisive “Book of Bunny Suicides” from library shelves.

Had the person been an anti-Bush, McCain, or conservative author, do you think the headline would have been similar to Anti-Barack Obama author detained while promoting his book in Kenya? Jerome Corsi, the author of a controversial book attacking Barack Obama, has been detained in Kenya and is expected to be deported, The Times’ Nairobi […]

Obviously, quite a bit has been made of Jerome Corsi’s book “Obama Nation.” (Which also happens to be kicking the crap out of Nancy Pelosi’s book). Or, should I say, much has been made of Jerome Corsi. John Henkebreaks down who Corsi is, including Jerome Corsi is a smear artist(e.g., he has claimed that “Hillary […]

I’m not really one for doing reviews, particularly book reviews. Typically, I will dive into a new book before I can even get around to writing a review, but, I have found the new book by Harry Turtledove, The Man With The Iron Heart, rather interesting.
