Book Review: What The (Bleep) Just Happened?

While on my little twenty-six hour unplanned trip to Chicago to take care of some business, I filled the waiting hours and flight time with Monica Crowley's What The (Bleep) Just Happened? .

This book will infuriate the more deep ceded socialists, fascists, "progressives", and liberals. Blue Dog Democrats may find themselves cheering with some of Ms. Crowley's diction and rhetoric while nodding in assent at some of her indictments.

Monica's book chronicles the first three years of Obama's administration. This book is an indictment. Ms. Crowley juxtaposes Obama's promises with his actions. She sits Obama in front of the floodlight and interrogates him through this book. Armed with the facts from Obama's constant self contradiction and blatant anti American actions, Ms. Crowley executes this questioning utilizing both indisputable evidence and a challenge to Obama's narcissistic ego.

Her catchphrase from the book "What the @#$& just happened?" will leave your average Constitutional Moderate, Libertarian or Conservative Republican feeling like a teenager at their first college frat party.

This book is a must read prior to Election Day this November.

Book Review: The Amateur

During the course of my relocation to "places not Arizona", I read a great book entitled The Amateur by Edward Klein. The book grants an honest profile of Barack Obama, his closest advisers, his staff, his inner circle supporters, and his chief bureaucrats also known as "Czars". If you do an internet search on Mr. Klein, you will find numerous interviews. In many of them, he not only talks about some parts of the expose, he expounds upon information not included in the book.

The book delves deep into Obama's failures. It demonstrates not only his inexperience, but that of some key individuals. The book explores, in depth, the relationship between Valarie Jarrett and the Obamas, showing exactly how much she assumes the role of puppet master despite her complete lack of knowledge and experience on the majority of subjects she advises.

The book also contains information from interviews with other prominent liberals and so called blue dog democrats. When even the more extreme socialists refer to Obama by the book's title, all voting age Americans need to heed the warning.

Regardless which side of the aisle your political ideology may reside, this book is a must read before Election Day in November.

Victor Airlines Creates Furs Class

UK based Victor Airline now allows for the family dog to fly in their own seat in the cabin.

The private charter jet company is calling the option "Furs Class".

Seats cost about a thousand dollars a piece, but it's the only way to fly the dog across the ocean, without sending them with the freight.

New Belgium Beer Under Threat

Better enjoy those remaining New Belgium beers.

The brewery is currently on emergency reserves of purified water.

Normally they use purified water from the Poudre River, however the High Park Fire has contaminated the river beyond the ability of filters to completely purify.

Fort Collins, Colorado is warning the company that their time using the reserve, is coming to an end.

New Belgium is trying to figure out a way to avoid being forced to use the Poudre water, which they say would ruin their flavor, if not be totally undrinkable.

Hookah Not Better Than Regular Tobacco

According to a recent study released by the Mashhad University of Medical Science, in Iran, and confirmed by the Israel Cancer Association shows that hookah may not be healthier than regular smoking.

In fact, it may actually be worse.

To start with, the tobacco used for hookah, is watered with sewage water, which contains human waste.

The vapor, which is breathed in, contains arsenic, lead, nicotine, coal tar, and other harmful substances.

Hookah's sweet odor and flavor are actually additives used to disguise the other substances.

Several of the ingredients have been known to cause mutations in lab animals, not to mention cancer and other health issues.

As a result, Israel has already increased taxes on hookah tobacco to be even with that of regular tobacco.

South African Miners Charged With Murder in Police Shooting

Two weeks after thirty-four striking miners were killed when police opened fire, some of their comrades are being charged with the deaths.

The miner's strike went violent, and police in self defense shot into the mob, which had previously killed other officers, and attacked miners that attempted to work.

After the massacre, two hundred and seventy miners were arrested and they now face the charge of murder.

Under South African law, they are being tried under "common purpose", which allows for suspects who were with those who died during an incident with police to be charged for their deaths, no matter who shot who.

At this time, no police are being charged, as the incident is still under investigation.

Echo Mountain Has a New Owner

Echo Mountain ski area has finally been sold, but things will be changing a lot there.

The mountain will still be open to the general public, but focus will be growing all the more on training for alpine racing.

World Cup skiers such as Sarah Schleper-Gaxiola, Petter Brenna, Patrik Järbyn, and Mike Farny have already been lined up as coaches.

The Colorado mountain already has a history of being a place where skiers would train, but it has also been successfully focusing on gaining more and more regular skiers.

Nora Pykkonen, the new owner, plans to have it opened in November.
