$30 Million Worth of Maple Syrup Stolen

Thirty million dollars worth of maple syrup was stolen from a warehouse in St-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.

The facility is part of Canada's strategic reserve of the syrup, and had held 3.4 million liters of it.

An inventory check, by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, showed that the syrup was missing.

Officials are not saying exactly how much was taken, just what it was worth.

The warehouse, when full, contains about a quarter of the strategic reserve.

Maple syrup reserves are insured, so there will be no financial loss, but the news has caused some to stock up on extra quantities.

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.
