MORE DOLLAR TREE BOOKS

The Dollar Tree is the place for good books for only a dollar.Someday,I will mourn the lost of getting these gems at the Tree.So I am reading them while I can.All four of these books are great or interesting reads.


An Act Of State-The Execution Of Martin Luther King,by William F.Scott : I would have thought this book to be a far fetched,want to believe,government conspiracy nut job except for the fact that it is endorsed by all those close to MLK-His family,His Library,former high up govt officials and major newspapers.


A Durable Peace-Israel And Its Place Among The Nations,by Benjamin Netanyahu :This book is just as relevant today after 9/11 as it was when it was published in the year 2000.Sure,it takes a pro-Israeli stand(Duh),but it is very hard to refute its step by step,argument by argument case for itself.I have always been pro-Israel(except for the ghetto and a few other minor things),but this book makes  damn good sense why Israel has a right to exist.Obama should read this before he starts spouting off about things.


I Is For Infidel-From Holy War To Holy Terror:18 Years Inside Afghanistan,by Kathy Gannon : Sort of a companion piece to the above book.No,not everything is black and white.Not all things have easy answers or can or should be easily labeled.Cause and effect.Missed chances.Greed.Manipulation.Hatred & bitterness.Oh,a tangled web.Another good read.


Rhett Butler's People,by Donald McCaig : This is the authorized novel (I hear there's another one out there somewhere) based on Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind.This ain't 'War & Peace',but then neither was 'War & Peace'.This is better then good pulp fiction:this is good fiction.When you are reading multiple books sometimes you find yourself trudging through all of them,until,sometimes,one picks you up and you can't put it down.That is this book.Of course I could only see Rhett Butler as Clark Gable and Scarlett as Vivien Leigh.But I fell in love with Rhett-the man.He was the man.Donald McCaig had Rhett down to a tee.His speech and mannerisms were perfect.Also,Mr.McCaig's portrayal of the south was totally right on...I even learned a thing or three.One good read.'Nuff said.

In honor of the 'rapture' not happening,here's ,'Rapture',by Blondie:


Gotta love a song that mentions Subarus:-)

Obama's Israel Lunacy

Watch this video filmed November 2nd,2007.At 6:10 into it,soon to be assassinated former Prime Minister of Pakistan,Benazir Bhutto,while being interviewed by David Frost,talks about Osama Bin Laden as already being dead.This opens up a whole can of worms about President Obama which I only get into to question why he is doing what he is doing.


Because asking Israel to go back to it's pre-Six Day War borders is sheer lunacy.


Before I go any further,because I can't stand it anymore,lets call Palestine by it's real name:The country of Israel.Why Israel is being called Palestine is beyond me.Oh,that's right,so Arabs that are living in Israel can claim it as their homeland.


Well,there is part of 'Palestine' that Arabs can go to to live that is controlled by Arabs...it's called Lebanon.If living in a free Jewish state is too much for the Arab Palestinian,he can still stay in his/her homeland,just move to Lebanon.


Why do I say this so harshly?Because the land was won in a war!And the war-both sides claim it to be a preemptive war-was won by the Israelis(land,by the way,that was not only used to attack Israel over and over again,but was mandated to the Israel cause by the League Of Nations).


Should The United States give all of the native American lands back?How many victors settle on the loser's terms?


Does anyone,anywhere actually believe that the Israelites giving up any amount of land will appease the Palestinian Arab?


But here is the rub of all rubs...president Obama says if the Israelis want peace that they should give back the the pre-Six Day War land.


Is that a veiled threat?Is that a terroristic threat of war unless the Arab Palestinian gets his way?Isn't that what al-Qaida always threatens The United States with?


Does it all come down to give them what they want or I promise you there will be a war?


Sounds like our president is on the wrong side of this one.Advocating peaceful protests in the middle east is one thing...especially from a president into three Arab wars...but threatening our allies with the threat of war if they don't comply is quite another.


It is sheer lunacy.

Obama /Bin Laden Questions

First off,I am a big President Obama fan.I think he has done wonders for this country.I am proud to call him my president.Second,I am glad Osama bin Laden is dead.

But,I have a question surrounding bin Laden's death that no one else seems to be asking.If President Obama and his staff were watching the Osama raid 'live',how is it that they at first released over~exaggerated amount of resistance news reports to the media?

Why report that the black ops team was in a massive gun fight when they only came across a couple holding hands.Why state Osama bin Laden fought back with weapons when he was unarmed,with his wife,in their bedroom?

Why go through the Pat Tillman type subterfuge when the whole White House staff saw:in real time((!)) that this did not happen?

And why has no one else asked this serious question?

I would like to wish a happy Mother's day to all you Moms out there(I miss you,Mom).I give a special praise to all Mother's that-like Mary,the mother of Jesus-have lost a child.No one can know your grief because no one can know the vast amount of love that a mother can have for their child.

I raise my heart,my love and my glass to you:Happy Mother's Day

Flaw In Wal*Mart Low Price Guarantee

 While Mother's Day shopping for a bicycle for the cute girl,Robyn and I found out this little bit of information.It appears Walmart's low price guarantee does not apply to the online version of itself. If you find an item cheaper online at Walmart,they do not have to honor that lower price at the store.While wiley Robyn bullied the manager into giving her the online price,we were assured,getting said lower price was not the Walmart company practice. 

I hate guarantee's filled with 'Viagra' commercial type small print warnings and exclusions.Here's hoping Walmart sees this flaw and fixes it so that their stores even honor their own lower on line prices
