Current Reading List – Feb 2012

It has been a good many years since I have posted about my current reading list, so I thought it was about time to fire off another one. These are the books started, completed, being read or on my short-list to start (or in one case re-read) in the month of February.

Requiem for a Radical – the Left Life of Fey Stender

Sleep did not come easy last night, so I decided to crack open my new book “Destruction Generation – Second thoughts about the 60′s“.

Having grown up in the Bay Area (California, for those few East coasters that think they matter) during the 60′s and 70′s the topic of the first books chapter was [...]

New book just arrived! “Destructive Generation – Second thoughts about the 60′s”

Fantastic! Book just arrived from Amazon. “Destructive Generation” by Peter Collier and David Horowitz.

This looks like an interesting read, based on the following reviews:

From Amazon: As far as I know, this is a unique book. It is an important document for those who want to understand the politics of the Sixties and what [...]

TV: Californication – Season 1

Californication. I laughed. I cried.

After signing up for NETFLIX digital delivery to my XBOX, I started looking for interesting things to watch, because broadcast TV is totally devoid of worthwhile content, in my opinion.

Recalling that one of the guys in the Porsche club mentioned the show, well, primarily because the main character [...]

Corporation or LLC – that is the question.

I’ve always been one that is not at all comfortable relying upon a single source of financial well being. Since the early 80′s in one form or another I’ve owned and operated a business.

Early on I have a little Electronics sales business selling Cell Phones to the well-healed during it’s hayday. It was [...]

Screw the UK and their passivism! This is nausiating!

In a move that is beyond explanation, the UK basically rewards a convicted murderer with a shortened sentence and a trip home to Libya, where he’s treated like a hero!   This is an international travesty on multiple levels.

ObamaNation, a new Manor Farm?

Well, you’ll just have to read George Orwell’s  ‘Animal Farm’ and decide for yourself.

For some reason I was drawn to purchasing the book this week.   As a dutiful reading in elementary school, we read this book, did our reports and moved on to other things.  The picture it painted about corrupt socialism has always [...]

Fear and Sausage

I’m not always a ranting old Conservative, sometimes I kick-back and indulge in the more bizzare and sometimes twisted art that comes out of Hollywood.  Tonight…   it was…   ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas‘.   What in incredibly insane film that is.   Gilliam shot that film just the way you’d have to do it, with odd [...]
