The 2008 U.S. presidential election was an extreme example of the bias that exists in the mainstream media. Bernard (Bernie) Goldberg exposes the statistics in his book A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media Goldberg has a very easy to read writing [...]
What I loved about this book is its’ title. Fleeced. Everywhere in the book where the word “fleeced” appears, you could swap in the words “officially screwed”. The content is actually pretty good too. It addresses several topics and how the American governments (both Republican and Democrat) are fleecing the tax payers. Morris covers several [...]
Inspired by Thomas Paine’s pamplet from 1776, Glenn Beck has taken libertarianism to the masses with this inexpensive paperback that is meant to kickstart a non-violent revolution against big government, just as Paine’s original kickstarted the American revolution. The book is fairly easy to get through and for those who watch Beck’s TV program or [...]
Paul Wells’ first book was an especially good read for someone like me who was a political junkie at my worst during the past two elections. This book, Right Side Up: The Fall of Paul Martin and the Rise of Stephen Harper’s New Conservativism was a good read for filling in all the little details [...]

I just finished Stephen Harper and the Future of Canada by William Johnson and I must say it was quite enlightening. I was one of those right leaning Canadians who had misunderstood the politics around the formation of the Reform Party and the evolution to the Canadian Alliance. I was also one of those right [...]
As many know, you need to take Ann Coulter with a bit of salt, but not too much. She definately does her research and footnotes her information very well. What I found really informative in Godless is Coulter’s view of the American education system and the mythconceptions many have about teachers. Considering there is now [...]
For those who have enjoyed the trials and tribulations of M.E. Kay Scarpetta and her friends, this book will be a nice treat. This one is actually not the latest considering a new one was just released (but my book reading list has been long). Predator takes you back and forth from the warm citrus [...]
The Da Vinci Code By Dan Brown By now, half the freaking world knows about this book/movie. I just hope half the world feels about it the way I, and Opus Dei, do. It truly sucked. I found myself painfully forcing my way through it each time I sat down to lay some cable. Dan [...]
