Skip to comments.Panetta talks sequestration with reporters at news conference (Hints At Entitlement Reform)
Posted on 11/13/2012 3:53:14 PM PST by SkyPilot
During a press conference following a wreath laying ceremony at Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta responded to a reporters question regarding the whole issue of sequestration.
"Sequestration" is a fiscal policy procedure adopted by Congress to deal with the federal budget deficit. It first appeared in the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Act of 1985. Simply put, sequestration is the cancellation of budgetary resources - an "automatic" form of spending cutback.
And, you know, as you know from my own history dealing with budget deficits, in order to do it on a fair and effective basis, you have to look at the key areas of the federal budget. The fact is that, you know, we have addressed the discretionary area, weve taken almost a trillion dollars out of discretionary area and out of defense alone, almost a half a trillion dollars just out of defense."
"I think the responsibility now, both Republicans and Democrats, has to be to look at the entitlement area, what savings can be achieved on entitlements and what additional revenues need to be on the table as well. Every budget agreement that I've been a part of has involved entitlement savings, it's involved revenues and it's involved discretionary caps", he added.
And I think those are all the pieces that have to be discussed and put together in ultimately a budget agreement that can not only avoid sequestration, but that can avoid the other problems that we're going to confront on a fiscal cliff, Panetta said
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Panetta: We are willing to cut ten trillion out of the budget over the next century. All we want is two trillion out of the military budget over the next three years.
Boehner: Sounds reasonable. Give me a minute, I'm tearing up. I never thought we could be so bipartisan.
"Entitlements" is money given to people who did not earn it. That would not be social security and medicare becausethe people who get that benefit paid into it their who working lives and planned on it for retirement. The other plan of liberals (they held hearings on this) would is to grab everyone's retirement funds to fund a new entitlement of retirement to replace the SS and medicare money the government stole from retirees. That is the plan of Obama.
Why? Because it's whitey money. His entitlement voters are not middle class whites who contributed to SS and medicare and who save money for retirement. It's racial and generational based wealth transfer. Don't cheer him on. It's racist and ageist theft in the name of balancing the budget.
Barring a videotape of Bath House Barry getting oral sex from Reggie Love in under the desk in the office of Air Force One while Obama talks on speaker phone to Congressional Democrats and laughs about how they electronically destroyed Romney votes while manufacturing their own - Republicans are screwed. They have no momentum, no mandate, they don't control the White House, they don't control the DoD, they don't control the Justice Dept, the FBI, the CIA, the Senate, and the media are 97% against them. Oh, and since Judas Roberts is afraid of his....ahem...."alternate" lifestyle being exposed (or whatever else they have on him), we have lost the Supreme Court also.
So here we are.
On the edge of the Fiscal Cliff.
If Sequestration takes place and the Bush tax cuts expire, the economy will go into a worse Depression than we are in now (and trust me, this is a Depression). Obama and the Democrats have only been able to mask this Depression by borrowing and spending 7 Trillion Dollars in four years.
Conservative estimates are that 2 million direct jobs will be lost with Sequestration, with more after that as the economy goes into a tailspin. The tax revenues will go down despite the tax raises, entitlement spending will go up even more logarithmically, and we probably won't crawl out of it for years. And, oh yeah, our military will become absolutely hollow almost overnight. Let's pray one of those "war thingies" doesn't happen. All we are saying, is give peace a chance.
I for one don't believe there will be any deal, and Sequestration will happen anyways. It will become everyone's poison to drink at that point. Why? Because I have never seen our government at any level behave responsibly in the last 5 years. At every turn, they have done the wrong thing.
Some people argue "Let sequestration happen! Burn it all down! Better sooner than later!" They don't really realize that we still have a chance to save the country if (and ONLY if) entitlements are drastically reformed.
Maybe I will be surprised. Maybe Obama will double cross the media, the liberals, the unions, the illegals, and the rest of the godless rabble. That would be sweet revenge to see them twist their hair out.
In any case, if Sequestration happens, the economy will behave like an ice skater doing a twirl and bringing her arms in. Faster, and faster......
Sadly, you are absolutely correct.
If Social Security had not been raided under Johnson, and if SSDI was a separate program, then Social Security would be solvent for the next 50 years.
If Sequestration goes through and the tax cuts expire in the "fiscal cliff" that everyone keeps talking about, then your SS and Medicare is in great jeopardy. That's just the way it is.
And THAT is what Obama must soon face.
Yes, but then Obama and the Leftists in the United States are outed for the dumb asses they are.
Can you imagine the gains in 2014, if we sink back into a recession or worse?
BTW: I think we have been in a depression. I don't agree the recession was over. We just quit counting people.
We know there are 23 million out of work, and tens of millions more earning 50 to 75% of what they were five to ten years ago.
I call that a depression.
I think we're at a low point, but the pendulum is going to swing the other way soon.
We both know this can't go on, and we are a very resilient nation. I'm not seeking to downplay our situation, because I am angry about it. I just think we're going to shock the world when we get back on the right track.
The bright side is, Socialism will have been given a chance in the U. S. It will have failed miserably. That will be the end of that.
I hope it works out this way.
I'd prefer that the Republicans just let this thing crash. Of course Boehner won't, but that's what I'd prefer. All we can do for the next 4 years is "Go Galt" and minimize work and taxes, so we don't feed the monster.
how does the saying go? "We deserve the government we vote for"
Sue the law makers they are the ones who robbed SS
If Repugs delete SS and Medicare "entitlements" w/o cutting education, welfare, EBT's, EPA, DHS, etc., they won't have a party left.
It's a plan to gouge and harm whites - Repug voters - and transfer their benefits to the hipsters and minorities for entitlements for them. It will be spent on Obamacare.
In other words, the overspending won't stop because entitlements will be expanded for Dem voters.
It's a screw job on older whites who don't vote for Dems but do for Republicans.
I have a question. Do these people who have been on food stamps and welfare all their lives get SS when they get 65? And Medicare?
I bet it will be means testing for SS and Medicare cost sharing for those they deem can afford it.
I bet it will be means testing for SS and Medicare cost sharing for those they deem can afford it.
To get SS you have to have a certain amount of working years--I think it's 40 quarters, or ten years--over your lifetime. Your benefits depend on how much you earned.
So, I doubt they get SS. I suppose they would get some sort of welfare, continued food stamps, and continued Medicaid.
"Yes, but then Obama and the Leftists in the United States are outed for the dumb asses they are."
No, unfortunately he will blame the GOP controlled House and it will stick in the public's eyes. Does anyone realistically think the ghetto voter that helped Obama get reelected cares about the economy? That individual has NO intention of getting employment even if jobs are plentiful. They simply want their government checks and nothing else.
You make sense as far as your logic goes.
You do realize that it wasn't the ghetto folks who put this prick back in the White House though right?
Middle class idiots jumped right back in with both feet.
There are enough decent middle-class people in this nation to prevent this guy from being re-elected. Some of them still bought off on this guy being their hero.
Many people in this nation sold themselves out.
We had the ex-military. I can't believe they would not see this guy for what he is. We should have had the middle-class whites.
I do think we had people who were sick of voting for RINOs, and didn't vote for either guy.
It hurts, but it is what it is.
If the RNC ever allows us to have a Conservative candidate again, we may just win a presidential election. Until then, they are actually our biggest enemy.
Under Bush & Congress the Deficit increased 43% in 8 years. Under Obama & Congress the Deficity doubled that of Bush's (86%) in 4 years. If you want to fix the probem, we need to find out "what" caused this increase and address that. Not too much has really changed under Bush vs. Obama. In fact under Bush we had 9/11, a "real" war (with bombs dropped), and a hurricance that cost much more than Sandy. Sandy doesn't even account for the 86% increase. What did Obama and Congress spend it on? They need to look that First in order to address their fiscal problems.

"Federal entitlements are driving this spending growth, having increased from less than half of total federal outlays just 20 years ago to nearly 62 percent in 2012. Three major programsMedicare, Medicaid, and Social Securitydominate in size and growth, soaking up about 44 percent of the budget. All three programs are growing faster than inflation, andwhen joined with $1.7 trillion in new Obamacare spendingwill drain about 18.5 percent of the nations total economic output by mid-century. Because that is about the historical annual average of total federal tax revenue, it means all other government programsnational defense, veterans health care, transportation, federal law enforcement, and otherswould effectively have to be financed on borrowed money.
Other entitlements continue growing as well. Anti-poverty programs have surged by 49 percent in just the past decade, even after adjusting for inflation. Spending for food stamps alone has more than tripled since 2002. Health programs, including Medicaid, have increased by 38 percent, and housing assistance by 48 percent. Although these entitlement programs have dominated the governments spending growth, discretionary spendingspending authorized by annual appropriations billsalso has grown by 40 percent more than inflation, to $1.289 trillion. Spending on non-defense programs has grown 29 percent. These outlays peaked in 2010 due to the stimulus bill, but remain 7 percent higher than their pre-stimulus level of 2008.
Bear this in mind: Defense spending is the only major discretionary program that has been cut (by Billions) in the last few years. Defense spending is also at a near historic low in percentage of GNP. It is also one of the few programs actually mandated by the Constitution.
When most people retire, they stop receiving their salaries and begin SS, which is much less than their salary was.
Without my savings plan, investments, retirement from my job, and SS, I'd have to take a cut at 65.
But, those who have been on welfare and haven't worked, have no reduction in benefits at 65. What a country!!
Unfortunately, that TOO would be SS and Medicaid. The amount paid out greatly exceeds that paid in (even with the measly 1% return rate).
Again, we're debating using the other teams rules and verbiage.
We should be screaming about privatization (own it, cash it out, pass it on after death) vs. a government 'promise' that doesn't amount to a hill of beans (especially if one dies before claiming cent 1)
We should be screaming NO re: means testing. How would I know, at 15, if I'd be rich or not at 65? But, if I AM, you keep all the $$ I put in??
Thank you.
raise the taxes on the rich and then do nothing else....squeal about it...make a lot of faces...warn that its not enough but the rats won't allow it....
but the pubs should not be the ones cutting anything...if we have any hope for Congress and the Senate in two years...
I always get a laugh at some groups "demanding" jobs....these people wouldn't work no matter what...some people are just lazy....
my sil has been on SS TWICE...once for tweaking her neck and she was able to stay home for the entire time her kids were young and then she got a puffy job and worked a little here and there....
she fell off her ladder a short distance and from that episode she got back on SS diability for good...her and her good for nothing husband BOTH on ss disability ...its been a fun game for them....

The entitlements that Leon Panetta (Secretary of Defense) is hinting at are military retirement packages and long term medical costs. They're looking to entirely phase out the old system and put the military on a 401k style plan.
Young people can work very hard as a single parent to make 45k in an honorable respectable position in a high tax state and next door may be a couple scamming the system, not working, and pulling in 60k between them. And when they are in danger constantly of loosing their job we wonder why the "safety net" government seems so appealing.
It isn't envy of the scammers, but it is recognition that the wolf could be at their door from job downsizing or from health issues and this government that we have let grow into the Nanny may be their only fall back.
Liberal Lexicon:
Man living as an adult baby is cleared of Social Security fraud
Doesn't that "just" accelerate retirement? I had a friend who got a fatal cancer when he was about 60 and considered magic disability SS. He said it would just bump him up to his full SS amount that he would have earned as if he were 66.
It's a sweet deal for your SIL, but the amount she gets--even at the younger age--is still determined by her work history and SS contributions, I think? Is that the case?
What about the other 49.5% of us?
I am guessing they consider us over ruled and we dont matter.

Two species lived in peaceful coexistence on the planet Demoth until a deadly plague wiped out millions of the winged Ooloms while leaving humans untouched, helpless to do more than ease the suffering of their alien friends and neighbors. Faye Smallwood saw the horror firsthand, caring for the plague victims in her fahter's hospital. She was there when he discovered the cure that made him famous. She was also there when a freak accident killed him.
Desperate to escape her past, Faye joins the Vigil, a band of fiercely independent monitors charged with rooting out government corruption. To help in this struggle, her mind is linked to the powerful datasphere that regulates the planet...and suddenly, she receives a cryptic vision promising peace and healing. Instead, Faye becomes the target of unknown assassins in a sinister conspiracy that threatens to unleash a new and more deadly outbreak.
For humans and Ooloms were not the first species to inhabit Demoth. Somewhere in the ruins of long-abandoned settlements, something was left behind: an alien technology of unimaginable potential to build - or destroy. Enemy agents will stop at nothing to find it. Some of Faye's own people will kill to uncover its secret. With no one else to trust, she turns to the one person who can help unravel the mystery: Festina Ramos - explorer, outcast, ever-vigilant champion of those whom society deems expendable.

1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
It's been 2 years since the events of the previous book.
The book has a very slow beginning about 1/4 of it is just informational story line about new acting scene, it was so boring that I almost dropped it, but gradually it picked up the pace, and yet it was completely different from the first book.
The story is kinda science fiction conspiracy detective with completely new set of characters, and even those that are familiar to us have a completely different feel to them.
I'm not sure if I will buy the next book.
"great book!"
I love this book and well worth the wait to the end!! so amazing!! yep

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Across the Pacific during the island-hopping campaigns of World War II, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said that "uncommon valor was a common virtue," among the Marines who were storming the beaches occupied by deeply entrenched forces of the Empire of Japan.
Nowhere was this sentiment more clearly demonstrated than on the beaches of Iwo Jima by long-time Castle Valley resident Don Allred. His valor was formally recognized on Feb. 9 by a contingency of Marine officers who bestowed the Parkdale resident with a Purple Heart nearly 70 years after Allred's service on the field of battle concluded.
According to American Legion Post 73 Commander Ray Quinn, Allred was on the beaches of Iwo Jima as United States forces were fighting through a dense network of bunkers and hidden artillery positions on the small island.
"His company was surrounded by enemy forces," explained Quinn, detailing the actions which would lead to Allred's Purple Heart. "They had ran out of ammunition and needed someone to retrieve additional firepower. Well, Allred was noted to be a fast runner and he weaved his way back through enemy fire to the munitions dump, picked up all the ammo he could carry and faced enemy fire again to get back to his company."
Quinn reported that Allred was injured during his trek through enemy fire but continued on his course and was able to provide the fire power needed to let his company fight their way to safety.
"Because of men like Don, the Marines were victorious," continued Quinn. "His actions are the actions of a real hero."
During the ceremony at Parkdale Health and Rehab, Allred was honored by several past and present military officers. The event culminated as he was pinned with his own Purple Heart.
Military personnel participating in the ceremony were Major General Jefferson S. Burton, Adjutant General of the State of Utah, Blake Jones, the event's guest of honor, Commander Quinn and several other state military officials.
"We are so grateful to have a man like Don Allred to be able to recognize," said Burton, who spoke before the award was given. "We only regret that it took so long to get it to you. This is an American hero right here."
According to Burton, the intensity of the combat on Iwo Jima has never been surpassed and Allred's actions during such vicious warfare are simply incredible.
"The ancient Spartans in Greece had a metaphor that they used for the way that they protected their citizens," said Burton, describing the honor shown by Allred's actions. "They said, this is my shield but it is not mine alone. It protects my brother on my left, it protects my city. I will die with my shield facing the enemy. In a very real sense, Don was a shield for our country and our citizens. He put his body between us and a very intense enemy. We are very proud of him and the fact that he was able to come home and raise such a beautiful family."
In addition to his service on Iwo Jima, Allred was also part of the contingency which took Guam back from Japanese forces. He was drafted into the Marines at the age of 18 and achieved the position of number one machine gunner within his company as the battle of Iwo Jima began.
The Purple Heart is United States military decoration awarded to those who have been wounded or killed while serving on or after April 5, 1917. Rather than being recommended for the honor as is the case with many military awards, Purple Hearts are only given to those who meet specific and rigid criteria.
Even though Allred's injuries were serious and caused him to suffer major hearing loss due to a severe concussion, the Emery County native was able to create a wonderful life and a large family upon his return to the states.
"My brother was meticulous in everything he did," explained Allred's sister Edyth Wakefield. "He wanted to be top notch in all his endeavors and he usually succeeded. He was a great ball player when we were young. He was a great coal miner. Even with farming he was able to make great things happen. He always gave his full effort."
According to his family and friends, Allred is a strong believer in everything unions stand for and is a member of the United Mine Workers of America to this day. In addition to working in the mines, he spent time with several oil companies in the Dakotas and worked his own farm land in Cleveland Township in Emery County following the war.

Pretty good
"Overall, I'm satisfied with this shoe. They are extremely comfortable for the height and have nice sole cushioning. As with any shoe a little "breaking in" is needed, so there are some spots where they are a bit stiff and rub on my foot. Otherwise, they are cute and comfy!"

How Different are Young Adults from Older Adults When it Comes to Information Privacy Attitudes and Policies?

Media reports teem with stories of young people posting salacious photos online, writing about alcohol-fueled misdeeds on social networking sites, and publicizing other ill-considered escapades that may haunt them in the future. These anecdotes are interpreted as representing a generation-wide shift in attitude toward information privacy. Many commentators therefore claim that young people "are less concerned with maintaining privacy than older people are." Surprisingly, though, few empirical investigations have explored the privacy attitudes of young adults. This report is among the first quantitative studies evaluating young adults' attitudes. It demonstrates that the picture is more nuanced than portrayed in the popular media.
In this telephonic (wireline and wireless) survey of internet using Americans (N=1000), we found that large percentages of young adults (those 18-24 years) are in harmony with older Americans regarding concerns about online privacy, norms, and policy suggestions. In several cases, there are no statistically significant differences between young adults and older age categories on these topics. Where there were differences, over half of the young adult-respondents did answer in the direction of older adults. There clearly is social significance in that large numbers of young adults agree with older Americans on issues of information privacy.
A gap in privacy knowledge provides one explanation for the apparent license with which the young behave online. 42 percent of young Americans answered all of our five online privacy questions incorrectly. 88 percent answered only two or fewer correctly. The problem is even more pronounced when presented with offline privacy issues – post hoc analysis showed that young Americans were more likely to answer no questions correctly than any other age group.
We conclude then that that young-adult Americans have an aspiration for increased privacy even while they participate in an online reality that is optimized to increase their revelation of personal data.

EAST CARBON / OREM- Allis Crittenden Stephens passed away Aug. 29, 2009.
She was born right before Christmas, Dec. 18, 1917 in the freezing cold mountain valley of Hoytsville, Utah to Irwin Crittenden and Florence Elizabeth Brown. The home where she was born was built of bricks which had been hand made by her grandfather Crittenden. Hoytsville was a tight knit community where nearly everyone was related in one way or another. Her father was the Bishop and served in that capacity for nearly 30 years. Allis was the baby of the family and was smothered with love from her parents and two older sisters.
After graduation from North Summit High School, Allis attended Utah State. Back then, it was a "Normal School". She earned her teaching certificate in two years and began teaching elementary school in Upton, Utah. She taught in a one room school house, grades one through four. There were only 16 students and two teachers.
Eventually Allis moved to Salt Lake City, continued to teach school, and also continued her own education. She earned her bachelors degree in education from Utah State in 1947.
The year 1947 was a lucky year for Allis. She met a handsome young man, Larry Stephens, who swept her off her feet. On their first date, he took her for a ride in his airplane and "wrung her out". That's pilot talk for doing lots of aerial acrobatics. Allis loved the adventure and Larry decided that her bravery was validation enough that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. They dated through 1947 and were married on her birthday, Dec. 18, 1947, in the Salt Lake Temple.
Allis and Larry made their first home in East Carbon, Utah, then a bustling coal mining community. Allis easily found a job in the school there. They settled in, made life-long friends, and raised their four children; Karol, Ruth, Larry, and Kristine. Soon both Allis and Larry were in the school system; Allis as a teacher, and Larry as a teacher and then a principal. All together, Allis taught elementary school for 42 years. She taught at Upton, Coalville, Wanship, Salt Lake City, Dragerton, Sunnyside, and Price. She was recognized as "Teacher of the Year" twice during her career.
Upon her retirement, Larry and Allis moved to Orem, Utah to be closer to their temple assignment. Allis worked in the Provo and Mt. Timpanogas Temples for nearly 25 years, just being released January 2008.
Allis had some interesting loves: social events, candy making, eating chocolate of any kind, ice cream, rose colored glasses, the Utah Jazz, shopping, lovely suits, playing the organ, the color mauve, and growing flowers...especially roses. She loved her neighborhoods and her neighbors and lived her life in gratitude.
Allis is survived by her children: Karol Walker, Ruth (Randy) Bunker, Larry (Kelle) Stephens, Kristine (Bryan) Morley; 20 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by parents, sisters Ruth (Melvin) Anderson and Leone (Robert) Rippon; sweetheart Lawrence William Stephens; son-in-law Franklin Reese Walker; grandchildren Laralyn Walker, and Stephen Rand Bunker.
Funeral services are under the direction of Berg Mortuary. Viewing will be held Sept. 4, 2009 from 6-8 p.m. at Berg's 185 East Center Street, Provo and prior to the service from 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009 at the Sharon Park Third Ward Chapel, 225 East 200 North, Orem, Utah. Service will begin at 11 a.m. with internment at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 South State Street, Provo, Utah. Please honor the memory of Allis and her lifelong devotion to education by making a contribution to the Perpetual Education Fund. www.lds.org/pef.

Lujan hosting town halls

Seeing it through
April 09 2009 01:20PM
Ah the Oilers. Only one team in the known universe could inspire such a diverse cornucopia of emoticons amongst its devout following. Take our boy Max for example. He sent us the video above a few days ago when we still had positivity coursing through our veins. What inspires a perfectly normal person to imitate a crazed Britney Spears fan through a tribute video? The damned Oilers that's what. This video is easily the most hilarious thing we have seen all year about the damned team. If you haven't seen the original look up "leave Britney alone on YouTube." If you don't know who Britney is, you must be lost. The PBS website can be found here.
Anywhoo, this is our second offseason with our beloved OilersNation in existence. Last season we expected traffic to fall right off once the Shitanusly mediocre-turned-house-on-fire Oilers came up charmingly short in their post season run. Instead traffic kept growing so we kept writing. Brownlee did too and lo and behold if we didn't grow by a factor of 5 over the offseason. It was the damndest thing.
What did we talk about all summer? Pretty much what we do during the season. We bitched and moaned and made fun of stuff that was 3.5% hockey related. You know, what we have all come to love about this site. We started though by ragging on all the other teams throughout the playoffs and discussing how the Oilers would totally have been able to win this or that particular game. It was some of our favorite times in the first year of operation. We also made predictions and heartily congratulated ourselves when they turned out correct which was basically all the time.
Yep, when you rely on the local hockey squadron for entertainment and they systematically fail you at every turn you have to make like pioneers and make your own fun. Think that the first settlers had YouTube? Hardly. They had to make do with a mere 50 cable channels in the late 1890s, including a non HD version of the History channel that was simply named "Now."
Here at OilersNation Central Command we had detailed plans for this site when the Oilers made the playoffs. We are going to put these on the shelf and not tell all of our secrets in the hope that next year we can roll out all this awesome stuff we have had a very small hand in building.
Now we have to show you a couple things though because we have had a good many people helping us out the past few weeks and their creations need to see the light of day.
Make your own fun #1
Check off item #89 in the Wanye Bucket List™.
- #88 Nail an Olsen Twin
- #89 Build a hockey draft with awesome prizes
- #90 Nail the other Olsen Twin
While the rest of you were sitting around contracting STDs and playing "guitar heroes" and having the time of your lives at one of our dozens of local watering holes, we have been hard at work in an underground laboratory with a team of OilersNation Scienticians™ building nationdrafts.com. No sunlight, no booze, no girls and breaks only every 4 hours to play a quick game of Dungeons and Dragons. We had originally thought the Oilers would be on this list of playoff bound players and that we could add in mad prizes for Oilers playoff scoring. Hudsons thought this was a fantastic idea too and we were both ultra disappointed when the Oilers had to be removed from the different check boxes.
Hudsons: "So the Oilers aren't going to make it." Wanye: "Yeah, yeah. *hangs head*" Hudsons: "We're still down to give away $2,000 in gift certificates if you still want the draft, Wanye." Wanye: "Really? *imagines a table of girls with $2,000 worth of gift certificates and undying love for something called a Wanye."
So the team assembled and did it anyways launching nationdrafts.com yesterday morning. You can register in any Hudsons location for the remainder of the week or if you are too lazy, live on a moon base or just like the interwebs better you can sign up on the website. Do you like winning gift certificates to Hudsons? Do you want to enter a draft where your chances of winning are better than the 1/205,504,345 that Yahoo and SportingNews currently offers? Well than sweet tap dancing baby Suri Cruise do we have the draft for you.
Do us a favor and bounce over here and sign up for this draft. Also, if you see large scale programming errors shoot your ol' pal Wanye an email and he will get it fixed. And if you win any of the prizes you can take us for a beer. Then we will get half smashed, leer at the waitresses and tell you our favorite drunk story about the time we saw Rachel McAdams in a bar and drunkenly mistook her for a girl we went to high school with. How good of a story is that? Does your 30+ years of hob-nobbing with celebrities include a story like that Robin Brownlee?
Make your own fun #2
Speaking of launching websites yesterday the internet creation factory also spat out this little beauty. Now before we hear a bunch of BS about how the OilersNation was a plan to secretly convince everyone to pledge oaths of alliance to other teams just remember 3 things:
1. We only like one NHL team: the Edmonton Oilers. If we are playing Xbox against someone and they won't let us be the Oilers we don't play. It's that serious. So before you accuse us of being secret Canucks or Flames fans you had better check yourselves. Because part of making your own fun could include kidnapping lippy haters who accuse us of being secret Canucks fans. So speak carefully and tell all your hippie friends who are Canucks Fans to stop asking you where they can score some "hemp rope" and kindly check out our new site.
2. Our brother lives in Vancouver and he is somehow or other a giant Canucks fan. Every time he calls us he says "when are you going to make a Canucks site??" Sometimes our Grandma will call us and say "you know your brother would love a Canucks site. Can't you and your internet friends make one for him?" Do you know how annoying this has been for the past year and a half? We don't disagree with Grandma on anything. End of story.
3. Well we couldn't think of a third thing. But trust us we have no love for the Canucks or their weird hippie fans.
Now if you will excuse us we are going to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to drink Pilsner until the sun rises and watch the last two games of the year with Saskatchewan Oilers fans. We are one of many jilted Oilers fans who are going to have to hold on through these last two games which couldn't mean more to the Flames and couldn't mean any less to the Oilers. Twitter us if anything awesome happens.
We make our own fun. Thanks for making it so hard Oilers.

Godspeed Wanye!!
I used to always hate when my buddy was Vancouver and I was the mighty Oil playing NHL. Near-fist fights on a game-by-game basis. For some reason I feel like busting out the NHL 93. Joe Murphy #1 Star!
April 09 2009, 11:45AM
I dont know Wanye, when you start to franchise out things go bad. Next thing you know some Mega-corp. will be using your face on buckets of chicken and the only time we'll here about you will be when you are randomly quoted by some nostalgic writer discussing the history of the Oilersnation.
April 09 2009, 12:54PM
@ Rusty Shackleford:
For me it was NHL 98, where Buchberger won the Conn Smythe with 32 goals in the playoffs.
@ Archaeologuy: I don't know Arch, I'm sure we'd here about Wanye when he gets busted for throwing a phone at a bartender in some ritzy 5 star hotel after he laughs at him for ordering a Bud Lite or when he shaves his head and chases Gregor or Brownlee with and umbrella in a drunken rage (like that hasn't already happened).
April 09 2009, 12:56PM
@ shakey:
And for God's sake Wanye, make sure you keep your legs closed when you're getting out of a car!
@ Librarian Mike: Maybe that's the picture they could put on Wanye's bucket of chicken.
What's wrong with dungeons & dragons? :(
Cool playoff pool BTW. My sucking crew of suckers will see you there.
April 09 2009, 01:04PM
@ Librarian Mike: I just loved NHL 93 because Sega was amazing, the crowd cheering/booing was cutting edge, when a vicious hit was unleashed, the UhhHhGGGhHH sound was stunning. Also, you could be down 12-4 and still come back to win 15-13 (that one sweet deke, or just crash the net and it goes in).
Also, Scott Mellanby? Damn straights the Oilers in NHL 93 were a powerhouse.

@ shakey: That would be hilarious. Open legs with the Oilersnation logo hiding his drumstick. Can someone please come up with a catch phrase for Wanye Chicken Inc, besides FMNF.

You have to fund the research somehow right??? I hope you threw the book at that Hamburglar...that guy thinks he is such hot sh*t...i mean a real piece of meat. Sure he has great buns, but that shouldn't give him the opportunity to relish in the defeat of the Fry Guys... besides, he is kinda cheesey.

@ I'm a Scientist!: You know it buddy. I tried telling George Lucas and Harrison Ford that they owe it to Archaeology to fund my ultra cool research, but it turns out they dont accept calls from just anyone.
I actually appeared as a witness for the Hamburglar. I testified that the sesame seeds found on his person were not the result of taking foodstuff from the Fry Guys, but were actually planted there by the Wendy's girl, who was trying to create internal strife within the Ronald McDonald house. Reasonable Doubt, that's what I provide...for a price.
April 09 2009, 03:34PM
@ Archaeologuy: Oh. Geesh, thought I would have read about that fascinating case in the paper.
I will put in a good word to George and Harry this weekend for you. We are having an intergalactic easter egg hunt at George's estate in the hills. I will let you know how it goes...
April 09 2009, 03:46PM
@ I'm a Scientist!: @ Archaeologuy:
Another case screwed up by Officer Big Mac. Hopefully Mayor McCheese realizes how many cases his chief of police is costing him. Such a shame, his record doesn't look very good with the types of Captain Crook & Hamburgler without any consequence.

I've been pwned.
We've actually looked into it, and the internet's out of edit buttons right now. They're getting a new stock in the summertime, though. :P
I know these next 2 games may seem meaningless to some (hopefully not the team that has let me down time and again this season) but not for me, OH NO, not at all. Way back in the summer, the summer of dreams and optimism, i made a bet. A bet about a season series with a certain team, a certain team that we have 2 games left against. Series tied 2 games each. This my nation friends, is MY PLAYOFFS. Defeat, unthinkable, humiliating....I will have to remove my beloved OILERS FLAG and replace it for the playoffs with the unthinkable....so come on boys, please , please win!!!!!

Gregor doesn't have hair. It is a sports website, with a clothing line. You guys rip on him, yet he is the only radio guy with a clothing line. And it seems Identity Clothing is doing fine.
I'm curious why so many of you seem jealous of that guy. Gregor your show cracks me up...The show you guys did on Monday with Ryan Rashog (no idea how to spell his name) was pure gold. Keep up the good work.
Like they say...Don't hate the player...hate the game...

Ventura DUI Checkpoint This Weekend
updated: Feb 13, 2013, 11:12 AM
Source: Ventura Police Department
DUI/Drivers License checkpoint Planned this weekend
The Ventura Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers
License Checkpoint on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at an undisclosed location within the city
limits between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. DUI checkpoints are a proven enforcement
tool effective in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes.
Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-
publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough.
Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or
drug impairment. Officers will also check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists
only momentarily. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and
insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
"Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed 3 lives and resulted in 55
injury crashes harming 82 of our friends and neighbors," said Sgt. Ryan Weeks of the Ventura
Police Department Traffic Unit.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have
provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while
also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Checkpoints are placed in
locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence
and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.
"Deaths from drunk and drug-impaired driving are going down in California," said Christopher
J. Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). "But that still means that
hundreds of our friends, family and co-workers are killed each year, along with tens of thousands
who are seriously injured. We must all continue to work together to bring an end to these
tragedies. If you see a Drunk Driver - Call 9-1-1."
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to The Ventura Police Department by a grant from the
California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
targeting those who still don't heed the message to designate a sober driver.

Scarlets fly-half Stephen Jones kicked a penalty two minutes from full-time to salvage a 9-9 draw with Ospreys on Saturday.
Scarlets fly-half Stephen Jones kicked a penalty two minutes from full-time to salvage a 9-9 draw with Ospreys on Saturday.
A late Jones penalty gave Scarlets a share of the spoils in a tight and tense Welsh derby, in what became a battle of the kickers at the Liberty Stadium.
In a low scoring contest, the home side led until the dying moments of the game, before Jones kept his cool to keep the visitor's recent unbeaten run going with a late placed kick.
The game was very stop-start for the opening quarter of the game. Both sides were cancelling each other out, as neither side looked like making any real breakthroughs early on.
The match did begin to come alive for the remainder of the first period though. Stephen Jones, returning to the Scarlets starting team, was deemed to have spear-tackled an Ospreys man, and he was sent to the sin-bin.
Dan Biggar scored the resulting penalty, the game was now up and running.
The home side had the opportunity to push on from there to make their numerical advantage pay, but they were themselves reduced to fourteen men soon after for hands in the ruck, as the match became a little heated.
The opening period fizzled out to a close, with the crowd hoping for a much livelier second half.
That wasn't to be the case though, as both sides continued to find answers to each other's attacking threat. Stephen Jones levelled the scoring soon after the restart with a penalty, before Dan Biggar hit back for the Ospreys with two quick-fire penalties of his own.
Hard hits were coming in from both teams, but neither could make any pressure tell on the scoreboard, with the game seemingly meandering to a quiet conclusion.
However, with two minutes of normal time remaining, a Stephen Jones penalty for Scarlets earned them a draw, with the Ospreys missing out on their chance to go top of the RaboDirect Pro 12 table.
The scorers:
For Ospreys:
Pens: Biggar 3
For Scarlets:
Pens: Jones 3
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'I, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Joe Bearman, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (capt), 3 Cai Griffiths, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Duncan Jones.

ankle is sooo wide!!!
"these booties are super cute, very comfortable, and fit great! however, the ankle opening is soooooo wide!! i mean, ridiculously wide to the point of just looking silly. i suppose you could wear these with skinny jeans but even so, there is just way too much space in the ankle area. if the openings were thinner and there was a zipper to get them on, they would be great!"

"Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn?t . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.
With exquisite illustrations by acclaimed artist Ana Juan, Fairyland lives up to the sensation it created when the author first posted it online. For readers of all ages who love the charm of Alice in Wonderland and the soul of The Golden Compass, here is a reading experience unto itself: unforgettable, and so very beautiful."

|Official Memphis Website
The 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Memphis was the final work developed by the late theatre producer George W. George. With the concept for a new musical in his head, George sought out Bon Jovi guitarist David Bryan and writer Joe DiPietro to bring his idea to life. Even with a talented creative team, Memphis first ran as a musical at small-scale theaters in Beverly, MA, and Mountain View, CA, during the 2003-2004 season. Following these two productions, the musical was reworked before being brought back to the stage in 2008 and finally got the green light to open on Broadway in 2009.
Memphis opened on Broadway on October 19, 2009, at the Shubert Theatre. The original Broadway cast included a majority of the cast members who had starred in the pre-Broadway productions including Chad Kimball and Montego Glover portraying the roles of Huey Calhoun and Felicia Farrell, respectively. Besides taking home the Tony Award for Best Musical, Memphis also won awards for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. The musical received high praise for its music and critics could not stop raving about the performances of both Kimball and Glover. The Broadway production closed on August 5, 2012, after almost three years, but the national US tour has audiences across the country with Memphis the Musical tickets loving this fresh new hit.
Memphis is the story of the love between a white DJ and black singer in the segregated American south during the 1950s. The story is loosely based on the life of Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips, who was one of the first white DJs to play what at the time was considered to be "black music." The musical centers on the relationship between DJ Huey Calhoun and the aspiring singer Felicia Farrell as both characters struggle to build careers and fight racial discrimination. At its core, Memphis is a story full of heart and audiences with Memphis tickets across the nation love it, making this musical a hit.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Mesia Nyman, from the forest service presented the Ferron roads analysis at the February public lands meeting. She emphasized that the document is an information document in draft form. It is not a decision document which recommends and implements changes. The analysis area includes the Skyline to Ferron Mountain and everything that flows to Ferron Creek.
The roads are looked at and given different levels of risk. Risk factors include: looking at species, habitat needs, indicator species, winter range, calving and fawning risks, etc. Each resource is given a risk value and through the process each route is assigned a risk.
For example a wildlife layer is assigned and that risk could be low to moderate to high depending on the routes relation to wildlife and their calving and fawning areas and winter range considerations.
Each route also has an archaeological layer, a hydrological layer, rangeland layer, etc. Each route is assigned a low, moderate or high for each layer and a value is attached.
A lot of routes have been included in this process including closed routes and user created routes. "This is not a decision document, but recommendations may be taken from the analysis. All of this data is difficult to include in a data base, but we are working to bring our data base up to speed. There are no questions on the main arterial routes, but the controversy comes on level two roads. These roads receive less maintenance or no maintenance. It is important for us to know what the public thinks about certain routes. Do you use it a lot? Is it important to you? We need public input," said Nyman, "We don't have enough funds to maintain all routes."
Nyman said they are in need of public input from ATV groups, rangeland permittees, and the public lands council access committee.
They are also looking at nonmotorized trails which are not numbered and on the system. They are evaluating seasonal closures. These seasonal closures are hard to enforce. "We do receive a lot of public support for seasonal closures to protect roads and give them time to dry out," said Nyman.
Some of the roads involve watershed impacts with surface erosion, and riparian area impacts and also creek crossings. The analysis shows a strong interest from the public in ATV trails. "We have an active OHV community and they do a lot of volunteer work and we're grateful for that, but user created trails and roads are a problem; especially during the hunting season. Most follow the roads but some do not," said Nyman.
If changes need to be made then the NEPA process will be started. This roads analysis is an information document even in its final draft.
The lands council determined that Nyman should work with Ray Petersen and the access committee in regards to the Ferron roads analysis.
The lands council voted to appoint Bruce Wilson as the chairman for the 2006 year with Vernell Rowley as the vice-chairman. Wilson assigned the lands council members their assignments for 2006. Coal bed methane will be Priscilla Burton, coal mining-Gary Petty, forest service-Bruce Wilson, water-Sherrel Ward, recreation-Tory Killian, Dickson Huntington-grazing, SITLA and access-Ray Petersen and Vernell Rowley-heritage. Wilson informed the council that Eric Luke has resigned from the council and a wildlife representative will need to be appointed. He asked permission to begin advertising for the opening on the council.
Wilson asked Priscilla Burton the newest council member to tell about herself and welcomed her to the council. Burton said she is married to Frank Burton who is a Price native. They lived in Salt Lake and recently moved to Cleveland. She has been working for DOGM since 1990. She has two girls ages 12 and 7 who are enjoying their new schools. Burton has worked in the coal program and the abandoned mines reclamation. She is now working from the Price field office and is looking forward to getting involved with the lands council.
Huntington spoke about HB-145 which is sponsored by Brad Johnson which creates a state advisory board for grazing. Commissioner Ira Hatch felt that the BLM and forest service already have something of this type in place to take care of grazing and in his personal opinion it is just a ploy to get funds.
Of the grazing fees paid 12.5 percent comes back to the allotments for improvements and projects. The commissioner of agriculture has the say on how these funds are utilized now. Everyone who runs on BLM is sent a letter to see if they have projects for their allotment and matching funds are available for these improvements.
Rex Sacco wrote the original bill which has been amended. It is believed he wrote the bill to get the permittees a seat at the table. Rowley said the farm bureau has spoke in support of the bill. The council decided to write a letter as not being in favor of the bill as written. They would send this letter with Commissioner Sitterud when he attends the legislature.
Huntington also reported the lawsuit Kane County filed lost and the actions of the Grand Canyon trust in buying up grazing allotments has been deemed legal. A Kane County commissioner is filing an appeal and it will be back in court.
Rowley reported on some historical journals he has been reviewing with information on the early railroad and coal camps in the area. One history has been on a coal camp around Electric Lake which refined the coal onsite and shipped it as coke; this was the Salt Lake Coal and Coke Company. Rowley said he has donated the information to the Emery County Archives for preservation.
The Spanish Trail Convention will be held in Green River in early June. Mike McCandless said there is an increased interest now with the National parks system because there is some funding available for the Spanish Trail.
Rowley believes the funds will be used to more fully mark the Spanish Trail. Petty mentioned the trail runs directly through the Consol Coal Company property. Rowley said the trail entered the valley through the Spanish Fork canyon and included crossings of the Green River. Pack trains traveled from Santa Fe to San Bernadino, Calif. These pack trains carried contraband, slaves and other illegal pursuits. Rowley mentioned that it hasn't changed much as the I-70 corridor follows the Spanish Trail somewhat and contraband is still carried along that stretch. This parallel brought a chuckle to council members.
Petty reported that someone had contacted Consol about the possibility of supplying coal for a coal gasification plant. He also reported that with the SUFCO proposed road they did get the livestock driving lanes. The Waterhollow route is the preferred alternative although it is the most expensive. It was chosen because it doesn't disturb the archaeological value of the area.
Sherrel Ward reported that a gas company has been contacting private land owners in Cleveland.
Derris Jones from the Division of Wildlife Resources reported that Waldo Wilcox claims he has been contacted on leasing his mineral rights in Range Creek.
Commissioner Gary Kofford reported the BLM is putting in an office in Vernal to work directly with gas leases which will employ 17 people. There is a real push for natural gas at this time. Petty reported that MSHA has received bad publicity lately for coal mines and safety. He feels this publicity is unwarranted as MSHA issues orders also, not just violations. Mark Reynolds from the CW Mining said that in a survey of the 50 most dangerous occupations that coal mining wasn't listed.
Burton reported that in oil shale development of the 20 applications evaluated by the BLM that eight have been accepted two of which are in Utah in Uintah County, 50 miles south of Vernal. NEPA evaluations will be conducted next.
The forest service has been doing a study on expanding categorical exclusions on some new drill sites with limited disturbance which could expedite the permitting process. This new exclusion has a rule that the project would have to have less than a mile of road, which excludes most projects.

Now that the dust has settled in the south, we thought it was only right to praise the stars of the Rugby Championship's opening round.
Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out praise to the stars of the Rugby Championship's opening round.
15 Willie le Roux (South Africa): Always a threat with ball in hand in South Africa's victory over Argentina in Soweto. Le Roux always looked dangerous from the back, winning 100 metres on attack. Was hardly tested on defence but made his tackles when required and was safe under the high ball.
14 Ben Smith (New Zealand): The man from Otago was a revelation in the All Blacks' victory against the Wallabies and scored a hat-trick of tries for his effort. Always looked for work and won 66 metres on attack and caught the eye with a solid defensive effort.
13 Conrad Smith (New Zealand): Another top class display from the Hurricanes skipper who also managed to cross the whitewash against Australia. Smith's decision-making was superb and his experience proved invaluable in seeing off the Wallabies. Beats out JJ Engelbrecht who was one of the Springboks' best backs in Soweto.
12 Jean de Villiers (South Africa): Impressed with his direct running and all-round game management in Soweto. De Villiers' captaincy was also impressive, and he was one of the Springboks' leading attackers with 89 metres gained, and scored a deserved try.
11 Bryan Habana (South Africa): The Toulon-bound wing proved a handful on attack and extended his try-scoring record for the Springboks with his 51st five-pointer. Was always looking for work which saw him setting off on several attacking runs, making 70 metres in the process.
10 Aaron Cruden (New Zealand): Stood in for Dan Carter and the world's leading point-scorer was hardly missed as Cruden notched 20 points. Hardly put a foot wrong on attack, gaining 60 metres, but also put his body on the line on defence with nine hits made.
9 Fourie du Preez (South Africa): Came on for 30 minutes against los Pumas but showed during that time why he is so highly rated by Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer. His vision and decision-making was superb and he set up several of his team-mates' tries. Will be missed on the Boks' overseas tour. Aaron Smith also impressed for the All Blacks.
8 Kieran Read (New Zealand): Another solid all-round display from the man who is now widely regarded as the world's best number eight. Read did plenty of the dirty work, hitting the rucks and mauls with ferocity and also did well on defence with eight tackles made. Just edges out Duane Vermeulen who carried well for the Springboks.
7 Richie McCaw (New Zealand): The All Blacks skipper proved to be a thorn in the flesh of Australia. Led his troops well and showed that he hasn't lost any of his predatory skills at the breakdown. Just edges out Michael Hooper, who was easily the Wallabies' best player, and Francois Louw, who dominated at the breakdown against Argentina.
6 Steven Luatua (New Zealand): Showed that he has the potential to reach the levels of his more illustrious back-row team-mates with a hard-working effort in Sydney. Was a late replacement for Liam Messam but was not overawed by the occasion and did well especially on defence where he snuffed out several Wallabies attacks with 10 hits.
5 Sam Whitelock (New Zealand): Has transferred his fine form for the Crusaders into the Test arena, and he was the first name down in our tigh-five. Whitelock was the All Blacks' best defender, with 13 tackles made, and also won a handful of line-outs.
4 Eben Etzebeth (South Africa): Another solid display from the 21-year-old who is playing with maturity beyond his years. The Stormers stalwart has grown into his role as the Springboks' enforcer and did not take a backward step against the physical Argentinians and made 34 metres with ball in hand.
3 Jannie du Plessis (South Africa): Gave a strong scrummaging display and also impressed on defence, especially around the fringes of the rucks and mauls.
2 Adriaan Strauss (South Africa): Another fine performance from the Cheetahs captain which saw him winning the official man-of-the-match award. Strauss carried well, scoring a try and caught the eye, once again, with his accurate line-out throwing.
1 Tony Woodcock (New Zealand): New Zealand's strong man proved a handful in the scrums against the Wallabies but also impressed with his general play and on defence where he made six tackles.

Skip to comments.Free Republic Book Club
Posted on 02/25/2005 8:44:01 AM PST by Tanniker Smith
Welcome to the Free Republic Book Club.
Last time I checked there were over 70 posts on
our first thread by 40+ posters. Not bad at all.
Let's call our second meeting to order. I'd love to give you a topic, but I have to go dig up the car and take the kids bowling. So talk amongst yourselves.
The results of yesterday's "survey" are below.
The thread didn't get a lot of responses, and out of the books that were listed, some weren't in any particular order, or weren't read yet. Soooooo, instead of using a totally unscientific method that would have made the WashCompost proud, and totally assembling the data out of whole cloth and randomly assigning percentage values (I mean "skewing"), I just sorted through the titles that people have read (though I may have stopped after your third book listed).
February 25, 2005 ping.
No, "I Am Charlotte Simmons" (by Tom Wolfe)? I'm re-reading it.
Now there's a book that will tempt you to stop saying your prayers at night.
Coulter never said How To Talk To A Liberal was anything but a column collection. That said, there IS new material in there.
Would you mind adding me to your ping list? There have been so many books I've wanted to read, but forget to write down the titles...
Coulter's new book isn't worth the money. There are a few good pieces in it here and there, but mostly it's boring. It gives the feeling that she was under contract to write a book, but didn't really feel like it, so she threw this thing together.
Has anybody read Thomas Dalrymple, on the state of culture in the UK? He's good.
Also, 'Tom And Huck Don't Live Here Anymore', forgot the author, will look it up.
The Death of Right and Wrong by Tammy Bruce
Useful Idiots by Mona Charen
The Rise and Fall of Socialism by Jason Muravchik
The Quest for Cosmic Justice, Race and Culture, and another recommendation for A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell (any book by Thomas Sowell, actually)
I recommend reading Unfit for Command if you haven't, specifically because you can't really appreciate just how much the left was covering up for Kerry without looking at the sheer number of claims and how they are supported in this book.
Not conserative books, per se, but useful books that undermine some key liberal academic assumptions include Stereotype Accuracy: Toward Appreciating Group Differences edited by Yueh-Ting Lee, Lee J. Jussim, and Clark R. McCauley and War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage by Lawrence Keeley. The first addresses the assumption that all stereotypes are wrong and bad and the second addresses the liberal myth that all violence springs from Western culture. Both have been favorably reviewed in National Review in the past.
First (sheepishly hanging my head) let me shamelessly promote my own Military techno-thriller series about World War III pitting Red China, the fundamental Islamic nations and their allies against the United States and our allies. Sort of a Clancy with a consntitutional attitude blending in many conservative issues of the day into the storyline.I know I have missed others. Please chime in.
Then, there's Freeper Travis McGee's (Matt Bracken), Enemies Foreign and Domestic, as good a second amendment thriller about rogue governmental agencies and politicians pitted against 2nd amendment adherants as you will find. A GREAT read.
Freeper Jim Macomber's Art & Part and Bargained for Exchange. Two novels, really a series about the main character, that are outstanding reads that mix Grisham and Clancy type writing styles into very good legal/espionage thrillers.
Freeper LS has writtne and is doing extremely well with, "A Partriot's History of America". He also has "Spetember Day" which should be coming out soon, a thriller based on the 9-11 attacks. I've read the manuscript and it is exciting and an excellent blend of historical fact with fictional what-if's that are sure to rasie the haris on the back of your neck and pull you into a an exciting stroy line.
A great ficitonal, Sci-Fi read is byFreeper author E.E. Knight (snake65). His Vampire earth Series (and don't be put off by that title, it is NOT your typical Vampire novel...it's true sci-fi with an unbelievably good story line, Way of the Wolf and Choice of the Cat.
Having read all of the books I just mentioned, I can say that we have Hope a wealth of fictional literary talent here on FR. Hope everyone enjoys it all
2. A book club thread , be it conservative, or Republican, or libertarian, is waaay to broad in scope,..and therefore is not focused. I think that every week you should consider limited the area of discussion to a particular topic, or genre..examples..and there are others..
1. Contemporarey politics
3.Military history
4. Fiction
5. European history
> 6. Religion
Otherwise the thread is all over the place...in this way,each week there's a little more focus to the books discussed.. thanks for letting me weigh in..
It's not written by a Freeper, but if somsone wants a really thought-provoking Christian fiction book, try "Blink" by Ted Dekker. (NOT the "Blink" that is out there by a secular writer in non-fiction). I also strongly recommend "Smoke Screen" by Kyle Mills, which offers a remarkable answer to all the tort-lawsuits in the nation today.
Let me say that Jeff Head's five volume series is worth the money. I would not have purchased every one of five volumes.
LOL, my friend, it appears that you and I are both plagued by the typo bugs today.
Jeez. I meant to say that if they weren't good, I would NOT have purchased all five volumnes. You know what I meant.
I know...just reviewing my own post I saw a couple of typos and thought it was humorous is all. Thanks in any case for the kind words...they are more than mirrored back to your own excellent work.
I know you are working on a Klamath book, but are you doing a new fiction, too? Can you keep it to one volume this time out of compassion for our wallets?
Just came across this thread. Great!
And thanks, Jeff, for the kind words.
Since this thread/club may renew/increase interest, let me give the Freepers the link to the page we set up a little while ago just for them:
and mention that #3, "A Grave Breach", will be out soon.
Forgot to explain that the web page cited - http://www.jamesmacomber.com/FRSpec.html -
has my first 2 novels "Bargained for Exchange" and "Art & Part", available at a very large discount for Freepers - $10.00 ea.
"Unintended Consequences"
Has been out for a few years, but very good 2A book.
Sorta slow getting started, though...
I almost picked up Charlotte Simmons yesterday...you're re-reading it? how would you describe it?
I hope to get...
The Stand at Klamath Falls
How rural western farmers took on entrenched environmentalism and won
out by late spring or early summer. Maybe sooner.
Have no plans as yet for more fiction...but am getting lots of requests.
Another EXCELLENT book:
Flyboys : A True Story of Courage
by James Bradley
This acclaimed bestseller brilliantly illuminates a hidden piece of World War II history as it tells the harrowing true story of nine American airmen shot down in the Pacific. One of them, George H. W. Bush, was miraculously rescued. The fate of the others-an explosive 60-year-old secret-is revealed for the first time in FLYBOYS.
Second that.
Although I've thoroughly enjoyed Kyle Mills's prior books, I held off on this one in fear that it would be an anti-tobacco rant.
Wholly concur and recommend Ted Dekker. Excellent author with really fresh and unusual Christian fiction. I've not yet read BLINK, but it's on order. I have read TH3EE (sp?), as well as all three books of the CIRCLE trilogy. Excellent reading.
I read ~100 novels per year, primarily thrillers when I can find good ones. I'm always on the lookout for great fiction.
"'...Start a new one every weekend..and let it run for the week..'" "'Second that.'"
I vote for that idea, too. I'd like to read "State of Fear" or "Useful Idiots." I'll see how quickly I can get them from the library because I'm fiscally conservative, a.k.a. "cheap," LOL! :)
The House On Old Vine - Norah Lofts
1000 White Women - Jim Fergus
And The Ladies Of The Club - Helen Hooven Santmyer
Don't worry about "Smoke Screen" being an anti-tobacco rant. I think he offers a way out of this whole mess. :)
By the way, if you haven't read Caleb Carr, "The Alienist," that is very good. His second book, I didn't think, was quite as gripping. And I love all Nelson DeMille books.
I'm the king of cheap when it comes to books....I average 10-12 books a month, and if it wasn't for second hand book stores or the book exchange shelf at work. I couldn't afford me.
There are some books I buy as soon as they come out in hardbound because I can't wait ( John Sandford, David Wiltse, David Drake, Nelson Demille) or they are authors I've been collecting for years, but thank goodness for "Second Hand Books".
That'll give us another good thing to do today -- decide what to talk about for the next week!!
Should we pick a genre? If so, what genre? (Two answers here: No or Yes/genre)
Should we pick a particular book? (This might not be good to start since I doubt we've all read any books in common and a week is a short time to get a copy and read it.)
Any other ideas? Go write ahead!
Mills has a knack for making what I call "fantasy solutions" to big problems seem feasible. RISING PHOENIX is a prime example. Talk about cutting back on drug use!
Will check out Caleb Carr; never read any of his.
Yeah, I like Nelson DeMille, too. One of my favorites, in fact, though his endings sometimes irk me pretty severely. I also love Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, both together and as solo authors. James Rollins spins enjoyable, fantastic tales. James Patterson's work is hit-or-miss for me. I like Grisham well enough to have read all of them. (I have a collection of his signed first editions that's about 80% complete.) I used to love Clancy but find his later stuff unreadable; it's obvious he's burnt out.
With DeMille, it's all about the ride and never the destination. He ranks with Stephen King as a poor writer of climaxes, but his character/story development is always entertaining.
I like the list so far! "State of Fear" is a great suggestion because it is a work of fiction written from a reasoned and conservative-leaning perspective.
So, will we be "assigning" books for all to read and then discussing? I'd be great to all get on the same page. (I know, lame pun)
That is at the top of my all time favorite books.
I think it's longer than War & Peace but definitely worth the read.
It's ...And Ladies of the Club"
Please add me to the ping list. I will be out most of next week, but I look foward to reading it when I get back.
ach, I meant the first "the" in the first reference...not "And THE Ladies of the Club", just "...And Ladies of the Club".
I'll stop now.
Thanks for the ping. I have read some of the excerpts of your works that have been posted from time to time, and they were excellent.
I wish I had the time to read your entire series, but I can't put a good book down once I've started, and that would not be good for my business at this time.
I promise to get them just before my next vacation (a long relaxing one, I hope).
Gotta get back to work. Keep on writing and posting.
Best Fregards.
I love "The House at Old Vine"!
Have you read "Gad's Hall" by Lofts?
2. Glory for Me..by MacKinlay Kantor..the novella upon which "the Best Years of Our Lives" was based..perhaps the greatest movie of WW II.. Kantor's now hardly remember.. 3. The Vicar ofChrist..can't remember the author's name...a wonderful read about a US Marine officer who becomes in turn, a Korean War Hero, the CJ of the US Supreme Court, and finally, the first American Pope..
