Yeah, The Prince and The Art of War are great for a CEO to have on his desk, or to read in high school, but their modern day applications aren't all they're made out to be. | ||

FAR better. Jon Stewart recorded a cute little message on Amazon.com's main page about the book, you should check it out. | ||

I just read Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, and I liked it. www.michaelsave.com Michael Savage, an Independent. Definitly will make you rethink your thoughts on Al Franken. "The Enemy Within" is a great book an absolute good read and will help balance out the bias you now understand to be "facts" you may have picked up from Frankens lies err I mean book | ||

Like when they polled people, and most Bush voters said "morals" is the most important issue. What the heck does that mean and how what makes GWB such moral man, other than his attending to church? He's no saint, that's for sure. He's most like Homer Simpson - many vacations, keeping his job despite incomptence, watching TV, guzzling beer, choking on pretzels -- what a Homer thing to do. And of course, "it's pronounced it 'nu-cu-lar', dear" I haven't found any books -- I'm listening to "The Teaching Company" audio courses. And on politcal entertainers like Savage, Rush, Franken, Moore: Most of the "famous" political pontificators you hear about have no academic credentials, no knowledge of pertanent areas of history and economics, no distinguished record of accomplishment, and have no clue and don't care about academic or journalistic ethics. You are fooling yourself if you take their analysis seriously. They are just good pitchmen lobbiests to the American public employed by some cause or self-promoters and entertainers - not much removed from Steven King or Tom Clancey or a stand-up comic. | ||

Sleeping with the Devil: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400052688/qid=1099531148/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-6213090-8196030?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 See no Evil http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/140004684X/qid=1099531211/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-6213090-8196030 Sleeping with the devil is his second book where he investigates the whole debacle of Washington's ties with Saudi Arabia. How every single president has tipped his hand into the Saudi pot of gold and stuffed his pockets. his second book See no Evil is his personal accounts of his CIA work near the end of the cold war all the way up to the late 90s. You'll really start to understand the truth behind the CIA and why stuff like 9/11 was allowed to happen. These two books are excellent. Get the facts from the person who has been in the fields seeing the events through his own eyes, not some book worm that has 100 Ph. Ds. This guy is the real deal. | ||
