Supreme Conflict
Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court
by Jan Crawford Greenburg
published by The Penguin Books
New York, NY
copyright 2007
Read this book.
This is a pretty good book. I was surprised that even though you could occasionally tell what the author's bias was she she was pretty evenhanded. There were some good insights even for a political junkie like me.
She does however ignore Roberts' record in concluding that he will be a solid conservative vote.
The best quote is from Rehnquist. He said, "You spend your first five years on the court wondering how you got here and the rest of you time wonder how your colleagues got here."

Second Chance
Second Chance: Three Presidents and the Crisis of American Superpower
by Zbignew Brzezinski
published by Basic Books
New York, NY
Copyright 2007
Read this book if you want a look into the mind of a foreign policy adviser.
The most interesting quote in the book is on page 143 and deals with getting into a war with Iraq. It was recorded by a Tony Blair foreign policy adviser. Bush "actually toyed with the idea of staging a deliberate military provocation in order to precipitate a casus belli." In other words a false flag attack. Like perhaps 9-11.
He also claim that even during the Cold War when a nuclear war could have happened that "American leaders did not propagate fear as a means of sustaining national determination. Perhaps he forgot about the drill that had school children hiding under their desks.
The book is a good look into the mind of a key presidential adviser. It shows his duplicity.

In Defense of Our America
In Defense of Our America: The Fight for Civil Liberties in the Age of Terror
by Anthony Romero and Dina Temple-Raston
published by Harper Collins
New York, NY
copyright 2007
Don't read this Book.
The book is hard to follow as through out the book the author attempts to discuss each topic some in each chapter. Often the connection is not clear. The author is correct on some subjects such as torture, but wrong on others. In discussing the South Dakota abortion ban he talks about their leader Fire Thunder being opposed to it. If you read what she says, she is really saying I am ineffective in stopping rape and violence against women so I will kill the innocent. Also he often claims that science supports evolution but does not present any evidence (because there is none). It becomes evident in he Afterward for those of us who did not know the author before reading the book that his hatred of God most likely stems from the fact that he is a homosexual.

Come on People
Come on People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
By Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussant
published by Thomas Nelson
Nashville, TN
copyright 1994
Read this book.
This book begins with vintage Cosby discussing whether or not he is black enough to talk about this topic. Most of the book is pretty good. There is however no discussion of the topic of abortion.
This is an important topic in relation to the subject covered due to several factors. First in 2005 there were more black babies aborted than born. Second, many of the health risks that Cosby talks about are also linked to women who have had abortions.
Many of Cosby's solutions are good and at least desire a look and some serious thought.

America and the World
America and the World
By Zbignew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft, and David Ignatius
published by Basic Books
New York, NY
copyright 2008
This is a What to Read if you want insight into why our foreign policy is messed and why we are losing our sovereignty.
This book is an interesting discussion between a Republican and a Democrat national security adviser. The key to the fact that they are both anti-American scumbags is found on page 247. Sowcroft says, "Let the fact that we have to make some concessions on sovereignty sink in gradually. Don't put that our front." Brzezinski answers, "Absolutely." They are saying hide the fact that we must give up or sovereignty to accomplish what we are talking about. On page 250 Brzezinski says "it's dignity, not freedom, that people around the world...really seek. But I ask can you truly have dignity without being free?
