Book Review - game change


Posted: Feb 10, 2010

Finally got my hands on a copy of Game Change. I am really enjoying the behind the scenes look at the last pres campaign.  All of the candidates are presented as real human beings - flaws and all.  Interesting look at conflict between Biden and Obama, the whole Edwards fiasco and Hill and Bill. And, if you are troubled by Palin's inadequacies now, you will not be comforted by reading this book.

Game Change On HBOMar 12, 2012
I watched this film on HBO last weekend.  Somebody obviously does not like Sarah Palin!!!  They certainly made her to appear very ignorant and stubborn with campaign manager, Steve Schmidt.  Evidently John McCain did not like they way they portrayed Palin on film either.  He says he does not plan on viewing this film, as it is an assault on her character.  I am certainly not a fan of Sarah Palin, but feel disturbed after watching this.  This just tears her apart -- ...

How's This For Part Of A Possible TOTAL Game-change? "You Will Be Able To Drive FreeSep 27, 2012
maybe a little too positive to take in one dose even for an optimist like me, but Tesla, manufacturer of electric cars, has opened 6 recharging stations to the public and plans to have them all over the country (not ALL over, I'm sure) in 2014. A charge for their cars takes 1/2 hour after 3 hours at 60 mph, but will cost nothing.  From Bloomberg Business Week: "So proclaimed Elon Musk last night in Los Angeles as he unveiled a new fleet of solar-powered, public charging stations ...

By Agence France-PresseFriday, January 8th, 2010 -- 6:33 pm WASHINGTON — The US government said Friday it will review the decision by a US court to drop charges against American private security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in an unprovoked attack in 2007.

National Review Online Being Sued For Defamation Jul 24, 2013
NRO being sued by climate scientist, Michael Mann. "Mann has been the target of numerous investigations into his work and has been cleared of any wrongdoing every time. Since some of these investigations were prompted by NRO [National Review Online] and CEI [Competitive Enterprise Institute], they had to know he was cleared of academic fraud, yet they continued to accuse him of it. Oops." "Unsurprisingly, both the NRO and CEI were unhappy with this and tried to block the lawsuit using SLAP ...

See what happens when the Republicans are in Charge.

Sen John McCain Thinks AZ And FL Should Review "controversial" Jul 21, 2013
To add insult to injury, McC thinks President Obama's remarks were "impressive" and that he "very appropriately" highlighed his experiences as an African-American male relative to the Trayvon Martin case.  He also voiced his support for Affirmative Action programs and, contrary to Ted Cruz's view, sees "no connection" between SYG laws and gun control.     http://crooksandliars.com/ http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-live/2013/07/mccain-review-stand-your-ground-law ...

National Review: "Why The Tea Party's Waning, Not Winning"May 20, 2015
I do wish more Tea Partiers had stuck to Ron Paul's ideology and temperament.  Even the conservative National Review says they haven't stayed true to the cause, the insinuation being they are hypocrits.
