Somebody's Gotta Say It

Anonymous

Think you've got it all figured out? Think again.
Neal Boortz has been edifying, infuriating, and entertaining talk radio audiences for more than three decades with his blend of straight talk and twisted humor. In Somebody's Gotta Say It, Boortz warms up for the coming political season with a preemptive strike in the War on the Individual: ""The Democrats' theme for 2008 will be 'The Common Good.' I can't speak for you, but I am an individual. Government exists to protect my rights, not to order my life. And I damn sure don't exist to serve government."" He takes on liberal catchphrases like giving back (""Nobody actually earns anything anymore. Why do liberals think this way? Because they find it impossible to acknowledge that people work for money""), our rampant civic idiocy (""We are not a democracy. Never were. Weren't supposed to be. And we shouldn't be""), and Big Brother (""We have smoke-free workplaces. We have drug-free school zones. I say let's start establishing government-free oases, where we can be free to leave our seat belts unbuckled, and peel the labels off anything we choose""). And somehow, along the way, he finds room for pop quizzes and an answer, once and for all, to the eternal question, ""Neal, why don't you run for president?""—in a chapter called ""No Way in Hell.""
Full of irresistible wisecracks and irrefutable libertarian wisdom, Somebody's Gotta Say It is one man's response to America at a time when the government overreaches, the people underperform—and the truth hurts.

Darshan With Divinity

Radha Krsna Das

* "Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself."* "Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank."Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Neem Karoli village near Khimasepur in Farrukhabad, Bhumiadhar, Hanumangarhi, Delhi in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God.There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke.

España - A Brief History of Spain

Giles Tremlett

Bestselling author Giles Tremlett traverses the rich and varied history of Spain, from prehistoric times to today, in a brief, accessible primer for visitors, curious listeners and hispanophiles.

Spain's position on Europe's south-western corner has exposed it to cultural, political and actual winds blowing from all quadrants. Africa lies a mere nine miles to the south. The Mediterranean connects it to the civilizational currents of Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, and Byzantines as well as the Arabic lands of the near east. Hordes from the Russian steppes were amongst the first to arrive. They would be followed by Visigoths, Arabs, Napoleonic armies and many more invaders and immigrants. Circular winds and currents linked it to the American continent, allowing Spain to conquer and colonize much of it.

As a result, Spain has developed a sort of hybrid vigour. Whenever it has tried to deny this inevitable heterogeneity, it has required superhuman effort to fashion a 'pure' national identity – which has proved impossible to maintain. In España, Giles Tremlett argues that, in fact, that lack of a homogenous identity is Spain's defining trait.

PRAISE FOR GILES TREMLETT:

'Lively and well-informed ... At once a history, a journalistic inquiry and a travel book' Sunday Telegraph.

'A feast of a book' Irish Times.

'A transfixing, elegantly written account of Spain today' Metro.

'Tremlett writes with humour, modesty and a great affection for his subject'. --Daily Telegraph

'An invaluable book ... Ghosts of Spain has become something of a bible for those of us extranjeros who have chosen to live in Spain ... A country finally facing its past could scarcely hope for a better, or more enamored chronicler of its present' New York Times Book Review.

The Constitution of the...

Founding Fathers

The book containing the Constitution of the Confederate States of America serves as a pivotal historical document, encapsulating the legal and governmental framework intended to govern the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Crafted in 1861 by representatives from states that seceded from the Union, this Constitution mirrors the U.S. Constitution in many aspects but with notable divergences, particularly its explicit protection of the institution of slavery and states' rights. It outlines the structure of the Confederate government, detailing the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, while also embedding the ideologies and socio-political ethos of the Confederacy. This document not only sheds light on the political landscape of the time but also offers insight into the ideological rifts that led to one of the most tumultuous and defining periods in American history. As a book, it serves both as a historical artifact and a tool for understanding the complexities of governance, sectionalism, and the enduring impact of these issues on the fabric of the United States.
