Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse....
As if Carter and CLinton weren't bad enough for this country as Presidents and Al Gore tries to steal what he can't win. Wins only 19 states to Bush's 31 (and 178 electoral votes)now we have Howard Dean who, get this, calls Al Gore "The Elected President." But then again, Howard Dean won't open his files to let anyone ...

Beware
If you think Clinton severely reduced our military capability and Carter destroyed our economy, you ain't seen nothing yet. This man would do more harm than all the feckless Democratic presidents in the last half century put together.

Winning Back America with Howard Dean
Reading this book feels like having a conversation with Howard Dean. The manufactured "issues" you see in the media are addressed by the candidate in this book in such a candid way that it makes you wonder why the talking heads of the media don't just read the book, or if they did, why they are still disingenuously mak...

Great book by our next President
This is a great book by Dr. Howard Dean. It really makes you think about what it means to be an American and how important it is to hold our government accountable. As Governor Dean puts it, "the role of government is to serve and protect the people in an honest and forthright manner, nothing more, nothing less."

Powerful but noisy
I was attracted to the Breville Classic Blender by its handsome, retro styling. In actual use, it has proved to be powerful but noisy. The simple three speed control and pulsor is good.Unfortunately, after about 6 years of occasional but heavy use, the metallic finished locking collar has cracked, so that the blender c...

Doesn't blend
Pretty, but doesn't blend smoothies.

Somehow, this splashing, churning motion le...

This book is WAY overpriced for the content you get. Each of the many topics is only covered by a short little blurb - at best a couple of pages.

What a Read!
This book was absolutely delightful. I found Viscount Hartleigh to be an original, and Carissa, thankfully, not one of those ridiculous missish women regency books seem to favor. The dialogue was wonderful and witty. This is the book that should have won the 1998 RITA award.

Golden's 3rd battle is a win
The third book in the shadow saga ends the original trilogy nicely if not abruptly.
