Faster Than the Speed of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation (Jul 06 2004 23:33 GMT) - This morning Matt Drudge is reporting gossip that Hillary Clinton may be John Kerry's pick for VP. I cannot imagine a worse choice for this particular election. Bush must be defeated in November and Hillary Clinton would provide a huge target for Republicans, the Christian right and neocons. As I have previously written, Kerry's best choice would be John Edwards. Edwards has an outgoing personality, is from the South and presents himself as a regular guy. |

Path Notes of an American Ninja Master (Jul 06 2004 23:33 GMT) - Ken totally ignores the work of Glenn Morris - apparently Glenn isn't in Ken's cell phone clique. And Ken seems unaware of some useful concepts that Joseph Campbell made accessible in his work. Incorporating these would have made Boomeritis richer and blissfully less strident. Nevertheless, I sure wish Linda Kohanov would read this book. It might explain to her why a return to a nomadic tribal mind set (even if that were possible) would mean just a few simple words to women: |

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto (Jul 06 2004 23:33 GMT) - Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs- by Chuck KlostermanSome friends at work were reading this book and I was hooked by the discussion in the book on how it's Lloyd Dobler women love, not John Cusack. Any book on modern pop culture that can fit Lloyd Dobler into it's musings, has to be all right by me. I can't wait to delve deeper into Chuck Klosterman's cynical look at life and the world today. |

The Paradox of American Power: Why the World's Only Superpower Can't Go It Alone (Jul 06 2004 23:33 GMT) - A Moderate Foreign Policy: IraqIf there is any one current issue that has been utterly contaminated by partisan politics and unrealistic, over-the-top extremism, it would have to be the question of U.S. policy in Iraq. In fact, asking about Iraq policy can function fairly reliably as a political Rorschach test, with the answer serving to reveal the underlying biases of the person answering more than it serves to reveal anything about the issue itself. |
