Posted by admin on May 20th, 2010 and filed under story books | 4 Comments »

I love reading books and well, I’ve finished all my books at home and I’m planning to buy a new one :)
Well I’ve read the notebook, a walk to remember, message in a bottle, the last song (nicholas sparks), my sister’s keeper (jodi picoult), etc and now I want to read other sad love story books from other authors. Any suggestions, please?
Thanks before ! :D

What are some good war story books to read?

Posted by admin on May 2nd, 2010 and filed under story books | 6 Comments »

when i say war story books. i mean the wars we recently fought or fighting. I need some suggestions. thanx

my class read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O’Brien, which is a vietnam war novel. it was very good.

Lord’s of Discipline is also really good, but is more about naval academies then actual war, however there are mentions.

Before the Creeks Ran Red, Foster’s War, Across the Lines, and The Secret Project Notebook are all war related and very interesting, however they are told from a teenager’s perspective, as if they were living in that time period. They’re good reads though.

The Things They Carried is probably you’re best bet, however. Enjoy Reading!

Michael Moore Mistake in “Capitalism: A Love Story” on FDR’s Second Bill of Rights?

Posted by admin on May 2nd, 2010 and filed under story books | 25 Comments »

When I finally got to watch Michael Moore’s movie “Capitalism: A Love Story” this month on DVD, I noticed an important error in the concluding part of the movie discussing President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s proposal in his 1944 State of the Union address of a “Second Bill of Rights” protecting economic rights as I show in this video.

The clips from Michael Moore’s 2009 movie “Capitalism: A Love Story” come from the DVD available on his website at http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/capitalism-love-story/

The image of FDR’s 1944 State of the Union message to Congress that I show in this video comes from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library page at http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/archives/address_text.html

The cover and image from Cass Sunstein’s book “The Second Bill of Rights: FDR’s Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever” comes from the Google books page at http://books.google.com/books?id=cj00Zjh1XIkC

And, finally, the image of the 1994 Reason magazine interview with then ACLU President Nadine Strossen comes from the Reason.com page at http://reason.com/archives/1994/10/01/life-liberty-and-the-aclu/2
