Good Internet Talk Radio
Friday, March 27th, 2009I’m listening to Planet Kruiser on Radio for Conservatives.
Weekdays at 2PM Eastern. Kruiser is a stand up comic and does a good political rant for an hour, five days a week.

Skype for the iPhone?
Friday, March 27th, 2009The latest rumors are for an announcement next week.
Fujitsu enters the e-reader market
Friday, March 27th, 2009Before you get too excited, it won’t be released until next month, it’s only available in Japan, and it has a $1,000 price tag.
The FLEPia will however have a color screen with touch capabilities. Old School Palm OS stylus touch control though.
The display uses a variant of LCD tech that doesn’t use a backlight. The backlight is the power hog that has kept it from being used in a ebook reader yet.
I wouldn’t call this a threat to the Amazon Kindle or the Sony EBook reader, but it shows the market is opening up.
Marion Barry – Back in the News
Friday, March 27th, 2009Former democrat D.C. Mayor, and former crackhead, Marion Barry has joined the ranks of many prominent democrats.
He is, like our Dear Leader’s Secretary of the Treasury, a tax cheat.
According to the Washington Post, Barry “owes the federal government more than $277,000 in back taxes and skipped at least six months of recent payments on taxes owed to the D.C. government, according to federal authorities.”
Number 1 at Amazon!
Thursday, March 26th, 2009The #1 seller for all books at Amazon today is Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto
Barely two months into the administration of the most far left extremist President in over 30 years, and a book called a “manifesto for the conservative movement for the 21st century”, and explains how conservative principles are “always an enhancement to individual freedom” is flying off the shelves and into the minds of Americans.
Could it be the centrists who voted for “Change” without looking too closely at just what that change was are having a bit of buyers remorse? It’s a safe bet that Conservatives and right of center centrists who stayed home on election day because they just weren’t that thrilled with John McCain are figuring out that the lesser of two evils wasn’t such a bad idea after all?
It does appear that the left’s crowing about the “death of Conservatism” after our Dear Leader’s election, was a bit premature.
Also available as an audio book on CD.
Another one bites the dust
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Yet another one of BHO’s selections, this one for Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has removed his name from the running. It was disclosed that Jon Cannon was on the board of a nonprofit group faulted for mishandling federal grant money.
A 2007 EPA inspector general’s report on the foundation alleged a variety of irregularities involving $25 million in federal grants to assess water quality problems, including those at farms and pork processing facilities. The problems with accounting, improper cash advances and similar violations stretched from 1998 to 2005, according to the report.
Monday Book Picks
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Each Monday, I post a book I enjoyed and think my dear readers will as well.
The latest was On Basilisk Station by David Weber.
The first book in David Weber’s best selling Honor Harrington series. Often, and accurately called “Horatio Hornblower in Space,” this series tells the tale of an Officer in Royal Manticorian Navy. In this book, she is a Commander and has just received her second “Hyper” command. Set in the far future, the series has a definate “Age of Sail” feel, with missle broadsides instead cannon broadsides.
Here is this year’s archive and last year’s archive.
