Anchor, 2005

A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.

+ I very confidently recommend
+ Tuesdays with Bill

After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I ...

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2001

A man of unquestionable integrity

+ Whitewashing High Crimes and Misdemeanors
+ The truth matters!!!

Note that this review is long after the publication of this book but Mr. Schippers' book is a timeless monument to his integrity and a searing indictment of our Congress and especially Bill Clinton and friends.

Hating Whitey: And Other Progressive Causes85 reviews
David Horowitz

Spence Publishing Company, 1999

Indictment of Hypocrisy

If you are living with eyes wide open and ears devoid of wax buildup,you can see and hear ...
