My chat with Keith Olbermann

Image Leave a comment

My conversation with Keith Olbermann via Twitter last night. He obviously has a real issue with Fox constantly beating him. Bill-O has been #1 for 115 months in a row. He’s naive if he doesn’t believe Liberals watch him for the same confirmation Conservatives get when they watch Fox. And yes, he does disagree with the White House from time to time. However, if he were honest he would have to admit that Bill O’Reilly often criticized President Bush as well.

The Killing of a President

My Library, Book Reviews – 6AM Reviews

  • Title: The Killing of a President – Amazon
  • Pages: 233
  • Author: Robert Groden
  • Rating: 5/5 – Perfect

One of my high school teachers first showed me this book when we talked about the assassination in class. I ended up buying it the following week. It presents complete photographic evidence for those who believe President Kennedy was killed by more than one person.

Robert Groden makes a pretty convincing case for the multi-shooter theory. It shows frame by frame footage of the infamous Zapruder film. As well as dozens of photos from the actual autopsy which show what looks like different entry wounds on the President.

The book is strong enough to make anyone question the Warren Commission. I thought it was much better than the questionable Oliver Stone movie, “JFK” which also presented the same theory. This book, however, deals with facts, not innuendo, and that was something I appreciated.

Check back tomorrow morning, for another 6AM Review.

What Dreams May Come

My Library, Book Reviews – 6AM Reviews

  • Title: What Dreams May Come – B&N, Amazon, PBS, Google
  • Pages: 288
  • Author: Richard Matheson
  • Rating: 5/5 – Perfect

What Dreams May Come is one of my favorite books (one of my top five). When Chris Nielsen dies he has a hard time adjusting to his afterlife. His journey to Heaven and through Hell is something every reader should experience.

Matheson spent hours researching near-death experiences and includes all of his work in a detailed bibliography at the end of the book. While he says his book is fictional, he only means the characters and the plot. Everything else he believes is based on facts and hard evidence.

I was going through the death of a loved one when I first read this book, and it helped me beyond measure. Death is not the end, only a new beginning.

Check back tomorrow morning, for another 6AM Review.

“We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful.” – Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854
