NEW BOOK by Condoleezza Rice -- No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington
From Amazon:
More from Dr Rice:
"...From one of the world’s most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s compelling story of eight years serving at the highest levels of government. In her position as America’s chief diplomat, Rice traveled almost continuously around the globe, seeking common ground among sometimes bitter enemies, forging agreement on divisive issues, and compiling a remarkable record of achievement.
A native of Birmingham, Alabama who overcame the racism of the Civil Rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign. Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief adviser on national-security issues – a job whose duties included harmonizing the relationship between the Secretaries of State and Defense. It was a role that deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes.
With the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the Administration’s intense efforts to keep America safe. Here, Rice describes the events of that harrowing day – and the tumultuous days after. No day was ever the same. Additionally, Rice also reveals new details of the debates that led to the war in Afghanistan and then Iraq..."

Sometimes I have to wonder if Matthews actually insane. I mean that literally. I really think that if he was evaluated by a psychiatrist that he might be certified as insane.

Fareed Zakaria Lies About Right Wing Terrorism
Look at the cart when he discusses who is committing terrorism in the EU, the number of "Right Wing" terror attacks in 2010 are ZERO! Yes that is not what he says or implies during the story. Another point is that it is extremely inaccurate to compare what it called "right-wing" in Europe and what is "right-wing" in the USA. It is like comparing apples and pears.

Being George Washington: The Indispensable Man... by Glenn Beck
New by Glenn Beck, I will post a review once I have read it myself
IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW GEORGE WASHINGTON, THINK AGAIN. This is the amazing true story of a real-life superhero who wore no cape and possessed no special powers—yet changed the world forever. It’s a story about a man whose life reads as if it were torn from the pages of an action novel: Bullet holes through his clothing. Horses shot out from under him. Unimaginable hardship. Disease. Heroism. Spies and double-agents. And, of course, the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence that guided it all. Being George Washington is a whole new way to look at history...

Herman Cain Accuser Guide
As of today it is being reported that there arte five women who have in one form or another claimed that Herman Cain acted inappropriately to them or in front of them. I was somewhat confused about who claimed what and who 1-5 were. Therefore I am putting together this score card to try and keep track. Please send me any correction (with a reference) if you find a mistake.
Accuser #1: Karen Kraushaar
- Filed suit with NRA and received a payout
- Outed by brother-in-law
- Has history of making complaints
- Works for Obama administration in Treasury Department
- Cain stated he commented on her height as compared to the height of his wife
- Accuser lawyer said it was not about height
- Some have claimed she is accuser #2
Accuser #2: Anonymous
- Only the original Politoco article has any details on this woman
- “…A second source with close ties to the restaurant association from that period said the woman revealed at the time that she had suffered what the source described as “an unwanted sexual advance” from Cain at a hotel where an event involving the group was taking place…”
- I could find no other confirmation from the NRA, Cain or any other source on her
Accuser #3: Anonymous
- This accuser supposedly worked at NRA only claim is that considered complaining
- She claims that he made sexually suggestive comments and gestures and that he once invited her back to his apartment.
Accuser #4: Sharon Bialek
- Has declared bankruptcy twice and held nine jobs in 17 years. Today her main sources of income are child support and financial help from her fiancé.
- Cain's team has said they think money is her motive. "The fact is the Democratic machine in America has brought fourth a troubled woman to make these claims," Cain said Tuesday.
- During their meeting, Bialek alleges that Cain put his hand under her skirt and reached for her genitals and also pushed her head toward his crotch while they were in a car.
- Lives in the same apartment building as David Axelrod
- Veteran anchor Bill Kurtis says Bialek was former CBS employee with a ‘track record’: hers and Cain’s roles may even ’have been reversed’ in car
Accuser #5: Donna Donella
- Cain asked her to connect him with a "lovely young lady" who had asked a question during his speech. When Donella declined, Cain allegedly responded, "Then you and I can have dinner."
- She said she didn't witness any "inappropriate sexual behavior" at the group dinner. But she claimed he asked the waiter for two $400 bottles of wine, and then stiffed the rest of the group when it came time to pay.
- “ [His request] may have been innocent. Maybe not."
Accuser #6: Victor Zuckerman
- Sharon Bialek's ex-boyfriend
- I can confirm that when she returned [from meeting with Mr. Cain], she was upset, she said that something had happened and the Mr. Cain had touched her in an inappropriate manner,” Zuckerman said. “She said she had handled it.”
- Zuckerman said that more recently, he and Bialek talked about Cain after the allegations came to light, and Bialek said that the accusations didn’t surprise her.
- He personally witnessed nothing and she did not provide details of what Mr. Cain did
