A close presidential election in November could well come down to contested states or even districts--an election decided by vote theft? It could happen this year. Based on Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s investigative reporting for Rolling Stone and BBC television, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps might be the most important book published this year--one that could save the election. 

Billionaires & Ballot Bandits names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties--billionaires with nicknames like "The Ice Man," "The Vulture" and, of course, The Brothers Koch. Told with Palast's no-holds-barred, reporter-on-the-beat style, the facts as he lays them out are staggering. What emerges in Billionaires & Ballot Bandits is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes between the old money banking sector that still supports Obama, and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who not only support Romney but also are among his key economic advisors. Although it has not been reported, Obama has shown some backbone in standing up to the financial excesses of the men behind Romney. Billionaires & Ballot Bandits exposes the previously unreported details on how operatives plan to use the hundreds of millions in Super-PAC money pouring into this election. We know the money is pouring in, but Palast shows us the convoluted ways the money will be used to suppress your vote.

The story of the billionaires and why they want to buy an election is matched with the nine ways they can steal the election. His story of the sophisticated new trickery will pick up on Palast's giant New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

"Billionaires & Ballot Bandits:  The Theft of 2012"      
The BBC reporter who busted Katherine Harris' fake felon purge tells weird, hilarious and sick stories of the billionaires who are bankrolling the GOP; with hot new info on the Koch Brothers as well as the filthy rich you've never heard of from his new book & film.   "Bugs Bunny meets Hunter Thompson"
—Buzzflash

Palast’s prose has a zippy, breathless quality that might put you in mind of Michael Moore — “How does a ballot get spoiled? Not by leaving it out of the fridge” — but he’s also an expert in statistics who reports regularly for the BBC, Rolling Stone and other outlets.
—New York Times

"The most terrifying book a Democrat could read. Billionaires and Ballot Bandits delineates the potential theft of democracy."
—Huffington Post 

“A practical primer on how to exercise your right to vote on Election Day in the face of a calculated Republican multi-pronged plan to prevent you from casting a ballot by any means necessary.”
—News Blaze

"Palast ... chronicles how many of America’s super rich — the Koch brothers, hedge fund titan Paul Singer, Texan corporate raider Harold Simmons, among many others — have been patiently and prodigiously subsidizing campaigns not to “get out the vote,” but to keep it down."
—Too Much 

“If you really want to understand the forthcoming US presidential election, read this book.”
—Green Left

Who's stealing your vote and how to stop them
By J.B. Lyle
Urgently recommended, because it's about who's buying and stealing American elections, how they do it, and how to keep them from getting away with it.

Having read this author's other books, most recently Vultures' Picnic, I already knew he wrote with ferocious, if often appropriately hilarious, journalistic passion--plausibly claiming, however, to be non-partisan. In light of what he writes about the Clintons and Obama as well as Karl Rove and the Koch brothers, it does appear that he turns a blind eye to nothing and puts it all out there. Based on the evidence in this book, today in our country one political party is the overwhelming champ at wielding money to influence voters--and in case that alone doesn't produce the desired outcomes, disenfranchising them. One state's House Leader notoriously acknowledged--though he didn't intend a tape of this to reach a general audience--the real purpose of burdensome new voter ID laws, which he said would allow his party's presidential candidate to win his state.

Other methods of suppressing or stealing votes include purging and/or caging voter lists, as well as spoiling, ejecting, blocking, rejecting, "prestidigitizing," tossing, and stuffing ballots. If the reader isn't clear on how any of these methods work, not to worry, it's all explained, complete with photos and documents. As in his other books, Palast provides links to additional layers of information. In the middle of this one is a comic book by widely-published Ted Rall, as funny as it is full of facts.

Palast, an investigative journalist, or "gumshoe," as he calls himself, tells the reader who the Billionaires of the title are, what they've done to get so rich and what they're doing to get even richer. They want it all and they're on their way to rigging the system even more in their favor than it already is. But, we're urged, don't despair! Palast lists things we can do to ensure that: (a) we get to vote, and, (b) our vote is counted. As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., says in his Introduction, "There's still time to steal back your vote." Good news, in the runup to an election as serious as a heart attack.

Guerilla Civics
By JBG
The machinery by which American democracy operates is being hijacked by a tiny group of wealthy men. The process is far along, and American news reporting has almost entirely failed to raise the alarm.

Enter Greg Palast, investigative reporter extraordinaire, with Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps. In B&BB, Palast demonstrates he has the goods on the operation.

It is tempting to try to convey here a sense for its extent, ranging from think-tanks and astroturf organizations, called into existence by huge money, to the connivance of corrupt election officials, and the sufferance, or worse, of much of law enforcement and the judiciary, including the Supreme Court.

But that is too large a task to attempt in this space; refer to the book and website. What I can do here is describe the mechanics, the "9 easy steps", by which the dirty deed is being done. Honest people of all political persuasions will find these practices contemptible.

The '9 Easy Steps'

1 Purging is the use by partisan election officials of computer databases that identify voter characteristics (race, ethnicity, residence location, etc) to remove from registration rolls names of persons likely to be sympathetic to the "wrong" political party. Plausible pretexts for the removals are sometimes offered, but often not. Purging is what Katherine Harris did to tens of thousands of Florida voters in 2000, claiming the mostly black voters were felons when they were not.

2 Caging is the mailing of do-not-forward, first-class letters to selected groups and using letters returned as 'evidence' that voters' listed addresses are fraudulent. Partisan election officials can then strike the voters' names from registration rolls and/or throw out their mail-in ballots. This can happen en masse to military people serving overseas and voting absentee from their home addresses. Likewise to students away at school, and even to voters whose addresses on registration rolls contain fatal typos made, accidentally of course, by election data entry workers.

3 Spoiling is accomplished in a variety of ways. A famous one is to put punched-card voting setups in districts tending to the "wrong" party. Then disqualify all votes where the voter did not manage to punch the hole all the way through, as in the infamous "hanging chads" in Florida in 2000.

4 Prestidigitizing is accomplished using computerized "black box" voting machines. These machines are notoriously subject to sophisticated, vote-changing "hacking", but a great deal of damage is effected just by "glitches", where the machines simply fail to record votes. This is taken advantage of, in the simplest case, by placing the oldest, least reliable machines in "wrong party" precincts.

5 Tossing is the fate of many/most provisional ballots. A wrongfully-purged voter, challenged at the polls, is given a provisional ballot. When the registration is checked later, the original, bogus, reason for purging is found, and the ballot is tossed. There is no arrangement for seeking out and correcting invalid purgings.

6 Rejecting happens to mail-in ballots when partisan election officials can find pretexts, often trivial, for not recording them. An 'X' in a box instead of a filled-in box box, for example, or a stray mark in some inconsequential place. Or simply "losing" the ballot outright. Best part is, the voter never learns what happened.

7 Blocking registration, in its simplest form, is exactly that -- partisan election officials turn down registration applications, selectively, sometimes without telling the voter. To save officials the trouble of doing even that, walls are being put in place to keep registration forms from being submitted at all. Florida, for example, instituted registration rules so picky, with penalties so severe, that groups carrying out registration drives, like the League of Women Voters, were pushed to the sidelines in that state.

8 Ejecting voters when they show up to vote is done most prominently by requiring state-approved photo ID. Some IDs, like gun-owners' licenses, may be approved, while others, such as food stamp photo IDs, are not. In the June 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election, state-issued student IDs were rejected, a fact that, by itself, may have altered the outcome.

9 Stuffing boxes with phony ballots, or diddling with the count behind the scenes, is the old-fashioned way to steal elections. It is still deployed, and the computerized "black box" voting machines open new vistas, often with no means whatever for doing a definitive recount.

= = = = =

Palast offers some advice for individuals striving to swim against this flooding tide of infamy. They're good, and I recount them here (with some editing), but I judge it to be a very uneven contest.

For yourself:

1 MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED. Find out how to check on line with your state's Secretary of State's office or your county's Board of Elections. If you need help, ask at a public library. Then actually go and check!

2 DON'T VOTE BY MAIL if you can possibly avoid it. A mail-in ballot puts another human being, with his own interests, between your vote and the ballot box.

3 NEVER ACCEPT A PROVISIONAL BALLOT. Demand adjudication on the spot of your right to a real ballot.

4 VOTE EARLY -- AS EARLY AS YOU CAN. Opportunity varies by state; find out the earliest date ahead of regular Election Day that you can vote and where you have to go to do it. By voting early, if some roadblock is thrown up, you have some time to try to deal with it.

For your friends and neighbors and fellow citizens generally:

5 Recruit others to register. Help them overcome whatever obstacles your state may have put up. This may be as simple as driving them to a possibly-distant location, or as complex as getting proof of citizenship for someone who merits it but does not have it.

6 At voting time, follow up (as early as possible, remember!) with folks you know and/or you helped register to make sure they vote. Help them get to wherever they need to get to in order to vote, and help them cope with whatever roadblocks may be put up against them.

7 On Election Day itself, be a poll watcher and come to the aid of people who appear to be targets of bogus challenges.

8 IF YOU BELIEVE AN ELECTION HAS BEEN STOLEN, STAND UP AND DEMAND A RECOUNT (OR A RE-RUN)!

Palast describes how the "9 Easy Steps" stole the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections and numerous lesser contests. This matter is not an abstract matter or a prospective one. American democracy is already well along in transformation to oligarchy. Can we save it? We damned well better try.

A Deep Look into How Our Elections are RIGGED
By Chase
Easy reading as Greg Palast get's right to the point. Within this book you'll find how Carl Rove started the fine tradition of rigging elections and selling the results to the Billionaires. Crooked voting machines, absentee ballots that are never counted and suppressing minority voters, are all in Carl's playbook and a host of others. It was so good I read it Twice.

Never before in our history have we witnessed such an explosion of worldwide gambling opportunities. Our love affair with gambling points to its widespread appeal as a socially acceptable leisure activity. However, gambling, once thought to be strictly an adult activity, has become an increasingly popular pastime among adolescents. Whether engaged in wagering on games of personal skill, poker amongst friends, purchasing lottery tickets, sports wagering, casino gambling, or gambling over the Internet, its popularity among the young is on the rise. There is growing evidence that large numbers of adolescents remain actively involved and engaged in almost all forms of both regulated and unregulated gambling activities in spite of age restrictions.

While gambling addiction is recognized as a psychiatric disorder, there is a common misconception that adults are the only sufferers. Yet data from around the world point to high levels of gambling problems amongst adolescents, with rates of adolescent gambling problems being between 2-4 times those of adults.

Based upon a growing body of evidence, this book provides a better understanding of our current knowledge concerning the causes and extent of youth gambling problems. Using real life examples, Derevensky shows how adolescents gain access to gambling activities, what issues arise from those activities, and the tools we have available for assessing problem gambling among youth. He provides clear and practical strategies for the prevention and treatment of youth with gambling problems and points the way to understanding the extent and consequences of enabling youth gambling.

"I Hope You Die"... a superb, short urban horror story... 5 Stars
By R. Nicholson
"I Hope You Die" is a short urban horror story by author Kelly Fisher. This Kindle e-book was a 115 Kb download (approx. 30 printed pages) and sold for $0.99 at the time of writing this review.

Spoilers

Sam, our heroine, has had a traumatic childhood at the hands of her abusive step-father. Somehow she's survived beatings and sexual exploitations over the years even though her cowed and dominated mother continually turned a blind eye. After one particular vicious encounter she whispers to herself, 'I hope you die' as her step-father retreats down the hall. Sometimes, as the old saying goes... be careful what you wish for.

End Spoilers

Some thoughts on "I Hope You Die"

1.) a short, scary read.

2.) well written... with a nice sense of pace and timing.

3.) vernacular that was occasionally crude but realistic... it certainly fit the setting and was not overdone.

4.) each encounter seems to be just a little more intense then the last, resulting in a slow but steady ratcheting up of the fear factor.

5.) cover art... unpretentious, yet very effective in catching your eye. I really liked the font detail and the sense of overall balance. Well done!

6.) of minor concerns... one or two spell errors.

Conclusion:
Really an outstanding short urban horror tale.
When your nervous about turning the page, you know you've got a good story teller.

As it is... 5 Stars.

I have read many books on this topic and wonder if I really should be saying I enjoyed the book or not. Enjoy just is not the word to use with a book about child abuse. I was engrossed by the story and amazed by the inner strength of this writter. The book is well written. My heart goes out to Kelly Fisher.

2013 Logos Book of the Year in Christianity/Culture

"If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
Abraham Lincoln

Nothing is more daring in the American experiment than the founders' belief that the American republic could remain free forever. But how was this to be done, and are Americans doing it today?

It is not enough for freedom to be won. It must also be sustained. Cultural observer Os Guinness argues that the American experiment in freedom is at risk. Summoning historical evidence on how democracies evolve, Guinness shows that contemporary views of freedom--most typically, a negative freedom from constraint-- are unsustainable because they undermine the conditions necessary for freedom to thrive. He calls us to reconsider the audacity of sustainable freedom and what it would take to restore it.

"In the end," Guinness writes, "the ultimate threat to the American republic will be Americans. The problem is not wolves at the door but termites in the floor." The future of the republic depends on whether Americans will rise to the challenge of living up to America's unfulfilled potential for freedom, both for itself and for the world.

Review
"A Free People's Suicide challenges each and every citizen concerned about America's diminishing role as a beacon of liberty not only to comprehend the urgency, but also to participate comprehensively in freedom's preservation." (Albin Sadar, The Washington Times, washingtontimes.com)

"Dr. Guinness' book is rich in its explorations of Lincoln's words and their import for us today. As an expatriate friend of America, Guinness, like de Tocqueville, has a rare gift for helping us see our better selves. He casts a discerning eye at our modern institutions, and habits of the heart―as reflected in the broader culture. He freely concedes that there are worrying signs on the horizon, but then, having thoughtfully set out the challenges we face in our historical moment, he brings us back to the best things the founders gave us. On the whole, it's a fascinating perspective from a British citizen." (Kevin Belmonte, Huffington Post Religion Blog, September 1, 2012)

"Os Guinness enlightens, cheers, chastises and informs with this latest contribution to our civic discourse. Guinness here solidifies his reputation as one of the most nimble voices from the Christian community as he surveys our history and our present with appreciation as well as deep concern. Highly recommended for all interested citizens, whatever their political or faith commitments." (Jean Bethke Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics at the University of Chicago, author of Sovereignty: God, State and Self)

"A Free People's Suicide is an inside view from the outside. Os Guinness has a clear eye, a quick mind, a profound grasp of political philosophy and an eloquent pen. His analysis of American freedom, what it has been, now is and is likely to become, is a clarion call for renewal of the founders' vision for a free people." (James W. Sire, author of The Universe Next Door and Václav Havel: The Intellectual Conscience of International Politics)

"Sometimes a book is so important and so timely that not to have read it is to embarrass oneself. This is such a book. Its message is so crucial and so clear that all Americans are obligated to read it and have a national conversation on its themes. No cultural commentator or politician who has not read this book should ever be taken seriously again. Let this book be the new litmus test. If you are serious about America, be familiar with its themes and expect to discuss them and to be tested on them. Rest assured that you will be, because America is now herself being tested on them. Alas, we will not be graded on a curve. This book's clarion call is both piercing and full of hope. May God help us to hear it and to take action." (Eric Metaxas, author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery)

"With passion and urgency Os Guinness gives a sweeping historical account of America's past and her prospects for the future. He urges us to pay serious attention to a deeper understanding of freedom and makes a compelling case for why freedom requires virtue. Weaving together a wide-ranging knowledge of classical, constitutional and contemporary history, Guinness warns of America's decline but charts a course for America's renewal. It is a straight-shooting and sober volume, yet in the end it is a hopeful book." (Michael Cromartie, vice president, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington, DC)

"In a passionate work that blends historical-cultural analysis with moral exhortation, Os Guinness finds at the heart of America's culture wars something different than what many observers have seen. He identifies a 'freedom war,' a struggle over the very concept of freedom itself. As the Founders well understood, it is not enough for Americans to invoke endlessly the name of 'freedom' when they no longer agree as to what it means or what ends freedom is meant to serve. Guinness warns that freedom cannot long endure unless it is consecrated to purposes beyond itself. It is a warning worth heeding." (Wilfred M. McClay, SunTrust Chair of Excellence in Humanities, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and author of The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America)

About the Author
Os Guinness (DPhil, Oxford) is the author or editor of more than thirty books, including Fool's Talk, Renaissance, The Global Public Square, A Free People's Suicide, Unspeakable, The Call, Time for Truth and The Case for Civility. A frequent speaker and prominent social critic, he has addressed audiences worldwide from the British House of Commons to the U.S. Congress to the St. Petersburg Parliament. He founded the Trinity Forum and served as senior fellow there for fifteen years. Born in China to missionary parents, he is the great-great-great-grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer. After witnessing the climax of the Chinese revolution in 1949, he was expelled with many other foreigners in 1951 and returned to England where he was educated and served as a freelance reporter with the BBC. Since coming to the U.S. in 1984, he has been a guest scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies and a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. He was the lead drafter of the Williamsburg Charter, celebrating the First Amendment, and has also been senior fellow at the EastWest Institute in New York, where he drafted the Charter for Religious Freedom. He also co-authored the public school curriculum Living With Our Deepest Differences. Guinness has had a lifelong passion to make sense of our extraordinary modern world and to stand between the worlds of scholarship and ordinary life, helping each to understand the other - particularly when advanced modern life touches on the profound issues of faith. He lives with his wife Jenny in McLean, Virginia, near Washington, D.C.

"The problem is not wolves at the door but termites in the floor."
By George P. Wood
At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got--a Republic or a Monarchy?" To which Franklin replied: "A Republic, if you can keep it." That question and Franklin's reply cut to the heart of Os Guinness's new book, A Free People's Suicide.

According to Guinness, any society that wishes to be free must accomplish three tasks: win its freedom, order is freedom, and sustain its freedom. Americans commemorate the winning of our freedom on July 4, 1776, even though peace with Britain was not formalized until 1783. We commemorate the ordering of our freedom with the adoption (1787) and ratification (1789) of the Constitution. But sustaining our freedom is an unfinished and ongoing task.

Unfortunately, Guinness argues, "freedom has a chronic habit of undermining and destroying itself." He notes three instances:

* "When freedom runs to excess and breeds permissiveness and license."
* "When freedom so longs for its own security that its love of security undermines freedom."
* "When freedom becomes so caught up in its own glory that it justifies anything and everything done in its name, even such things as torture that contradict freedom."

He then notes that "the last decade has displayed clear examples of each of these corruptions writ large in American culture and in American foreign policy."

Now, Guinness is a Brit, so it's easy--too easy--for freedom-loving patriots to dismiss his analysis as so much anti-American twaddle. But Guinness is an America-loving Brit. He doesn't critique America in order to defame it but to improve it. Indeed, he argues that the sustainability of our freedom depends on our ability to appropriate the wisdom of the Founders for the present day.

A crucial component of that wisdom is what Guinness calls "the Golden Triangle of Freedom": "Freedom requires virtue, which in turn requires faith of some sort, which in turn requires freedom." The Constitution cannot secure American freedom in the absence of the character of its citizens. A government for free people requires self-government. But the source of self-government transcends the self and cannot be appropriated by means of coercion. Freedom requires virtue requires faith requires freedom. These qualities are symbiotic and mutually reinforcing.

Like Abraham Lincoln, Guinness doubts that America can be conquered by external foes. In Lincoln's words, "As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." Rather, the real threat to the American experiment in ordered liberty is internal. In Guinness's pithy words, "The problem is not wolves at the door but termites in the floor." Sustainable freedom begins with renewal at the level of our nation's moral foundation.

If I have any criticism of this otherwise excellent book, it is that Guinness, like the American Founders before him, is vague about the faith that virtue requires. Freedom requires virtue which requires faith of some sort. Those last three words should remind Christian readers--Guinness himself is an evangelical, and IVP Books is an evangelical publishing house--that Americans have always viewed religion in terms of social utility and been hesitant in the face of exclusive truth claims or spiritual practices. Christians in America, then, can contribute to the sustenance of their nation's freedom, but must beware lest their Kingdom agenda be sacrificed upon a national altar.

The Slavery of "Freedom"
By E. Ritzema
We Americans love to talk about freedom.

We call ourselves "the land of the free"; our Declaration of Independence talks about liberty as an "inalienable right"; there are few things that can get an American riled up like the threat of a loss of freedom.

But our freedom is in jeopardy, says Os Guinness. Guinness doesn't find the primary threat to our freedom in an external source, like another nation, or even "big government" or "big business" or special interests. No, the enemy is us. Freedom cannot be won for all time and then left alone; it needs to be sustained. And, Guinness writes, Americans are failing to sustain the freedom our nation's founders worked so hard to win: "The problem is not wolves at the door but termites in the floor. Powerful free people die only by their own hand, and free people have no one to blame but themselves" (37). The vision of freedom we Americans are pursuing is "short-lived and suicidal" (29).

(Side note: The title A Free People's Suicide might seem bombastic, but it comes from a quote from Abraham Lincoln: "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.")

The problem with our vision of freedom is that the freedom we love to talk about and claim for ourselves focuses exclusively on freedom from external constraints. There are two kinds of freedom: freedom from constraint (negative freedom) and freedom for cultivating virtue and becoming the people we ought to be (positive freedom). Modern Americans are only interested in negative freedom. We claim rights and entitlements for ourselves, but do not care about duty, virtue, character, or pursuing excellence. Negative freedom alone is unsustainable. Freedom from external restraint, without self-restraint, undermines itself.

What can be done? Guinness argues that we need to return to the founders' vision of freedom, which he calls the "Golden Triangle of Freedom." He demonstrates that the founders did not have a vision of freedom that stopped with freedom from constraint. Rather, their vision of freedom was part of an interdependent triangle: freedom requires virtue; virtue requires faith; faith requires freedom.

Perhaps the most controversial part of this triangle of freedom in our time is faith. The point for Guinness, and I agree, is not necessarily that the founders were Christians (though some were). Rather, the point is that the founders (even the Deists) were unanimous in their approval of faith of any kind, because faith fosters virtue, and only a virtuous people can remain free.

Guinness' book is intended not just for Christians or religious people, but for all Americans who care about freedom. For that reason, I understand his arguing for faith as part of the golden triangle of freedom on pragmatic grounds (he follows the founders in adopting this tactic). Nevertheless, I think his argument ought to have particular force for Christians. The Bible also understands freedom as not merely freedom from constraint.

Seven times in the book of Exodus, God (through Moses) says, "Let my people go so that they may serve me." (Exod 5:1; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3). Jesus said, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36), but he also said, "Take my yoke upon you" (Matt 11:29). One of the earliest Christians' favorite self-designations was "slave of Christ" (Rom 1:1; 1 Cor 7:22; Gal 1:10; Phil 1:1; Titus 1:1; Jas 1:1; 2 Pet 1:1; Jude 1; Rev 1:1). Freedom, for the Christian, can never be merely about freedom from external constraints. It begins with freedom from constraint, but doesn't stop there. Christian freedom is not just freedom from, but freedom for: freedom to serve God and others. From a Christian perspective, those who begin by thinking freedom is merely the absence of external constraints end by becoming slaves to their own appetites: greed, lust, and desire for power.

I applaud Guinness' effort to prod Americans to do the hard work of sustaining freedom. I hope his argument gains a wide hearing. In particular, I hope his argument gains traction among Christians, who are just as prone to only care about negative freedom as anyone else, but who have the least reason for doing so.

Wanted to love it, and did for awhile... but it contained too many tropes
By B. A. Wilkins
Os Guinness is obviously an intellectual giant, and in "A Free People's Suicide," he demonstrates some clear, provocative thinking on American culture and ordered liberty. That is, the current world view of Americans, if not renewed, will lead to the demise of the American republic. Particularly, his explication of freedom (winning, ordering and sustaining freedom) was compelling and something he obviously has spent a good deal of time researching and formulating. Within this framework, I found him teasing out ideas and ideals not found in other solid books I've read on American liberty (notably M. Stanton Evans's "The Theme is Freedom" and Matthew Spaulding's "We Still Hold These Truths") - and that gives these analyses great explanatory power. Likewise his sections on the compact between Americans and our government, the interconnection of freedom, virtue, and faith and the recommendations on how it can be recaptured. Frankly, had he stopped there and avoided the ad hominem political generalizations in the later sections, I would have given this book 5 stars.

So, on the negative side, whenever Guinness wanders outside of his philosophical-theological wheelhouse, namely into politics and statecraft, his product suffers. Meaningfully. He takes the apolitical tack... at times... but then frequently meanders back into generic political commentary and prescriptions. The unspecific terms he employs undermine his arguments here. For example, he cries out again and again about how America cannot sanction torture and remain free (agreed), but then fails to define what he means by torture, trying to make the point based on assumptive agreement by his readers (after all, who could be against any kind of torture?). He also essentially labels America an imperial power, but without defining again how this should be filtered - power projection, neocolonialism, defense welfare for Europe (against Germany, then the USSR) or does this include S. Korea, Grenada and Nicaragua as well? Too generic again. Instead he gives some unspecific examples - without analysis - that purport to demonstrate his case, along with one silly line about how America has essentially made jihadism what it is today, glossing over the essential contribution in the middle east by European empires in the early 1900s, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood (and their hate for the US as early as the 1920s based primarily on world view differences, not US colonialism) and the rise of powerful, intelligent ideologues who actually welcome the 12th Mahdi (e.g., Iran's Ahmadinejad). In doing so, he displays a basic ignorance of what propels jihad and, in a strange way, places the blame for jihadists' goals for a worldwide caliphate on increased US presence in the post WW1 era. For a Christian theologian-philsopher, this is rank illogic. As biblically understood, evil's cause is never located in someone else's actions - it is a choice by a moral agent. [And yes, jihadism is as evil as naziism or communism.]

Guinness also has an ax to grind with George W. Bush as merely a "freedom exporter," but does not give specific examples to bolster his argument. While he references Iraq/Afghanistan as examples, he fails to contextualize either war, give a fair reading to the doctrine being used to fight terrorism at its root (e.g., Hussein aided terrorist attacks against US targets in the Bali and Philippines attacks, among others), or recognize the sign-off by Western intelligence agencies (and Blair, Clinton(s), Gore, UN, Congress, et al) on the belief in WMDs in Iraq. Oddly, though, he gives Barack Obama a foreign policy pass as concerns the Arab Spring but fails to criticize our interventions (Libya, Egypt) or non interventions (Iran, Syria). Bill Clinton and his response (or lack of) is also a non factor for some reason. He mentions Obama as an aside - by saying he has had many things to occupy his time and therefore is kind of above criticism for his first 3+ years- but avoids the obvious consistencies of his foreign policy vis a vis Bush: rendition, Guantanamo, drone strikes against jihadi leaders, spec ops missions into foreign lands. But the most surprising omissions, which may be a fuller indication of his lack of a consistent political philosophy, were the exclusion of Ronald Reagan entirely and the inclusion of Woodrow Wilson only briefly in the book. I found this odd as Reagan was the intellectual/ideological foil to FDR, and Wilson was the first statist/socialist to occupy the oval office. On the humanist-progressive side, Wilson was the first to try a command economy (during and post WW1), attempt to "make the world safe for democracy" through US intervention, and had his postmaster shut down periodicals that did not comport with his views of WW1 involvement. Wilson only warrants 2 brief mentions, and deserves more given his intellectual foundation laying. In contrast Reagan arguably rolled back more of US statism (and thus sustained American freedom) than any President in modern history, and vigorously fought our most formidable political/philosophical enemy of the 20th century (communism), living to see the liberation more than 80 countries from under its yoke. Guinness does go after Margaret Thatcher pretty hard for some reason, but again does not say why. My suspicion is she is an easier target for a US audience, and that he avoids Reagan for fear of perturbing his book's audience, which is likely largely conservative. If that is the case, avoiding Reagan's legacy is intellectually weak as he is the best exemplar of the sustenance of American liberty in the last 100+ years.

So, all this to say, 3 out of 5 seems about right. ~ WW

Q&A with Tony S. Daniel

Q: What's it like working on a huge initiative like The New 52?

Tony S. Daniel: It was certainly a huge undertaking for me. Detective Comics has never had a relaunch before and it was DC's longest running book. Luckily, Batman is one of the world's most iconic and recognized superheroes ever created. So there wasn't going to be much tinkering on my end. My job was to reacquaint long time readers and new readers alike, using the familiar in a way that it seems fresh. 

Q: How are you balancing making these stories and characters feel fresh and new while still respecting what came before?

TSD: Batman is a character who relies on technology. So luckily, he's a character who has always changed with the times. There's nothing about Batman that is ever outdated because his technology is always more advanced. I chose to introduce new villains for Batman, such as The Dollmaker, and mixing in some old favorites like The Joker and The Penguin.

Q: What would you say defines the character you are working on?

TSD: Batman is defined by his never ending quest for bringing justice to Gotham City. It's an undertaking that is impossible to achieve, but his will to press on and make Gotham City safer no matter the personal sacrifices he must make keeps Batman, and Bruce Wayne, relatable and admirable.

Q: What stories or creators inspire you most when working on your character?

TSD: For me, my love of the character started with Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Until then, I had only really experienced Batman through the 60s television show. So seeing Batman gritty, forceful and dark while at the same time contrasting with his personal side made him so much more human, or real, to me. Since then I've been inspired or influenced by all the great artists and writers who have come along these past few decades.

Q: So what do you consider to be your character's definitive stories?

TSD: As mentioned, The Dark Knight Returns, as well classics like The Long Halloween, Hush, and most recently, Grant Morrison's The Black Glove and R.I.P.

Q: What have you thought about the response so far for The New 52 and your title as whole?

TSD: I am overwhelmed with the positive reaction. It was a big undertaking, and I thought a big risk, too. But you have to push the envelope with comics. You have to take chances to keep relevant. Growing and evolving is absolutely necessary in the arts.

Q: Do you keep up with any of the other New 52 books? Which ones and why?

TSD: I keep up with all the Batman titles. I have to since it's part of my job to understand what the other writers are doing. I also have been keeping up with all the other big books like Action Comics, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Aquaman. There are too many to list actually, and with my busy schedule, not enough time.

Q: Has social media and increased direct interaction with DC Comics' fans changed your writing/drawing approach at all in regards to The New 52?

TSD: I use Facebook primarily to connect with readers. I honestly try not to be influenced by outside sources and look mainly to editorial for that. There are so many fans and so many opinions on what they like or don't like. To a degree, I have cut myself off from reading reviews and forums. I think as a creator, you have to work inward--out, not outward--in

Q: What creators have influenced the new direction you've taken with your book?

TSD: Easily people like Grant Morrison, Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Jeff Loeb, Scott Snyder, Neal Adams, just to name a few. There are so many influences. But beyond comic book authors or artists, my take is influenced by noir and authors like Jim Thompson, one of the early pioneers of the noir style.

Q: So many classic characters have had their looks changed. What has been your favorite character redesign, even if it isn't in your own book?

TSD: I really like the Wonder Woman redesign. I think it's modern but still has heavy DNA to her roots. I think the redesigns that pay homage to their origins are always the best.

Q: The New 52 was a huge success for DC, but how to you think it affected the comic book industry as a whole?

TSD: I think it gave it a sorely needed shot in the arm. It certainly sparked a lot of interest and I think that credit needs to be given to Dan Didio, Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, and Bob Harras, to name just a few, for the success of The New 52. I am very happy with how this was handled from day one and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Q: With over 75 years of stories, is it difficult discovering new ideas and places for these characters to go that haven't already been done?

TSD: Well, as a writer, you can't worry so much about what has been done already. Everything has been done already, in every form of storytelling, not just comics. It's how you make it new, your own, and told in a way that it's brand new again, is what's important. With iconic characters such as we're dealing with here, you can't really change them, but you can certainly add a new layer to them. Or accentuate something about them that hasn't been really brought out before. It's a fine line you have to walk because although we're modernizing decades old characters, they still need to be recognizable to both long time readers and new readers alike.

Q: What's it like being a writer and artist on a title? Do you find it easier than working in collaboration with someone else?

TSD: I'm definitely more in my element when I'm writing for myself. The drafts of the stories I turn in to editorial for approval are what I consider first drafts. Really, it takes about three drafts to get a story right. That's just the natural process for many writers. But this being a time restrictive business, I have to create those second and third drafts in my head while I'm doing the art. When I write for another artist, I don't really get the same opportunity to labor over the ideas. When I turn the script in, it's out of my hands for the most part. So it's a bit harder to bring in a better idea in that case, or to "call an audible" that will improve the story. My preference will always be to write for myself. But I also would like to just be the artist again at some point. I also really enjoy being the visual collaborator for a great story. So at some point I will return to that because it will allow me to focus just on the artwork.

Review
“This is your go-to book.”—Entertainment Weekly 

“Detective Comics is head-spinningly spectacular from top to bottom.”—MTV Geek

“An exciting take on Bats and Joker as they play cat and mouse through the streets of Gotham City, and a haunting last page that is extremely killer. That alone will have most readers coming back next month.”—USA Today


From the Hardcover edition.

About the Author
Tony S. Daniel decided to be a comics artist in the eighth grade, and he hasn't looked back since. After making his professional debut in 1993 on Comico's The Elementals, he has contributed to Marvel's X-Force and Image's Spawn: Bloodfeud as well as writing and illustrating his own titles Silke, The Tenth and F5, which led him into work in Hollywood. After being lured back into comics to work with writer Geoff Johns on Teen Titans, Daniel went on to draw The Flash before landing his dream job pencilling Batman. The Batcave is, he reports, surprisingly cozy.

Great detective story. Story gets a little jumpy.
By Andrew Pucci
I see some bad reviews for this book but I want this review to get attention because every one has their own tastes. I would have never picked this book up if I listened to the reviews but after reading it I can say two things. 1) I can understand the complaints from many readers about the pacing of the story. I am not a fan of introducing a new villain and then moving on to something new as soon as things start to heat up, which is what happened in this book. I am left wondering "well what about Dollmaker" and "why did they just start talking about Penguin, what does he have to do with this?". But with any good detective mystery I am hopoing these pieces of the puzzle will eventually fit and we will get to see the big picture. I am hoping that this will get better in Vol 2. 2) I thought this was a fun read and I enjoyed it. At times the inner monologue batman has with himself can be a little bit cliche? Not sure that is the right word but I found some of his lines cheesy. If you are a batman fan like myself you will still love this book and I can't wait to pick up the next one.

Atrocious writing and plotting...please DC, change the writer
By Momo
I never write reviews, but this run on Detective Comics is so horrendous that I felt compelled to write a few words.

Starting with the (somewhat) good, the artwork is decent. Dark and gritty, with some interesting layouts, it is well-suited to the subject matter. People can be divided on how good Tony Daniel's art is (his James Gordon is pretty bad), but, by and large, the guy can draw well.

Now to the bad. The writing is some of the worst you will find. I'm not expecting the literary prowess of Alan Moore, but generally the standard of writing is extremely poor, and there really is some cringe-worthy stuff ("Looks like someone was taking a bath.... a bloodbath." Really?) The plots however are far worse than the writing. There is no cohesion or direction to the plot and as a reader there is no incentive to care about what is going on. There doesn't seem to be a point to anything and many revelatory incidences are never resolved. Essentially, the book comprises random, nonsensical events barely linked together.

This edition collects issues 1-7. Issues 1-4 cover the Dollmaker arc, which is pretty terrible. Issues 5-7 cover the Penguin arc (if you can call it that), and is honestly one of the worst comic book arcs I have ever read. Beyond these issues, the series subsequently gets worse. The Two-Face back-up stories later on are laughably bad in both premise and writing (Two-Face supposedly has a legitimate chance at getting his DA job back, gets kidnapped by ninjas etc. I wish I was making this up).

In summary, this has decent art, but truly abysmal writing and plotting. I'm really disappointed and baffled that DC has allowed their flagship title to be mistreated to this extent, and I'm amazed they haven't taken Tony Daniel off the book yet, probably because the book continues to sell well, but then Detective Comics would be a high seller no matter who wrote it. I wish they'd have more respect for their product and for such a historically important series. It's Detective Comics! It should be written and illustrated by some of the absolute best talent the industry has to offer. Stay far away from this series until it gets the writer it deserves.

Faces of boring
By Sam Quixote
SPOILERS

The book is about as close to cookie-cutter Batman as you can get. It opens with Batman running across the Gotham skyline in pursuit of Joker. Cut to Arkham Asylum and Joker's in a straitjacket talking menacingly to doctors and then inevitably he escapes. Then Batman is after Penguin who's opened a new Iceberg Casino floating in Gotham Bay which leads to Penguin's arrest. The book's over. Ho hum.

Despite the inclusion of these stalwarts of Batman's rogues gallery, there are some more interesting villains thrown into the mix: Dollmaker is creepy with his collection of disfigured human dolls and the side story involving him removing Joker's face was intriguing but didn't go anywhere (probably to be explored in later volumes). There's also a weird kid called Olivia whose dead eyes were unnerving as she played on peoples' perceptions of what a pre-pubescent girl should behave like and came across as a psychopath in the early stages of development. But that's pretty much where the good parts of the book end.

The Joker storyline doesn't really go anywhere, it leads to the Dollmaker and then just peters out - presumably we'll find out what happens to Joker after his face was removed in another volume but it's still an unsatisfying plot thread. The Penguin storyline turns into a dull heist involving Snakeskin and Mayor Hady's foxy daughters. There's even a strange scene involving protestors doing a kind of Occupy Movement demonstration supporting the Joker(!).

I've read a few Tony Daniels Batman books he's scripted and drawn - "Battle for the Cowl", "Life After Death", "Eyes of the Beholder" - and like those books "Faces of Death" shows that his artistry far exceeds his writing ability. He can't seem to write an involving Batman book, it's all just surface texture propped up by his excellent artwork, it never delves deep into the characters' psyches.

"Faces of Death" looks good but doesn't have a solid storyline, it's just a mishmash of villains with Batman chasing after them to no real purpose. It's just a series of things that happen and they don't feel connected or that they're going anywhere new. Compared to Scott Snyder's "Court of Owls" with its combination of focused original storyline, taut writing and great art, and "Faces of Death" comes off as amateurish and sloppy. Here's hoping Daniels stays on as artist but is relieved of writing future titles. He just doesn't cut it.

Fits the Way You Want to Learn
By Hartley J. Jackson
In my opinion, Joe Kissell, the author of Take Control of Apple Mail in Lion, has succeeded in his goal to provide clear, helpful explanations of how to perform the most important tasks in Mail.

His organization of the material and his hyperlinks lets us learn in our own most effective way.

Each chapter is about a topic you will want to learn, but not necessarily in order. Each one begins with a brief helpful description of what it is about with links to important key interesting items within the chapter

Quick Start to Controlling Apple Mail contains links to the key information you need to quickly start setting up, reading, creating, and organizing email.

The writing in Take Control of Apple Mail in Lion is clear and conversational. You will understand what your need to know about Pop, IMAP, and iCloud Accounts. Yellow paragraphs alert you to especially interesting and important information and tips.

I found information that I might never have discovered by myself such as how a hand appears to extract a single message from within a conversation. (Tip: To open a single message from a conversation in a separate window, move your pointer over the horizontal line dividing the message header from the message content. When the hand appears, double-click. ) Would you think to use Command-equal sign and Command-dash to zoom in and out?

You will learn about new things in Take Control of Apple Mail in Lion, like the Archive command which fits well with Joe Kissell's suggestion for keeping emails,. There are hyperlinks to other sources of information such as his award winning article about organizing to get email out of the inbox. You will also learn how Address Book and iCal work with Mail.

II may never, learn all that is in Take Control of Apple Mail in Lion, but I do have a list of improvements I will make in my email including cleaning up my recipients and editing my Composing Preferences, and I have a reference in which I can quickly find what more I need to know about Mail.

I received this book from TidBITS as part of their Apple User Group support program.

Confusing; for geeks
By Michael Warshauer
I found it written for techies or geeks, and confusing to me, though a "power user", and unable to get ahold of the thick prose of the Kindle Book.

Intended to help users of Apple Mail, it ironically would require considerable study to get on the part of the user to derive any benefits.
