Disneyland Closes At 35

Disneyland Closes at 35 now available in paperback.

Just a quick post to announce that Disneyland Closes at 35 is now available in paperback from Amazon.com I would love to receive comments on the book. A sequel is on the way.

Sean Hannity, Michael Savage et. al. versus the Fairness Doctrine

I must admit that the first time I heard both Michael Savage, a particularly contentious talk show personage airing out of San Francisco, and Sean Hannity, who needs no introduction, speak about the horrors of reinstalling a FCC monitored policy called the Fairness Doctrine, I was appalled by the notion. The way it was explained by both the aforementioned indicated that it was enforced censorship to the highest degree.

The original Fairness Doctrine seems, from all I can learn from other persons, such as a contentious lawyer in Nashville, is that it was a benign policy in instituted 40 or 50 years ago that simply said that only X amount of wavelength existed to assign to radio stations and that none of it could be used as a one voice, one politic, one philosophy station. Some minimal counter must needs to have been employed. If the station had 23 hours of Rush Limbaugh they had to also have 1 hour of Liberace or the maniac liberal now acting as an FBI analyst on the television series 24.

Apparently, this notion was overthrown at some point as the Fairness Doctrine has disappeared for these many intervening years. So, why bring it back?

Michael Savage and Sean Hannity say that it is being brought back by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and the entire left wing in order to silence Savage, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, and so on. The contentious lawyer in Tennessee says that this notion is madness. Is it? I don't know.

Do you? If so, post your views.

Disneyland Closes at 35

In approximately 10 days this novel will be available in paperback from Amazon.com. I wonder who will read my book. It will be interesting to determine whether or not there is a readership for this book. For those of you who come across this blog who are Senior Citizens I think you will find a remembrance of yourself in the pages of this novel. I hope you do.

Where's the Pork?

Those who wish to maintain that the current proposed legislation to effect a stimulation of the economy does not in fact contain expenditures and programs that will neither produce more jobs nor stimulate the economy are radically incorrect. The proposed legislation is jam packed with unnecessary programs, services and spending that will not help to provide jobs and will not stimulate the economy to any significant degree whatsoever. I do not see the change that President Obama proposed; however, I did not see the change that President Bush proposed.

It would be and is, absurd to argue that George Bush left us better off than we were when President Clinton departed the White House. I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor a hard line conservative nor a left wing liberal. I do not have any political allegiance to any party or any particular ideology. I am neither tree hugger nor deer hunter. I am concerned about Global Warming but I do not know the entire truth about just how severe it is. I have nothing against "going green" and I'll do my part in recycling the trash. I have little respect for people, talk show hosts, radio personalities and the like who make their living doing nothing but being critical of other people. I like people who are For Something rather than against everything; still, I think the Stimulus Package is wrongheaded and that it will be ineffective. I think crazy and irresponsible expenditures are contained within the legislation.

What do you think?
