Reining In The Imperial Presidency, by House Committee on the Judiciary (UK link)
Book Description Through transcripts, memos, and analysis, Representative John C. Conyers, Jr. and the House Judiciary Committee reveal how the Bush administration again and again assumed more power than the Constitution allows, and circumvented the traditional checks and balances of our system. From ignoring laws that forbid torturing, to determining that the president himself—:not the courts—can decide the reach of the law, to using creative counselors to recast the statutory law or the Constitution itself, the administration's approach to power was, at its core, little more than a restatement of Richard Nixon's famous rationalization of presidential misdeeds: "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." Reining in the Imperial Presidency includes forty-seven separate recommendations, including calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.Conyer writes, "The Constitution has been sorely tested over the last eight years. But . . . I am confident in our capacity to self-correct. Doing so will require much hard work and diligence, and that effort only continues with the release of this Report. Our work is far from complete." Last edited by koland; 07-01-2011 at 03:24 AM. |

The Thirteenth Gift, by Charlene Costanzo
Book Description While on assignment in Eastern Europe, Claire, a U.S. journalist, learns of a local legend. The deceptively simple fable about the thirteenth gift has a profound effect on Claire, which soon transforms her marriage, her work, and the way she sees the world. The Thirteenth Gift is both a cautionary tale and an inspirational fable as it shows a way through the perilous consequences of greed, arrogance, and abuse of power to an uplifted state of consciousness and community. The Thirteenth Gift invites readers to renew their own sense of wonderment, which can lead to freedom from fear and a greater experience of hope, beauty, and joy in daily life. Like the message of the award-winning book, The Twelve Gifts of Birth, this novella from Charlene Costanzo reminds readers to see the dignity that is inherent in themselves and others. Hot Rods: Gay Erotic Stories, by Sean Laurence Book Description Turn it on, get it on and get off - Hot Rods wastes no time in its explicit stories of muscled men on the prowl. In an e-book exclusive, Sean Laurence's book of pocket erotica delivers a payoff that you can savor for a pounding good time. The construction workers in Kiernan Kelly's "Sandhogs" show how hot it can get in the tight confines of an underground shaft. A special agent protects and serves a perp in Hank Edwards' sizzling "Frisk." Jay Starre's story, "Between Shots Fired," is a searingly sexy tale of lust in the trenches between a sergeant and his private. Pepper Espinoza's "Chrome-Obsessed" features a biker cub turned on by hard steel and a road dog with many miles under his belt. Devoted to mind-blowing biceps and boners, Hot Rods is a hard-charging thrill ride full of masculine men who crave each other. |
