Christmas gift ideas

Well, we only have a few (ho-ho-ho):

1.    Tell someone who is close to you how much you love and need them and then show it

 

2.    Buy a book or two (or three) for yourself, read them quickly, and then share them with others who are close to you.  Yes, we have a few suggestions:

a.    The Best and the Brightest by David Habersham.  You can get it at your local library or buy it at – http://www.amazon.com/Best-Brightest-David-Halberstam/dp/0449908704/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418165678&sr=8-1&keywords=the+best+and+the+brightest+by+david+halberstam for a mere $14.50.  This work (not an easy read) was published in 1969 and to this day it is still the most thorough indictment of American governance, bureaucracies and bureaucrats.  It also is a living testimonial to the value of superior  investigative journalism and the need to protect anonymous sources.

b.    Pay any Price by James Risen.  It is available at http://www.amazon.com/Pay-Any-Price-Greed-Endless/dp/0544341414/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418165893&sr=8-1&keywords=pay+any+price for $16.80; just off the presses so it’s in most every store with a book section.  Risen is an investigative journalist; he has anonymous sources and at this very minute the Obama administration is prosecuting him for the “crime” of speaking truth to power and protecting his sources, including government employees too afraid to go public.  So the answer from our courageous top bureaucrats – jail him.  Please buy this book – also please email your president, congressman and senator and tell them simply this – layoff Risen.

c.    Stonewalled by Sharyl Attkisson.  You can buy it for $16.79 at http://www.amazon.com/Stonewalled-Obstruction-Intimidation-Harassment-Washington/dp/0062322842/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418166198&sr=8-1&keywords=stonewalled+by+sharyl+attkisson This book is not the most artfully written or titled work by this investigative TV journalist but it provides a remarkable education about what we call the “Hollywood media” and its ongoing pathetic propaganda process.

d.    We have others.  If interested please email me at:  njkost@yahoo.com

3.    Help out a neighbor – visit an elderly relative – play with your kids, grandkids and other little people, at their level – and mention to the young folk what happened over 2000 years ago that makes our celebration on December 25 so special. 

Merry Christmas.  May God bless you and yours.
