SheepKilla 473 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 For the book-reading crowd here (AKA the non-Democrat posters): What books are you reading during the quarantine? I'm almost done with Catch and Kill. Has rave reviews on Google, Goodreads, Amazon, etc. It's about how the Harvey Weinstein story broke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepKilla 473 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I never realized the Weinstein story was so crazy. Basically, it was basically a real-life and confirmed conspiracy. For example, one of my fav. parts: As the story was developing, Ronan Farrow (main reporter who broke it) was confiding in a friend, famous lawyer, and advocate of sexual abuse survivors: Lisa Bloom. During their calls she asked him for more details and info on victims he was talking to, supposedly so she could recommend lawyers and services. Once the story gets out, guess who is listed as one of Weinstein's lawyers representing him? Lisa Bloom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepKilla 473 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just moved on to Dune today for the first time. So far, great. 32 minutes ago, GeorgeW1000 said: I'm reading The Road To Serfdom by Fredrick Hayek Sounds interesting. Haven't heard too much about him, though Wiki says he was a big deal in economic theory. Looks like the 20th + 21st centuries went in the opposite directions he was advocating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like Hayek a lot and I wonder if I should replace him with the people in my sig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I hope that scum Dr. Yueh will pay with his life for this treason against the royal bloodline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
