 Censorship: The Threat to Silence Talk Radio $24.00 Conservative talk show programmer Brian Jennings raises valid concerns over possible reinstatement of the "Fairness Doctrine", which in all fairness, threatens our basic First Amendment rights, as Americans. This is another example of big government wielding power in areas that infringe on our civil liberties and personal freedom. They've done enough meddling; every time they interfere with our privacy and our Constitutional rights, we've also got to foot the bill. How revolting. This country is already well on its way towards the disastrous effects of socialism; the more programs and policies that are inflicted upon us, the less civil liberties we have and the less personal income we're left with. It's a scenario that poses a very real and present danger to our psyche. As Jennings implores, along with author Brad O'Leary in Shut Up, America!: The End of Free Speech, it's time for big government to start shrinking; not expanding. We're running the risk of becoming a nation of sheep, with no clear voice of reason to follow; just the bleating from the masses. Censorship is just another way our government has the means to turn this country into a totalitarian state; we simply can't afford to let that happen.  Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh / TIME Cover: November 01, 1993, Art Poster by TIME Magazine $15.95 The most eagerly awaited event in the editorial cycle at TIME Magazine is always the selection of the cover. The best covers capture the zeitgeist of the week while surviving the judgment of history. As browsing this collection of TIME cover art prints shows, TIME is as good a record as any of who and what mattered over the past 80-plus years. And so when TIME captures a person, an event or a trend within its iconic red borders, the magazine is adding that extra dose of significance that no other publication can quite match. That is one reason why the original artwork for more than 800 TIME covers now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Thanks to an amazing roster of artists, photographers and graphic designers, from TIME's earliest charcoal drawings of cover subjects to its later black-and-white photography to the more recent paintings and stunning color photography, TIME covers have always been, sometimes quite literally, works of great art. And, while the times may change, the TIME cover, with its iconic red border, has never lost its power to immediately send the signal that this person or event or idea is important to our lives, that in some way history is being made before our eyes.  Chickaboomer $1.99 Marty Davis not only is gorgeous. but she's got a wry wit which she employs to skewer the fools and tools in media and politics. I like that she tackles these issues without the tedious invective and ideological zealotry. Chickaboomer is highly addictive! I find it far more compelling than, say Maureen Dowd. |
