The Joy of Hate How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage
The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage By Greg Gutfeld
2012 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0307986969 | EPUB | 3 MB
From the irreverent star of Fox News's Red Eye and The Five, hilarious observations on the manufactured outrage of an oversensitive, wussified culture.Greg Gutfeld hates artificial tolerance. At the root of every single major political conflict is the annoying coddling Americans must endure of these harebrained liberal hypocrisies. In fact, most of the time liberals uses the mantle of tolerance as a guise for their pathetic intolerance. And what we really need is smart intolerance, or as Gutfeld reminds us, what we used to call common sense.The Joy of Hate tackles this conundrum head on--replacing the idiocy of open-mindness with a shrewd judgmentalism that rejects stupid ideas, notions, and people. With countless examples grabbed from the headlines, Gutfeld provides readers with the enormous tally of what pisses us all off. For example:- The double standard: You can make fun of Christians, but God forbid Muslims. It's okay to call a woman any name imaginable, as long as she's a Republican. And no problem if you're a bigot, as long as you're politically correct about it.- The demonizing of the Tea Party and romanticizing of the Occupy Wall Streeters. - The media who are always offended (see MSNBC lineup)- How critics of Obamacare or illegal immigration are somehow immediately labeled racists. - The endless debate over the Ground Zero Mosque (which Gutfeld planned to open a Muslim gay bar next to). - As well as pretentious music criticism, slow-moving ceiling fans, and snotty restaurant hostesses. Funny and sarcastic to the point of being mean (but in a nice way), The Joy of Hate points out the true jerks in this society and tells them all off.

The International Relations of the Persian Gulf
F. Gregory Gause III, "The International Relations of the Persian Gulf"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0521137306, 0521190231 | PDF | pages: 270 | 7.9 mb
Gregory Gause's masterful book is the first to offer a comprehensive account of the international politics in the Persian Gulf across nearly four decades. The story begins in 1971 when Great Britain ended its protectorate relations with the smaller states of the lower Gulf. It traces developments in the region from the oil 'revolution' of 1973-4 through the Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war and the Gulf war of 1990-1 to the toppling of Saddam Hussein in the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, bringing the story of Gulf regional politics up to 2008. The book highlights transnational identity issues, regime security and the politics of the world oil market, and charts the changing mix of interests and ambitions driving American policy. The author brings his experience as a scholar and commentator on the Gulf to this riveting account of one of the most politically volatile regions on earth.

The Hustlers An Explosive True Story of Gambling, Greed and the Perfect Con
Douglas Thompson, "The Hustlers: An Explosive True Story of Gambling, Greed and the Perfect Con"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0283070498 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 1.6 mb
Invitations to John Aspinall and John Burke's illegal gambling parties were the most sought after in 1950s London, as only the wealthy and well-connected were allowed past their door. When the police finally arrested them, Aspinall and Burke challenged the law and won. The subsequent legalizing of gambling interested crime boss Billy Hill and his lieutenant Bobby McKew, as Billy had a foolproof way of fixing the cards. He also had his eye on the ultimate prize, Aspinall's exclusive new club, The Clermont. Revealing for the first time how Aspinall and Hill Descriptionted to steal a fortune, this intriguing study is a riotous journey back to 1950s and 1960s London. With a cast of characters that ranges from safecracker Eddie Chapman to the reckless Earl of Derby, from croupier Louis the Rat to unlucky Lord Lucan, it vividly recreates the exploits of the gamblers and gangsters whose lives collided in the clubs and pubs of Mayfair.
