Monday Book Pick: The Buntline Special: A Weird West Tale
The Buntline Special: A Weird West Tale by Mike Resnick
Executive Summary: Steampunk at the OK Corral, with Indian Medicine Men casting real Magick (for a dash of Shadowrun tossed in for flavor). Bonus points for a young Thomas Edison with a specially harded bronze mechanical arm. Other than that, it’s a pretty historically accurate recounting of the events leading up to, and the events after, the Gunfight at the OK Corral. It reminded me a lot of the movie Tombstone, to the point where I heard Val Kilmer’s Doc Holiday in my head while reading the book. This could be because both Resnick and the folks who did Tombstone did a lot of research on the topic. Even with the Steampunk Plus elements, it was a fun read.
Dieselpunk
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of Dieselpunk on Pinterest.
It looks like the old FASA RPG Crimson Skies counts as Dieselpunk these days.
A clear example of the left letting their hate override any rational thought

Meet Bainers, the New Birthers
The geniuses at Team Obama are showing their complete ignorance of private enterprise, the law, and the one well vetted part of Mitt Romney’s career — his tenure at Bain Capital.
It is well established that Mitt Romney left Bain to go salvage the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. It is also well established that his name remained on some SEC documents. This stems from winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital. It is a quirk in the law. It has been well vetted. Even FactCheck.org and the Washington Post are unpersuaded by Team Obama’s hyperbole.
Really? A felon? Hey! Let’s accuse Barack Obama of being a foreign born Muslim! There’s about the same validity to both. Meet the Bainers — they are the members of Team Obama demanding proof from Mitt Romney that he is a liar or a felon. Next they’ll ask when he stopped beating his wife.
The Bainers will not take any answer that does not show Romney to be a liar or felon…
To make it worse, this “Bainerism” is being driven by the Obama Campaign, with the consent of our Dear Leader, President Barack Hussein Obama. It highlights the fundamental dishonesty of the Obama regime, as well as their sheer desperation at this point. Why does the Obama campaign feel the need to repeatedly lie about Gov. Romney instead of running on the President’s own record?
The reality of the Tea Party
Just a reminder that the left’s lies about the Tea Party being “racist” are just that, lies.
The members of the Tea Party are a cross section of America, which is hardly surprising, since it is an authentic grass roots organization.

Monday Book Pick: Condi vs. Hillary
Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race by Dick Morris
With Drudge running the story that Dr. Rice is on the shortlist for a VP pick by Gov. Romney, I have to go with this 2005 book that details how then Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice could beat then democrat frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Obama surrogate Andrea Mitchell is educated by John Sununu on Obama’s Off Shoring

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell is desperately trying to get the Obama campaign talking points out there, but that “Evil Republican” John Sununu keeps insisting on using actual facts!

Round Up Post
Haven’t heard much about the “occupooper” movement lately, besides this: DNA found at Occupy protest linked to Sarah Fox murder
Here is a detailed list of the jobs our Dear Leader has off shored using federal “stimulus” money.
That list is missing one major instance of Obama off shoring American jobs. Remember that America is paying Russia to get our Astronauts to the ISS, because Obama killed the manned spaceflight program at NASA.
The Obama campaign, including the DNC’s so-called “spokesperson” Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, continues to repeat the lie about Gov. Romney “pioneering” off shoring. Yes, lie. The Washington Post Fact Checker gave the Obama Campaign “Four Pinocchios” , their highest rating for blatant lies, or as they put it “Whoppers.” This raises the question of why does the Obama campaign have to lie about their opponents record instead of running on Obama’s record?
Let us review the latest unemployment figures, which Barack Obama calls “a step in the right direction”:
The “official” unemployment rate: 8.2%
Hispanic unemployment rate: 11%
Black unemployment rate: 14.4%
Real Unemployment rate: 14.9%
Nobody knows whether Robert Gibbs cut the alternator belt on Gov. Romney’s bus.
