Miscellaneous Musings
The recent showdown over the debt ceiling and its most unfortunate outcome is neatly summed up for me by a scene in an old episode of "The Flintstones." In this particular episode, Fred and Barney plan to watch the fights on television. At the appointed time, they sit down at Fred's television set, all ready for the big bout . . . only to have an announcer come on and report that the station is being blacked out for a 25-mile radius, with only the promise of updates on the fight in the form of round-to-round reports. To entertain the viewers in the blacked-out area, the station offers a musical act . . . Alice Blue Jean and her Magic Banjo.
Fred, furious, yells, "Oh no, you don't!" He responds to being cheated out of the fight by throwing a vase at the TV set. "That's for Alice Blue Jean and her Magic Banjo!" he exclaims.
Which pretty much explains my attitude toward a debt ceiling agreement that gave the rich and powerful even more breaks at everyone else's expense. I was expecting to see President Obama go to the mat and fight it out to preserve tax increases on the wealthy and spending on various social programs, but instead there was no fight (although Obama insists that he's going to fight for us and keep us posted about it!) . . . and all the middle class got was more song and dance. When House Speaker John Boehner crowed about getting nearly everything he wanted, I wanted to throw something at the TV set.
Just like Fred Flintstone.The Tea Party is ascendant, and the progressive movement is in a shambles. And all the middle class can do is get angry and throw a fit. If this crap keeps up, Americans are going to do more than just throw things at their TV sets.

Reviews for "How to Activate the Power of the Amulet of Strength"
1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really excited to read "Amulet of Strength" as I'm a fan of fantasy novels, but I found myself sorely disappointed. The plot seemed weak and predictable, with no real surprises or twists. The characters were one-dimensional and I struggled to connect with any of them. Additionally, the writing style was lackluster and the pacing felt off. Overall, I just couldn't get into this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Tom - 1/5 - "Amulet of Strength" was a complete let-down for me. The world-building was poor and the descriptions were incredibly lacking, making it difficult to picture the setting in my mind. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the interactions between characters came across as awkward. The story had potential, but it fell flat due to the weak execution. I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it did not deliver.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I found "Amulet of Strength" to be a tedious read. The pacing was incredibly slow, with long stretches of mundane filler scenes that added little to the overall plot. The writing was overly descriptive, dragging out the story unnecessarily. The protagonist was uninteresting and lacked depth, making it hard for me to invest in their journey. There were moments of potential, but they were overshadowed by the book's overall lackluster nature. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for an engaging fantasy read.
4. Chris - 1/5 - I couldn't even finish "Amulet of Strength." The writing style was convoluted and confusing, making it difficult to follow the plot. The characters were forgettable and their actions often didn't make sense. Additionally, the world-building was poorly done, with little explanation or depth. I found myself constantly questioning what was happening and why, ultimately leading to frustration. This book was a disappointment and I wouldn't waste my time on it again.
