Reviewing Personal Injuries

Personal Injuries is another look at the legal system written by Scott Turow. After reading Personal Injuries, I discovered it was Time Magazine’s fiction book for the year of 1999. While I liked Personal Injuries, I can’t imagine thinking it was the best fiction book of an entire year.

Democracy is Failing on Both Sides of the Atlantic

The verdict for this episode is: Western democracies don’t represent the will of the people. In this episode, I discuss how the results in the recent UK election and those in some recent American elections don’t reflect the votes cast by the people. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/Democracy.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 6:38 — 3.0MB) |… Continue reading Democracy is Failing on Both Sides of the Atlantic

Explaining the UK’s Election Results

Given how Boris Johnson’s “win” is being portrayed on both sides of the Atlantic, I feel compelled to share facts about what actually happened. The truth is nothing like what the media and pundits are saying.

Centrist Democrats are Repeating Obama’s Mistake

The verdict for this episode is: the public option for health care will not allow people to keep their private health insurance. In this episode, I discuss why claims that people would be able to keep their private health insurance if a public option was added allowing them to buy into Medicare are false. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/Newcentrist_lie_Recording.mp3Podcast:… Continue reading Centrist Democrats are Repeating Obama’s Mistake

Reviewing a Noise Downstairs

A Noise Downstairs is a thriller by Linwood Barclay. As a fan of Barclay’s writing, I was looking forward to A Noise Downstairs. While the ending wasn’t at all believable–especially since it wasn’t well explained–I really enjoyed the story.

The Marching Season is the second in Daniel Silva’s Michael Osbourne series. Even though I love a good spy novel, the Osbourne series isn’t doing it for me. The Marching Season was all right, but I don’t believe I’ll continue with the series.
