Ok, I will admit it. Sometimes over the weekends, I do not have a life. However, it has been a Watergate Weekend. I have linked this to Wikipedia for those who do not know what Watergate is. First of All, it is interesting, but even after 35 years, and after most of the men who were involved are deceased (Except G. Gordon Liddy & John Dean), there are similar themes.
First of all, there was a conversation about Watergate on “American Prespectives” on C-SPAN. The link would not attach, so I will attach this link and then go down and select the American Prespectives link.
Second, there is a new book, The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate, In this book, as explained in Q & A, this is the first biography about John Mitchell, President Nixon’s right hand individual. It is interesting. Here is the Q & A Link.

Hello World. I am Baxter’s Brother and I am a C-SPAN Addict (Hi Baxter’s Brother). Anyway, there are alot of things on C-span.org. It is addicting. Now many non-politico’s say “Oh C-SPAN, you mean hearings, HOW DREADFUL!” You just want to say, “Look Media stuge, C-SPAN helps those who want to want to think on their own.” But you don’t. Want something to see what is interesting: Check out Q&A here. Love Books, Over the weekend, BookTV.org has alot of interesting authors on C-SPAN. It is a great resource. I think what really hooked me was in 2000 where I got to see what an Actual Iowa Caucus was. Here are regular people, with their own problems, hopes and dreams, coming together to see who would be the best candidate. They talk issues with no spin. No screaming and shouting & they respect each other. The young (God did I just say that) activists who are so passionate get involved. I remember in 2000 or 2004, a Kucinich supporter could not get a group together and literally cursed on TV. It was shocking, but shows how passionate people are and it is definitely humbling compared to some of the political shouting that happens today. ENJOY.
