This year, Christmas shopping may be an especially welcome respite from the ugly events going on across the country, as mobs take to the streets because grand juries that examined evidence reached different conclusions from those reached by mobs who made up their minds without examining that evidence.
Perhaps more than in other years, shopping malls can become shopping mauls. One of the ways to make Christmas shopping less stressful is to give books as presents — after ordering them on the Internet. There is a good crop of new books to choose from this year, as well as some old favorites that can make good gifts.
For people concerned about current racial issues, Jason Riley's new book "Please Stop Helping Us" cuts through so much of the current toxic rhetoric spread by politicians, hustlers and media pundits. It is amazing how refreshing plain English and common sense can be, especially when backed up with hard facts that are seldom discussed in the mainstream media.
For parents who have a small child who is still not talking, at an age when other children have long since begun to speak, there is no better gift than the new book "Late-Talking Children" by Professor Stephen Camarata of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Professor Camarata has spent decades researching, diagnosing and treating children who are late in beginning to speak. Moreover, he himself was three and a half years old before he began to talk. Parents going through the anguish of fearing for their child's future will find this very readable new book to be like a ray of light piercing through the darkness.

Yep. Unless you’re at Barnes and Noble and the local fascist pukes stage a, ‘Die In.’ *Rolleyes*
PROUD to have this mans books on my nightstand. :)
Borrowed, ‘The Oxbow Incident’ from the Library, today. Just wanted to keep things in perspective, re: mob violence. :)
I shopped on-line for 2015 calendars today.
Does that count? LOL!
Sounds like shopping with no complications. That reminds me, I need to order my FRiend a page-a-day cat calendar.
I ordered Page-A-Days, too. Dad likes jokes and Mr. Wonderful LIVES for Trivia. I usually get one that has positive messages every day so I don’t shoot myself after reading the latest from Our Fair Capitol. ;)
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours, my FRiends! :-)
My mom sends me Cats every year.
Last year I I had Sarah Palin’s Christmas book sent to several friends A Christmas presents WHICH i purchasd on
line at Amazon.
I still send the Weather Channel calendar to my brother.
Their expressions say, “We keel you!”
It helps us keep track of what day it is.
i agree— Dr. Sowell is due credit for getting me started studying the Constitution again-after got out of the US Army. Worst mistake our local paper made was to drop his column in our newspaper.
I have had good reading experiences following Prof. Sowell’s book recommendations.
Bump for tomorrows internet shopping
Rush has new children’s books about “Rush Revere”. He mentioned them on Fox News Sunday yesterday, and lo and behold! My son had them on my granddaughter’s wish list with Amazon.
She’s getting 2 of them! (didn’t see the 3rd one there...she might already own it)
She’s a good reader for a 7-year old and I’m so glad our son is instilling this love of books in her and her sister like we did him all those years ago. :)
