Book review: 'Tipping Point' author tackles the secret of success

Quincy Morgan — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:27:30 +0000

If the old saw is that you should always remember where you came from, Malcolm Gladwell has an addendum: Don’t just remember it — study it.

Gladwell’s new book, “Outliers: The Story of Success”, presents a provocative thesis on achievement: The best and brightest, he posits, are blessed with a modicum of God-given talent. Their success, though, is ultimately a product of their surroundings — their cultures’ idiosyncrasies, their religion, their school’s access to technology.

Book Review: Do the Right Thing by Mike Huckabee

Lloyd Garrinson — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:32:00 +0000

In “Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America,” Mike Huckabee opens up aboot his life as a pizza delivery boy in Brooklyn amidst the racial turmoil of the late 1980’s. Actually, that’s not true, but Gov. Huckabee had to know what he was in for when he named his book after a Spike Lee movie. No, “Do the Right Thing…” was mainly aboot Huckabee’s 2008 campaign for president and I have to say, homeboy sure sounds bitter.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Huckabee. He has ideas and a voice that I feel is vital to the Republican Party, and they’re ideas that it’s hard to get people to listen to. Every interview with Huckabee can be broken into two parts: Part 1 is the reporter criticizing Huckabee for talking aboot religion, Part 2 is the same reporter then asking him nothing but questions aboot religion. Mike Huckabee literally had to ask people to ask him aboot education and healthcare.

Michelle Obama Book Review

“I will never forget the unabashed affection the president-elect displayed [Election Night] as, with the whole world watching, he said, ‘I would not be standing here without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama.’

…I thought of the 20 year-old Michelle who wondered in her college thesis if she would always feel like an outsider. I thought of the Michelle Obama of last February who said she was really proud of her country for the first time because it seemed that hope was making a comeback…
