Latest read
Just completed Dick North's The Mad trapper of the Rat River.

A compelling book that is difficult to put down. Dick North did an excellent job researching the facts behind the Mad Trapper of Yukon fame. He busted many of the myths and opened up leads that led to knowing once and for all who this person was. He linked him with sufficient evidence to convince me that Albert Johnson was one and the same as Johnny Johnson(of the Wild Bunch). Johnny robbed a bank in Montana, eluded a posse to get caught stealing horses in Wyoming. Lucky not to have swung on the spot he served time in prison in Wyoming then to Montana to serve time there for the bank robbery. Johnny was not done with prison time and he served some more time in San Quinton and Folsom prisons. He migrated Northward to finally meet his end in the Yukon.

MY Next Read
The Late Great USA by Jerome Corsi

The non fiction book is an eye opener. Corsi also wrote the book on the Swift Boat history of John Kerry(unfit for command).
I have to wonder what it will be like if our leaders lead us over a cliff. The cliff being to establish us as part of a greater North American Union(as similar to European Union). We lose our borders with Canada and Mexico and our soveriegnty with it. Just think what that'll do to our bill of rights we take too often for granted. To keep and bear arms will be targeted for extinction(Canada won't abide with that remaining). Our dollar will be replaced with the Amero.
Far fetched?-Bush has met several times with Mexico and Canada on this very scheme. This may help to explain the Bush position on illegal immigration and his reluctance to enforce the border. In this he is on the wrong side and let's remember this when the election draws closer-who will put on the stops to this insanity.

The Mad Trapper was one mean dude, no one messed with his dog! While running from the law in Wyoming he was also associated with the Hole In The Wall Gang, in fact he was married or lived with the sister of Flat Nose Curry. But she was kidnapped by Blue Duck and was never recovered, some feel that is when he started killing people for just the sake of killing them. Although, he never rode with Butch or Sundance, he did play domonoes with the Sun Dance Kid and lost with a socore of 525 - 110. They never spoke after that, the Mad Trapper thought he had been cheated and would not ride with a cheating outlaw.

As for your current read, have you re-newed your membership with the John Birch Society? I suggest you switch your radio channel off the talk stations and listen to Lawrence Welk. Next you will be telling us that we are going to have a Queen for President - Queen Rodham perhaps. Slow down, have a cup of coffee, go around and kick your tires - things will be o.k.
