A Prescription for the Protesters: Review of Liberty and Tyranny

     Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark R. Levin is a concise book that outlines his own opinions and reflections on the current state of the United States government. He outlines and reflects on how the United States has strayed from its founding principles that the framers of the Constitution put in place, and he implores that in order to reverse what has happened there must be a return to conservative beliefs in individual freedoms. On the surface this book appears to be conservative Republican propaganda that has gained momentum in light of the Obama administration, however the book is an in-depth analysis of what has gone wrong and why it cannot continue. Furthermore, Levin states that, from the very first page of the book, this is his personal opinion and that he does not intend to give birth to totally new theories but rather reflect his conclusions based on decades of observation, exploration, and experience.

Facebook Deals

Today Facebook has released Deals, a daily deal service to compete with Groupon and LivingSocial. It has gone live in five test cities today: Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego and San Francisco according to the New York Times. Facebook Deals is a service very similar to industry leader Groupon in that it hosts several daily deals across the country offering deep discounts (usually a least 50% off) at local businesses. Shortly after Groupon declined an offer from Google rumored to be around $6 billion earlier this year, rumors have been surrounding the web about daily deal services from both Google and Facebook. Facebook has joined several other copycats attempting to get a piece of the booming group deals industry. I see this as a great move for Facebook and here’s why.
