Will You Be The First in Your Regiment, Congregation, or Country Club to Own Sensible Publications' Very Latest Release?

Well?
In this age of radical change in dissemination, isn't it comforting to know that there is still a reliable arm of the printed word, one as yet un-sullied by the rampant liberalism in the media? That arm is Sensible Publications, proud offshoot of the Grimary Gource, and it exists to bring you, discerning and loyal reader, books that can be unilaterally trusted. The first release explored and ultimately, of course, solved, a complex subject that has compelled right-minded scholars for decades - how to more effectively facilitate the elimination of one of history's great problems. The world trembles at the much-anticipated upcoming appearence of A Life Without Mistakes, the autobiography of Guiles Gonoughan, Leader of the Army of Reason.

Today, Sensible Publications presents its second release -- again written by myself, Gunðer Gastergack, historian and Captain of Infantry in the Army of Reason:

The Forgotten Victims of Jackie Robinson, by Gunðer Gastergack.

The Yankees were forced to sell six-time All-Star Ewell Blackwell to Kansas City to make room for colored player Elston Howard. A heartbroken Blackwell was pushed into retirement and spent the last years of his life in a lunatic asylum.

In a landmark work, Gastergack has explored one of American baseball's most overlooked paradoxes: that the much-ballyhooed integration of the sport resulted in the loss of the jobs of dozens of capable, experienced men who were merely trying to provide for their families. The average sports fan thinks of the so-called heroics of Robinson and Larry Doby, but what is left unsaid is the fact that for every new black player entering the major leagues between 1947 and 1959, another man had to be let go by the club. Here, the stories of these men are told for the first time.
Gastergack introduces us to men like veteran Dodgers infielder Billy Sullivan, who was just trying to play one more year to pay for his son's operation before being cut to make room for Jackie Robinson. Here too is the story of Dutch Leonard, venerable twenty-year veteran, drinking himself to death after being callously released to make way for Ernie Banks.
The book contains not only heartrending stories like these, but also the larger picture. Gastergack compares this situation to the laying off of Americans in favor of overseas labor that plagues our country today. The Forgotten Victims of Jackie Robinson will forever change the way you view baseball's fallen color line.


Available in Hardcover Only. 289 pages, plus 20-page color insert featuring pictures of players and their families who lost their jobs to blacks. Sensible Publications, 2007.

Sensible Publishing Announces New Release.

You loyal readers are assuredly in a continued state of mild euphoria as we all await the next prophetic words from the leader of our ever-growing Army of Reason, Guiles Gonoughan, as dispensed as though from God on High through periodic publication of his autobiography, A Life Without Mistakes. What you may not know is that this long-awaited tome, which will soon assume an honored place next to the King James Bible in sensible bookshelves everywhere, is but one upcoming publication for newly-established Gource arm Sensible Publications. It is my pleasure to announce to the assembled Army of Reason, as Moses once did from his mountain-top, that the truth is about to trickle-down from the Almighty through His Agents.

The first upcoming work to be available from Sensible Publications, and to be offered in installments here at the Grimary Gource, is written by myself:

The Efficient Solution: Solving Eichmann and Himmler's Logistical Problems, by Gunðer Gastergack.

Himmler always looked very sensible.

Summary: Scholars have long agreed that Nazi allocation of valuable resources to extermination camps and especially to the railroad transportation of Jews and others diverted the economy and the efforts of troops at the front. Some have even suggested that it was the High Command's extrordinary commitment of time, money and men to solving the Jewish Question that caused the Reich's military defeats. In this ambitious new text, Gastergack takes us into the mechnanics of the Reich and offers new perspectives on how the Nazis could have more efficiently disposed of their unwanted citizens while simultaneously increasing the war effort. Join Gastergack as he lays out the blueprint that should have been taken to ensure a German victory. Available in Hardcover only. 538 pages, Sensible Publications, 2007.

Production Values - What happened to them?

I was recently shown the following by a person claiming to be promoting the "Future of Television".





Now, I don't have the most experience with this machine, of course, aside from a very few shows of a sensible political identity. However, as a captain of infantry in the Army of Reason, and, furthermore, generally a person with correct opinions, I felt compelled to investigate this supposed future with the critical, knowing eye for quality that I am known to possess. But what I found was not a proper future at all - certainly one worlds removed from That promised Time toward which we all strive. Rather, what I have uncovered is surely another compelling sign of the pernicious decay that rages, unchecked by all but the Gource, in the senseless wasteland around us.
The eighteen minute barrage of tasteless concepts, clumsy dialogue, offensive music and overdone chase scenes that is undeservedly styled an 'episode' is a "Muffles Production". Now, just what is "Muffles?" Certainly no arm of a proper production company, nothing so accomplished as a Selznick International Pictures but rather obviously a brace of ungrateful schoolboys "on a lark" or whatever the current argot is among the unwashed.
What brave new world is this, where any two idiots can film 'television' themselves and foist it on an unresisting internet? Certainly not one in which the people in it can recognize quotations from The Tempest, nor similarly-named unrelated Renaissance paintings. "Six Months" is another sample of an uncultured world, and as much should be avoided, censured, and forcibly removed from our Inter-waves.
