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.

Clay - Great American Hero, or Terrorist Threat?

First, fuck you. It is a real letter.

This is my first address to the Infantry of the Army of Reason, the Gource's massive and ever-growing support base of readers, those little right-thinking soldiers who make this all possible - each of whom, in his own small way, is pushing us closer to That Time. I'm sure many of you subscribe to the country's diversionary altar of entertainment, the sporting pastimes, and so may have seen espn.com's recent outrageous cultural claim.
I'm not here to argue about the merits of their assertion. There are other, less respectable organizations for that. Frankly, I do not care to know who created 'rap' and am not sorry to see two of the worst cultural influences of the last forty years lumped together. Rather, the article made me reflect at the troubling way that the perception of Cassius Clay, alias Muhammad Ali, has changed over those years. It seems a shame that a man who refused to go to war for his country is now acclaimed as a national hero, and a brash, disrespectful man who constantly proclaimed himself the greatest of all time and called his opponents gorillas is now held to have created a major musical movement.

Clay could not prevent these damning pictures from getting out.

As an added offense, ESPN has enlisted another now-respected agitator to narrate (or as these people say, M.C.) the proceedings, namely Carlton Ridenhour, alias Chuck D. Like Clay, Ridenhour was imprisoned after refusing his patriotic duty to go to war for his country. (Ridenhour rejected a tour in the Gulf War in 1990, scandalously commenting in the press, "I'm a black man, and I can never be a veteran" before being deservedly locked up. Know your facts.) They've also recruited noted public enemies Al Sharpton and Sidney Poiter, aiming to make this program as offensive as possible.

Unfortunately, only one of these men was assassinated.

Of course the most troubling aspect of Clay's life is his religion, one has has been constantly at odds with our own. Are we not, in fact, at war with Islam all over the world? While Clay has always claimed to advocate pacifism, I hold with this upstanding journalist's good work on the subject and ask Clay, in Beck's words, to prove to me and all of us good Christian Reason-Soldiers that he is not a terrorist. We have a thing called burden of proof in this country, Mr. Clay, and also a right to deport or imprison possible enemies of freedom like yourself. We are not fooled by your put-on, pretended illness, which is surely merely a front to make you seem harmless. Clay is not the first terrorist to hide behind a physical disability. It is nearly time for the Army of Reason to mobilize against people like the venerated Clay. Will you be ready?Clay presiding over a jihadist religious ceremony.
