One of my Favorite Coin Series
I love half dollars in general - silver (pre-1965), of course. I love Walking Liberty halves because of their beauty but many of them are pricey, especially in higher mint states or proofs. Franklins are beautiful, too, especially proofs. Many of the business strikes (even uncirculated) have what I consider to be unattractive toning or dullness. Not sure why this is as I am not a true expert. But the later proof Franklins are very affordable and represent terrific bargains (look for PR67 and above). The earlier proofs (1950-1953) are quite expensive. Here's one thing that bothers me nearly fifty years after the fact: The assassination of President Kennedy was a national tragedy, no doubt. But why did Congress see fit to remove a great historical figure (one of the founding fathers) from the half dollar in favor of JFK? Seems to have been a "raw deal" for Benjamin Franklin.

An Excellent, Well-documented Indictment of the Obama Regime
This is a great book. David Limbaugh is one of the few pundits whose articles I go out of my way to read. I appreciate his writing style and the book is well-researched and written. The problem I have with this book is the same as I found with Michelle Malkin's "Culture of Corruption" - I can only read so much of it in one sitting. The subject matter got me so darned p***ed off, I couldn't see straight. It is not as though a conservative needs MORE reasons to detest Obama. But this book will surely throw gasoline on the flames. I put it in the same league as Levin's "Liberty & Tyranny. Both excellent reads.

Great Series From the 1960's!
The Fugitive was a great series from the 1960's. The story of Dr. Richard Kimble (played by David Janssen) who was on the lam after being convicted of murdering his wife. The movie with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones from 1993 was excellent - but it wasn't the same. I was very young when the series originally aired from 1963-1967 and do not really remember it from its original run on TV. I remember seeing it in syndication in the mid-1970's; that is when I really started enjoying it. Then, around 1990, A&E began airing it daily. That was when I really became a fan as I had taped a number of them. The first season was my favorite. It just ticked me off when it came out on DVD and they split the seasons into two volumes each. There are some wonderful episodes in Volume 1, also (See Hollywood and Die with Brenda Vaccaro, for instance). I paid good money for Volume 1 from Amazon but got a good deal on eBay for Volume 2. My favorite episode on Vol 2 is the two-part "Angels Travel on Lonely Roads". The late Eileen Heckart's performance was, in my opinion, worthy of an Emmy. But, all in all, The Fugitive featured great stories, great acting, great direction, and a number of great guest stars over the run of the series. It is definitely a period piece (the first four seasons were produced in black & white). And it is one of the few series that actually came to a conclusion when, in the final episode in 1967, Dr. Kimble actually caught the man responsible for murdering his wife. Good stuff!
