  • Cloverfield

    Pirated video that shows clearly what the monster really is. It’s been a while since we’ve posted… I know. To put it simply, Cloverfield is effin’ scary.

  • Throwing Your Vote Away

    I don’t really believe in voting. I know that’s not the most original sentiment and even sounds like the type of overwhelmingly “look how anti-establishment I am – I’m sure that no one else is as serious about it as I am” phrases for which I could call someone out. But, my argument is the […]

I must’ve been underneath a rock the last however many years thinking […]

  • George W. Bush’s January 6, 2006 Meeting with “The Old Guard”

    A reading note: The Daily Show addressed this same topic on January 11,2006. Needless to say, we were first. Without explicitly saying so, we generally avoid discussing legitimately contentious issues here at emptybookshelf.com. That’s not to say we have topics that are off-limits, just that we recognize that there are issues are both too multi-faceted […]
