barak obama is muslim, or Why the Fuck Should it Matter

the NYT is running a comment thread inspired by a CBS poll which asked the presidential candidates to select ONE book they consider essential to take to the White House, **other than the Bible**.

readers are asked to propose their shortlist of books that a would-be president should read before tackling the country's economic and financial state.

my favorite response so far is the following:

A good start (for America) would be:

1. The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins, &
2. God is Not Great, by Christopher Hitchens

All else follows…

I don't know, I've having a time warp of my own. Apart from the gym and some sleeping I feel like I haven't exactly left this spot. This must be how my mother feels when she's in front of the cake bin.
If I had a camera handy I'd take photo of the front of my Dapple, it is a a veritable bunting wall of stickies.
