Another good reason


why they shouldn't vote for Bush...Here in an interesting article on a new controversial book, showing why we shouldn't mess with the Bushes --

But, as one of W's Yalie frat brothers tells Kelley, it's not the substance abuse in Bush's past that's disturbing, it's the "lack of substance ... Georgie, as we called him, had absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn't interested in ideas or in books or causes. He didn't travel; he didn't read the newspapers; he didn't watch the news; he didn't even go to the movies. How anyone got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me." New Yorker writer Brendan Gill recalls roaming the Kennebunkport compound one night while staying there looking for a book to read - the only title he could find was The Fart Book.

So is that where the fundamentalist rhetoric of USes and THEMs comes from, as well as the even more interesting authoritative claim over what is evil? No wonder.
