This is the point from which I could never return, And if I back down now then forever I burn. This is the point from which I could never retreat, Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace. This is the point from which I will die and succeed, Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed. From now on it can never be the same as before, Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore [Immortal Technique]

Don't Read Enough?
**************************
Brian Williams of MSNBC, conducted a live interview with King George as he was touring New Orleans, this Thursday night.
Brian asked Bush several questions. But one of the gems he asked him about, was the list that was leaked by Bush's staff of the books that he had allegedly read.
Bush responded by giving a "list" of those books. But the list turned out to be, 2 very brief and general desciptions of "several philosophical books" (but couldn't name any), and "3 Shakespeare's" (again, no names were given).
All this while Bush was struggling to get the words out of his mouth. It doesn't look like the philosophy, nor Shakespeare have sharpened his articulation or intellectual ability, any.
Brian then asks him how he was able to make the transition from reading magazines to reading books on philosophy and Shakespeare.
Bush countered by saying, "The trick is that I try to keep expectations low." (huh?)
Well Mr. President, that is the one thing you are truly successful at!
Nora O'Donnell, the host of the MSNBC program that had Brian Williams and King George, commented after that interview had ended, by saying:
"How does he have the time to read philosophy and Shakespeare, while he's overseeing 2 wars, Afghanistan & Iraq, running the country, and dealing with other global issues?"
One of her guests, responded with: "I don't believe he's read those books!"
Note:
I have paraphrased the above quotes...
