good job, pickles!

:crazy:

today's NYT interview with Mrs. B.: "Mrs. Bush said she intended to continue her efforts to promote books and reading"

so far, so good: she stopped a poetry event at the White House because some poets were (gasp) anti-war. Salinas, CA, libraries are closing for half the year and in Philadelphia they're cutting hours.

1. there are still a few libraries open in Murka, so her job is not done

carry on!

2. The First Freeloader hasn't done a goddamned thing to promote literacy

At least Nancy made an effort with "Just Say No".

3. Sounds like

She's as effective at supporting libraries as her husband is at supporting the troops.

4. and of the books she says she reads she says

they are really really good! Never mentions the plot or anything else about them. I suspect she uses some cheater paper so she can comment on them.

I live ten miles away from a small library but one which at least has more than the one in my little town. I support the little library, but often need to go to the larger which is not really large.

They are charging forty dollars for people outside of that town to have a card.
