But I got a kick out of Rove calling Bush cheap(something I remember him saying about Bush another time on something else that was small....music CDs I think).
Could be that Rove loses things, so who knows.
While I know it's required procedure on FR to blame everything on "liberals/MSM/Clinton/unions/whatever," let's just skip the high school clichees and say the writer has an ideological axe to grind.
Most people, when they see one of those clichees pop up on a thread, automatically move on to another.
That's true. One of my favorite authors is Simon Winchester who reads his own books. My favorite way to read now is to listen to audio books while I walk or do housework. But once in a while something slips and I know he's a euroweenie socialist wacko but then fortunately, he returns to recounting obscure history of Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. So far I've read/listened to Krakatoa, The Meaning of Everything (about the OED) and now The Map that Changed the World about the father of the science of geology, William Smith. All fascinating obscure history. I also have read
Isaac Newton, James Gleick
Unabridged, Audio CD
Publication Date: May 2003
salt - i wanna read it.
Salt's available at any bookstore or library. It's very cool.
i'm finishing up "coffee." I guess I should also get around to creme, sugar, and ceramics.
Actually, there was a book about sugar published back in the 70's. I can't remember the title, but it, too, was a history book of the "new" school.
