Hehehe. I lent a left leaning friend a copy of Theodore Rex, Edmund Morris' biography of Theodore Roosevelt. He had it for two months. I bugged him to finish it because I hadn't read it yet myself. What finally worked was when I said, "it only took President Bush a couple weeks to read it."
Truth is I have no idea how long it took Bush to read the book, but it sure lit a fire under Lefty and got me my book back!
I read that one too (theodeore Rex). There is an earlier one my dad is bugging me to read that is just as good.
Another good one is 'john Adams'. The new one, forget who by. Very patriotic and indirectly discusses the essence of Conservatism.
You're a bad evil wicked person! :-)
