Thought I'd just put in a quick one before settling down to the chaos of the day (surprised - anyone? Yes, chaos can also come via Skype and Gtalk right into sedate litte Aachen ... sigh, the rigors of a connected life)

Was reading about dear little Dubya's attempt at writing a memoir (sure someone had to tell him the difference between a scrapbook and a memoir) and found Letterman's take on it simply too good to be passed up. See it here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/28/letterman-takes-on-george_n_555180.html

And double trouble - Laura dear has also decided to publish her own memoir detailing her troubled times at the less-than-White House (it really must have taken inordinate courage to stay married to a man who so routinely f**ked up on such a global scale ... although I doubt that is the chief content matter of this book :-) It instead dwells on incidents we 'didn't' know about ... such as his poisoning at the G8 summit (someone in the interiors of Afghanistan is saying Bond-style 'I-expected-him-to-dhiee' read: http://ibnlive.in.com/news/george-bush-poisoned-during-g8-summit-laura/114178-2.html?from=tn) ... however I have listed a few things that came to MY head about earth-shatteringly global questions which I would like to see answered in such a monumental literary effort:

1) How does one read a book upside down? (see: pic) Especially a nursery book with mostly PICTURES??!!

2) Why are you trying to eat a kitten?

3) Exactly what deep diplomatic venture were you hoping to achieve with this?

Anyway ... sign-off time. For laughter's sake, one more.

Tata. (Not Young). Pictures later - pukka promise.
