Salt?? (4.00 / 3)

He's reading a book about salt? What, he found a word he could sound out?

  He must be in shape... he's undergoing a lip marathon.

    I think there are lots of pictures. Pictures of salt and salt shakers and pillars of salt and Salt Lake and....

        that Chimpy can color inside the lines? I'll bet he needs Bab's help.

        pages, tear up countries. Heck, what's the difference? So long as he's having fun.

- Dowd was a journalist first... (4.00 / 3)
  
  ...and this piece marks a stylistic return to that early sober style. I think she writes a devastating description of father and son here. This is a very strong column from a political point of view, and goes far beyond any of the wild fun she had at Clinton's expense.

- Salt - to Ghandi (none / 1)
  
  I wonder if he'll read the history of Salt all the way to Ghandi - prolly not ... he'll fall asleep.

- He probably picked it out... (none / 0)
  
  ....thinking it was a history of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT).

  - I Doubt (4.00 / 2)
    
    if he would read a book about strategery. The book is probably called "Salt: the Key to a Perfect Margarita."

  I doubt that he's even reading it. He probably wouldn't even like the books-on-tape version.
