Funny about the news story that the US is 12th in literacy rates in
the world. Just when we have an illiterate occupying the WH. Even more ironic that Laura is pushing a 'reading' program when husband is probably the most 'ill-informed and un-read' man to occupy the WH in our lifetime.

3. It's that high?
I wonder what the percentage is of Americans that actually put that literacy to use. A high number of people I have met through the years have told me that they never read, and it is unusual to go to someones house and see bookcases full of books. I've had people remark on mine as though it is a phenomenon they've never seen before.
