Damn you Steve Kroft for practicing that 'gotcha' journalism! :sarcasm:

3. I usually have two or three going at once
God's Little Acre - Erskine Caldwell

The Audacity of Hope - That One

Conservatives Without Conscience - John Dean

But I'm only about twenty pages in and now I can't find it, LOL. I might have left it in the car.

6. I'm the hell reading Bugliosi: "Prosecuting GWB for Murder" on my
ipod "ears" and I'm going to re-read it until someone starts the process and enlists Vince to help him/her do it.

I even contributed money to the person who said that if she wins she will do it.

Other than that among other things I'm reading "The complete guide to your emotions and your health" which I will plow through until Pres. elect Obama is safely ensconced in the White House where, when I last marched in Washington, the roof was full of sharp shooters and though I think he might pull them off it still makes me feel like he will be safer.
He won't spend inordinate amounts of time on vacation, in a fake Western White House, at Camp David, or drunk in the Lincoln bed room.
I believe once Pres. elect Obama is inaugurated we can slowly exhale.

I'm a bit punchy right about now, seeing Barack and Michelle on 60 minutes. I don't want to wait another 67 days.
I want to have my relief now.

8. Recently finished "The Host"...
...by Stephanie Meyer.

Enjoyable read.

I love science fiction and movies/books about aliens.

This book made me think about the human condition, and the story line
really gets into your head.

16. As if people in Chicago also don't have access to pretty much of all 'em also, ya know.
It was gracious of the President Elect not to let his annoyance show through.
