    damn, this guy is OBSSESSED! Check out the link at the bottom of the article page. I can totally agree with people wondering about the policies of the president, and even not liking him as a person, but insulting someone's daughters and his family is going a wee bit far... hard to agree with his "I'm a nice guy" comment after reading his list...

    Now you've gone and conjured up some awful memories of some truly awful literature. I hated being forced to read those awful books in school. It's a wonder some of that stuff didn't turn me off to reading permenantly. I've always been partial to Mark Twain's definition: "a book nobody wants to read but everybody wishes to have read."
