If you had to buy Dubya a book, what would you get him?
Okay, here's the scenario: It's a gift-giving occasion for Mr. Bush and somehow or another you have to get him something. (You have no choice in this matter. I'm sorry, but you don't.) You've decided to get him a book. Pretend he can read.

What book would you choose?

I choose...



"How to Survive and Excel in Prison (Within and Without)" by Abdur-Rauf A. Rashid. Something tells me he's going to need this. I actually would have picked "How to Survive in Prison" by David Allan Coe, but Amazon didn't have it. This book...



"You Got Nothing Coming: Notes from a Prison Fish" by Jimmy Lerner would be a good second choice

If I wanted to get him a second book, I would choose

"Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row." I figure that most of the people in this book are guys he signed off on, so he might find it kinda fun to leaf through.

1. A nice
color-the-Bible-by-numbers coloring book so that he would have something to do during all those boring meetings with all those old boring guys who ask all those silly and hard to answer questions.

2. Curious George...
Hmmm...That might be too advanced. On second thought some type of pop up book would suffice....

6. The Bible
If he read it, he might realize his ideological views are all wrong.
