Friend needs something to read during a Ghouliani speech at law school commencement
Edited on Sat Jan-31-09 12:03 PM by Pab Sungenis
A friend of mine who is graduating law school just found out that his commencement speaker is going to be Rudy Ghouliani.

He had originally intended to boycott the ceremony, but has instead decided to go, and sit and read a book while he is speaking, instead, and is looking for suggestions.

Knowing the best place to get a book suggestion for him was here, I've decided to delurk and ask... what book should he read as a silent protest against Rudy? It should be something appropriate, just in case word gets back to the Mayor of 9/11 what it was.

Thoughts?

1. Wow, I did not know you could copyright your comments here.

I didn't know you could copyright messages that you post to DU servers while logged into a DU user account.

That's very interesting.

By the way "2,000 Monkeys With Typewriters" is a clever name.

2. It's usually in my sig
but with the name change my sig disappeared, and I have to add it by hand. It's mainly for essays and comics that I post here. Everything you write, actually, falls under your copyright should you choose to protect it. I do, to keep certain sites from reprinting my stuff without permission.

Any thoughts on a book?

8. There's only one book to read at a Giuliani speech
Wayne Barrett's "Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani," which explains, among other things, that Rudy's dad was in the Mafia and served prison time for armed robbery.
