Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir, by Mark Salter and John McCain. Like many Americans, I admire John McCain. This book recounts his Navy days, and ends with his release from a Vietnamese POW camp. Considering current events, reading this book makes me wonder if there will be another John McCain in twenty years.

Bush at War by Bob Woodward. Hm. President ruling on "gut instinct". Yikes?

please do something today

Side note: last night was Winston-Salem's poetry slam finals. I became this year's grand slampion! Other slammers will appreciate the fact that this was with all new-this-year work, so I'm pretty happy about that. Remember, nothing bad ever happens to a writer. It's all material.
