Good news and bad on Dubya's visit today

The bad news:  Yes, Former President George W. Bush is to be in town today, pushing his book, "Decision Points" locally.

The good news?

He's no longer in office.

Thank goodness.

I got to thinking about this book of his and my first thought was, how could any book be more self-serving than this one?  Coincidentally, then, this morning, I got a link to the next New Yorker magazine and what did the reviewer, George Packer, say?  "Very few of its four hundred and ninety-three pages are not self-serving."

Ah, sweet verification.

And more vindication.

I would gladly give all that up if we could just undo the 8 years he took us through, to get here.

Final note:  You should read the review, if you have the time, as it's entertaining and informative, as usual for The New Yorker.

Enjoy those temps today, y'all.
