How is it that Krauthammer went through enough Berenstain Bears to take note of "the post-feminist Papa Bear"? A man too much time on his hands, I'd say.

But speaking of children's literature, I wonder what he made of Dubya Bush's "Decision Points". The memoir of a President so hapless, he imagines all his decisions were above average. But who instead unintentionally taught us the lesson of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Or maybe he'd like to read through Ronald Reagan's letters. A man stuck in a childlike emotional state, calling his wife "Mommy" and imagining giving weapons to Iran would make them our BFF.

this is the most excellent cover letter. it is really too bad i have an actual job (that i really actually like) b/c i could use this on the blog wherein i detailed the horrors of job searching over 35.

perhaps i will use it anyway and troll some of those obnoxious job postings that flourish in our employer dictated economy.

Reminds me of Gary Trudeau's "Quoteboy" for George Wills.

A position remarkably similar to Mel Brook's Pissboy for the King of France.

It's that yin-yang circle of life thingy.
