There's been some fuss about the presidential summer reading list. Evidently, Prez has graduated from My Pet Goat to Camus' The Stranger. However, anonymous sources tell me that this was a miscommunication, and that Bush has actually slogged his way through this.
My source tells me that, for extra credit, the president contributed a customer review under the pseudonym "A reviewer":
I think The Stranger should be 5 stars because is a great book!!!!!!!
What a great book The Stranger is!! Chris Van Allsburg is GREAT at making stories, I liked this one the best!!
Lest we go overboard in deriding our stupid, stupid president, let me remind you that he did take time to pore over some serious historical documents while on vacation.

I think I might also be an exister, because to doubt it would mean that I was a doubter, and doubters are necessarily existers qua existers which doubt.
