Summer Reading

Note to the White House:

Please stop insulting our intelligence. I know that your entire political strategy involves your belief that the American public is collectively as stupid as a very large bag of hammers (note: we do not necessarily disagree). However, please don't expect us to believe that the president is reading absurdist novels and discoursing on existentialism amidst brush-clearing breaks.

Many have noted the irony of his choice of "reading material," Camus' The Stranger, which involves a westerner killing an Arab without remorse, but give us some credit. Camus? No.

Perhaps he was LISTENING to a cut from Billy Joel's The Stranger:

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud




No, not even that.

Perhaps
this would be more believable.
