Try to restrain your excitement - Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and John Kasich are all writing books.
Think how many trees are going to die for ... what? And then there's the carbon footprint. All those trucks taking all those thousands of books to warehouses and stores, then picking them up after they don't sell and taking them to some place to be pulped - at which point maybe they can at least be recycled into something more useful, like toilet paper.
Let's start with Kerry's proposed book. It's going to be his "first memoir," which you could take as a threat - there may be a sequel! Sadly, as someone pointed out yesterday, Kerry's obvious title is already taken - "American Gigolo."
You'll be surprised to learn that he plans to mention his service in Vietnam, not to mention a "deep behind-the-scenes" take on his years as secretary of state. ...
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
