I would like us to help the president out. Please list the books
he should include in his presidential library.

Of course there are the obvious ones:

My Pet Goat

Life Without Training Wheels

See Dick and Jane

Run, Spot, Run

What others?

3. A book with blank pages...
...so it looks Presidential, but he doesn't actually have to read anything.

Curious George books might fit from two perspectives. One is the obvious similarity of the protagonist to Monkey Boy. Second, Bush only has to read phonetically. Hey, it helped ME when I was 4!

6. How about some how-to books like...
How to coast through life as a rich dry drunk or
How to surround yourself with adoring women to make-up for the fact that your mother does not acknowledge your existence or there's always
How to lose 3 presidential debates when you're being fed the answers by a team of people.

I think these books have definitely helped George, and they must be in his library. On second thought there is no actual evidence this man can read. (My Pet Goat was upside down at first) Why should he have a library? He should get the first presidential Opium Den. I think that would be more appropriate. e
