The Associated Press took a
survey this week to see who reads more, the Liberal or the Conservative. And in
this survey, it was discovered that liberals read an average of 8 books a year
while conservatives only read 7 books a
year.
Hmm…Very revealing. Well I guess that would explain the problem
then. Evidently the reason liberals have such stupid ideas is that they're reading
too many stupid books. I mean
honestly! Assuming this is an accurate
survey, assuming these are real books people are talking about, assuming they
aren’t counting websites like moveon.org as a book, .assuming they aren’t
counting comic books, or the Bazooka Joe strip from bubble gum wrappers, and
assuming they’re not talking about reading a map on the back of a Captain
Crunch box or reading the recipe from a Betty Crocker cake mix…So what? What difference does it make how many books
you read? What matters is the content of the books.
For all we know, the liberals could be reading Horton Hatches an Egg. In Nazi Germany Mein Kamp was a best seller.
It
doesn’t make a hill of beans of difference how many books you’ve read. Who wrote the books? What
points did the books make? Were
these points backed up with actual facts? Those
are the only relevant questions.
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
