    I read it as someone who previously owned it used it for porn. And that some got on the box.

    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

      Are you referring to Obama's book "Dreams [B]From[B] My Father"?

      Funny, Roman Catholics used to care about race relations in this country. You know, John F. Kennedy and all that. I guess people change.

          Just because I thought "Yes I Can" was an interesting read, doesn't automatically mean I want to read Obama's book.

            This, on the other hand, might be an interesting read. Even if you disagree with EVERYTHING the author has to say, you might actually enjoy seeing the 'evidence" of how 'wrong' he is.

              I'd much rather be reading, "Count of Monte Cristo" which I also received.

                Right, like I don't get enough of that 364 days of the year already. I can understand that perspective, but I want books that I'm going to enjoy reading.

                  So you get lots of the autobiographical writings of a sitting US president already ??

                    That probably has to be the worst gift anyone would ever give! What the **** has happened to tasteful and conservative gifts.

                      Am I going to have to Google "Dreams of my father" to understand, or is a helpful explanation forthcoming?

                          Dreams From My Father was an early version of the much better Fugitive Days, a 2001 memoir by William Ayers that chronicled his days as the leader of the Weather Underground. Ben is obviously perturbed that he was given the inferior version as a gift.

                            I got an amusingly wft? sort of gift too.

                            I received a "God Bless America" wall calendar, complete with quotes from scripture (King James) for each month. For instance, January has "Be still, and know that I am God... I will be exalted in the earth." PSALM 46:10

                            It has nice pictures, though, and it beat out the other two options available at whichever store my brother-in-law was at. It's up on the wall of my cube as I type.

                            The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
