My apologies to everyone worldwide. I don't remember being bribed with stuffed crust pizza just for reading a couple of books....I think that's a rural myth. RIF changed my life when I read "Watership Down" in the 4th grade. Terrifying. Bush is a jackhole. Pizza Hut started in my home town of Wichita, Kansas. My apologies to everyone worldwide.

That man takes anti-intellectualism to new and exciting levels. Wow, just when you think President Shit For Brains can’t step any lower.

Maybe that was only the midwest. Um, Laura Bush declared her movement to be fighting illiteracy in this country when she became First Lady. Do she and her husband, like you know, talk? remember “Book It!” where you’d get a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut if you read a certain amount of books by a certain deadline? ha!
