A couple books I want to check out that are probably already buried somewhere in my Amazon wish list...
from the Booksmith:
"Want to dress like the Pope? Well, why not? After all, the Pope is one of the most important people in the world, and gets invited to state dinners and stuff like that, and lives in an ornate place called the Vatican. At long last, The Pope (along with illustrator Sarah "Pinkie" Bennett) present a book on this timely subject called How To Dress For Every Occasion."
from Modern Times:
"A captivating, indignant, witty story of the "Great Relabeling" of American language, Talking Right is a new look at political language from a master linguist, broadcaster and popular intellectual. Nunberg shows how the Right has waged a brilliant campaign to hijack the language of everyday political conversation to the point where political language has stopped making sense."
Incidentally: Is anyone going to hear Mavis Staples at Stern Grove this Sunday and wanting to save me a seat?
