"A prescription for chaos and confusion"

Bush actually vetoed the troop withdrawal?

I can't believe he did that. He should listen to himself more often: "Our troops and their families deserve better, and their elected leaders can do better."

Right he is. He could have done much better.

Books

I have completely forgotten about the book challenge thing. There should be at least one other book between these two and the last one, but I really can't remember which. So...

Mirror Mirror, by Gregory Maguire. I didn't like this one as much as his other novels, although I adore his Medicis. Somehow I never managed to develop a liking or even sympathy for the  main character and her story.

Die Vermessung der Welt, Daniel Kehlmann.
It's going to be Measuring the world in English. Buy this book.
I had to read it for a course, but I liked it so much I read it over again directly.

I wish I wouldn't have to read such a lot for my courses, then I'd have more time for my own books.
