Bush attends Literacy Conference today ... hosted by his wife

I just knew there was a reason behind my saving this picture on my hard drive all these years ...

Actually, all kidding aside, by attending Laura Bush's Global Literacy Conference at the White House, President Bush is promoting literacy "as a key to prosperity and liberty" -- the theme of the meeting. And yes, Laura Bush was a teacher, and so probably is a little more accustomed to reading books right-side-up than is George.

Non sequitur: I hate to even mention it, but Mr. Bush's schedule over the next two days includes an address before the United Nation's General Assembly as well as meetings with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and several other heads of government -- but not including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran (who is also there), the one leader with whom he should be speaking.

Off subject, but Bloggers are known for that ...
