Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton


Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton.




Students were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton.

One smart-ass student turned in the following book report, with the proposition
that they were nearly identical stories.

His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report:



Titanic: $29.99

Clinton : $29.99



Titanic: Over 3 hours to read

Clinton : Over 3 hours to read



Titanic: The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent
catastrophe.

Clinton : The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent
catastrophe.



Titanic: Jack is a starving artist.

Clinton : Bill is a bullshit artist.



Titanic: In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.

Clinton : Ditto for Bill.



Titanic: During ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.

Clinton : Ditto for Monica.



Titanic: Jack teaches Rose to spit.

Clinton : Let's not go there.

Intentional blots


Intentional blots

If there is one thing you are not going to see printed in any newspaper in the world, it's cartoons depicting Jesus (for Christians) or Moses (for Jews) in the same way Muhammad was depicted in those Danish cartoons. It doesn't take much to wonder why.

If Muslims want the Western world to change its views about their culture, they are going to have to start changing their image of their "Religion of Peace" from within.

Also, I would consider the protests against the Danish and other fellow European countries about their portrayal of Muhammad legit if it were just limited to the flag-burning of those countries whose newspapers where involved. However, I see this as an excuse for violence when I see American flags being burned.

Last time I checked, I didn't see those cartoons being published by American newspapers as an act of solidarity with the European newspapers.
