From Catch-22
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.
I'm finally almost finished with this book; I somehow was never made to read in any educational capacity. I'm finding a lot of it amazingly apt considering our current political climate, which makes it at once more powerful and more difficult to read. It's a hilarious book, but the humor falls short when it really is so close to the truth of the matter. Anyway, I highly recommend it, it's a fabulous commentary on the military , military personalities, and its inherent bureaucracy.

And hey, your lovely wife says I should tell you that I'magonna be in DC from Thursday through Sunday with my Mom this week, hanging out with Joe and Beth, and that if you're you know, unemployed and have nothing better to do and want to drive on over to DC to hang out with us, that'd be super fun.
Catch-22
Very good, though disturbing. Falls into the same catagory as Farenheight 451 and The Jungle. Good books that ought to disturb you.
