Tales of the Oval Office

Image
President Obama was recently reported to have busted his lips while playing basketball. His predecessor, George W. Bush, almost died while munching on a seemingly harmless pretzel. Should the next US Presidential aspirants sign a release clause and be given a warning that- "The Oval Office is hazardous to your health" By the way, which is way cooler: Barack Obama getting 12 stitches after being elbowed on the kisser while playing basketball or George W. Bush cutting his face and bruising his lip after falling on the floor while choking on a pretzel? Still, Bill Clinton and his deliciously- hot cigar trumps them all.

Mr. Monk in Trouble

This book is trouble, a case that even the brilliant Detective Adrian Monk on his best days cannot solve. Lee Goldberg tries to duplicate the success in the boob tube of the idiosyncratic detective into book form but fails. One of the few times that the TV show is better than the book.
