We have a holiday feature on our editorial pages today in which some public officials recommend books. Some examples: Gov. Kathleen Sebelius recommends the coffee-table book “Forever KANSAS!”; Sen. Sam Brownback picks “A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”; and Connie Dietz, president of the Wichita school board, chooses “God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It.” Got other book recommendations?
One sidebar: I asked Wichita native and U.S. Secretary of Interior Gale Norton to be part of the feature, but her ethics department ruled that she couldn’t. Cabinet members can’t endorse any products, and apparently that includes recommending a book.

I find it ironic that Brownback is promoting King, considering just how little would agree on anything.
Does anyone else find it interesting Connie Dietz choose “God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It.”?
This book is probably the most profound book written on politics and religion in the past fifty years. It certainly paints a bleak picture of the morons that voted to change the curriculum with regards to ID.
Think she might be trying to tell somebody something?
I would hope so. :)
But will they listen:-)
