I was at the library last night and I happened to notice, in one of the return carts, a book by Arlen Specter called Passion for Truth. A book by a politician about how much of a hard on he has for the truth—and a big, thick one at that (the book, not the hard on). I found this amusing, for obvious reasons, and it got me to thinking that maybe they should do a series along the lines of the for Dummies books. Here are a few possible titles:
Passion for Freedom, by David Patraeus
Passion for Justice, by Eric Holder
Passion for Losing, by Charlie Sheen
Passion for Education, by Arne Duncan
Passion for Altruism, by Hank Paulson
Passion for Knowledge, Erudition, and a Non-moronic-sounding Nickname, by The Situation
Passion for Women Over the Age of 30, by Donald Trump
Passion for Human Life, by this guy
I think I may have a winner on my hands here.
