Books for Congress--

Based on some comments at the end of my last post, what five books would you want your representative to read?

Well, obviously, "My Pet Goat." A book is asking too much so I settled for a short story designed to help elementary school children master reading.

If he could pick only one, Harrogate would of course like his representative to read the collected Romances of Southpaw, "earmarked" for release just in time for the Christmas holiday.

Given another choice, Harrogate urges his Congressman to check out Richard Slotkin's _Regeneration Through Violence_.

It would be nice if more American politicians understood the fallacious underpinnings of the violence they underwrite from the comfort of their mansions.
