That's one way to encourage literacy
French president Nicolas Sarkozy announced his plan for the country to provide free newspaper subscriptions to teens on their 18th birthdays. Weird, but at least he's paying some lip service to the dying media. Think Obama will follow suit?
"Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
