Exactly!! The fact that Chewbacca chose “Becoming” as her book title (and knowing that this term has a well-known gruesome meaning in the Thomas Harris book)—is proof of Chewbacca’s fundamental lack of true literacy.

Obama won 2 Grammys for his books on tape. His marketing by movers and shakers was planned before he ever announced his candidacy.

Look at the spoken word winners for the past 25 years, they are almost always liberals

I’ll have to keep an eye on my credit card statements to make sure I haven’t been out buying multiple copies.

From that web site:

"and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare."

Oh yeah... that "media glare" was unforgiving. Right.

Soon to be appearing in the $2 Bargain Bin at a Wallyworld near you. Very soon.

How appropriate: Mike named his book Becoming.
