Meet the latest children's author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in "My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C." Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May. "I am very excited about the opportunity to create a book for young readers and their families that will deepen their understanding of how our American government works," Kennedy said in a statement Monday issued by Scholastic. According to Scholastic, Kennedy's book "not only takes readers through a full day in the Senator's life, but also explains how a bill becomes a law." Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, was inspired to write the book from his work with a Washington-based reading program, "Everybody Wins!" Kennedy's net proceeds will be donated to charity. |

This is not for real, right?
Typical liberals "Me Too" attitude after the success of "Help Mom, There are Liberals Under my Bed."
Hee-hee! Loved the big bad wolf and the 3 little pigs!
If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today
It floats.
The way our body is built, we'd be surprised if it didn't. The sheet of flat steel that goes underneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the underside of a car. So it's watertight at the bottom. And everybody knows it's easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you've rolled down the window a little.
That proves it's practically airtight on top. If it was a boat, we could call it the Water Bug. But it's not a boat, it's a car.
And, like Mary Jo Kopechne, it's only 99 and 44/100 percent pure. So it won't stay afloat forever. Just long enough. Poor Teddy. If he'd been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.
The only pic I see is Jokecylen Elders.
(the book) "not only takes readers throught a full day in a senator's life . . ."
Wonder if there's anything in the book about a senator's "full day" in which he gets a young, female employee drunk then drives off a bridge and allows her to drown.
I'm guessing probably not/
Now boys and girls, C is for Chivas, D is for drown, Spanish is also C for cheat.
So one could assume there is a chapter introducing the young reader to "happy hour"?
Excerpt: "...but unfortunatately, your mothers didn't murder you in the womb as I would have hoped."
Sorry about the lack of pictures. They looked fine when I previewed. Click through to the website.

My Senator and Me: The chronicles of Bar_nia
SPLASH is quite a name for dog Teddy
Well as the Liberals are losing the vote of the current adult population, the only thing left, is to plan for the next generation! If only they can regain control of the gov't 18+ years from now! LOL..........
