..."The Wit & Wisdom of George W. Bush" the autobiographical pamphlet here, are we? No siree! We're talkin' about the highly regarded works of JRR Tolkien, one of the foremost 20th Century literary authors and a man who made a point of not wearing his politics, prejudices or religious views on his sleeve! Tolkien reputedly said as much himself in denying the symbolic nature of his Rings Trilogy and it would be nice if folks would have the decency to respect the late author's word.

BTW, Hank Ford, Lindy and would be King Eddie are far from literary giants even though the former two are well respected for their personal successes. The fact that all of them made poor philosophical/political judgments doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on their personal achievements, does it?
