Hey, I don't care what his favorites are as long as he isn't president <g> 
However, my point was that he has spent many, many years longing for Nation 
of Islam and the closest he could get and still be in politics was Wright 
until that blew up in his face.

And, from his one mouth, "religion is tool."  Thus he added The Bible to his 
favorites list.  And just in the last 30 days he removed The Autobiography 
of Malcolm X.

Bottomline, there is NOTHING new or different about him.

Lynda, who is currently spending time reading nonsense, a psych book, 
canning books and a book on hydroponics.  BTDT and read the big book on 
mythology and wasn't impressed.
