Therefore, in order to do my duty as an American citizen, I will embrace these words of John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what you’re country can due for you, but what you can due for you’re country!”
Accordingly, I will be holding not one but two book readings in the DC area for my grammar book. George, Dan, Barack, and Mitt, you are all cordially invited.
Here’s the info:
December 15 @ 2pm
Books-A-Million
11 Dupont Cir NW (at Connecticut Ave. NW)
Washington, DC 20036
December 17 @ 6pm
Busboys and Poets
4251 South Campbell Avenue
Arlington, VA 22206
And, blogger friends, if you are in the area, I would love it if you would come too!

>>...Believe it or not, Harvard grad Barack Obama used “their” when he should have used “there” during an online discussion.
Believe it or not, I can EASILY believe that. After all, this is the same man who during a campaign stop said that he had already visited 57 states and had one more to go.
Hell, his English is far superior to his geography!
And don't even get me started on
George W(ish I had a brain) Bush!

Good intro to your D.C. book reading. I love it. I'm sure it's the least you can due for your country Amercia. ha ha
Hahahahaha time to educate the leaders...
Let's due it!
George W. Bush (4 MORE YEARS!!!) did come out with some good stuff!

Finally someone with good sense heading into the nation's heart.
Your (ha!) an inspiration to us all!
Have fun in DC, wish I were closer...I would totally come out to see you school us all!
Also-I LOVE that movie. LOVE! :)
this one time, i came across a sign which read: LONG LIVE MURICA!!! i stared at it for days...
LBJ usually referred to us as, "Mah fella Merkins."
Ha ha!! Enjoy the book signings! If you ever sign in the CHicago area, I will be there!!
(And I totally remember that song from Grease 2.)
That sounds awesome! :) Great post, I laughed right through it. :)
Now don't be too hard on old GW-after all, he kept us out of a nucular war!
And take it easy on old Danny...you say "potato," he says "potatoe." Let's call the whole thing off!
Here's hoping your book travels bring you to Phoenix!

Come up to MA. Or go to DC again during Feb break. I think I might visit then. I'd like my book signed. Actually, I'd like to find my book. I lost it. Looks like you might get two sales from me.
I don't mind if people confuse their/there before editing because when we're quick, we slip sometimes (well, maybe not YOU). I look at my manuscripts and find that instead of than all the time. But Obama did it all the time, I'd totally call him out.
And I'm not forgiving potatoe because I'm positive Quayle had no idea he'd spelled it wrong.
I 100 % wish was in the DC area! I would love to go to this. Also, thanks for sharing that Presidents also have grammar errors. Makes me feel a bit better about myself!
Have fun!
And sell a million books :)
Wish I could be there.
