The Boy in the Bubble

George Bush today emphatically declared that he does not live in a bubble and that, "every morning [he] looks at a newspaper."

Three things:
1) If you have to declare that you don't live in a bubble, it's too late.
2) "To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant." - Amos Bronson Alcott
3) "Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance is the death of knowledge." - Alfred Whitehead
