the odd life of an ex-president

bill clinton cracks me up:

In between his globe-trotting philanthropy, speech making and legacy burnishing, Clinton is a regular at crafts stores around the world and can tell you the best ones in Hong Kong or Arusha. “They’re a great thing,” he said. “If all of your staff are women and all of your family are women, you just buy what you like and bring them home and then figure out who to give them to.” . . . Clinton said he likes picking out gifts for his friends’ wives and girlfriends.
