Stupid Is Forever

I'm glad this beautiful book cover caught my eye in a bookstore. The first book I've had to read with the aid of Google Translate instant! A fast, fun read with lines that made me laugh out loud, especially in the chapter about being married. I haven't come across a book like this before, filled with a politician's witty bon mots and selected speeches given at universities, as well as a pages-long resume, interspersed with delightful cartoons by the “Philippines' best young illustrators”. Will probably read again, especially in the run-up to the 2016 Philippine presidential elections and for future Singapore elections too. This definitely makes me want to find out more about Senator Miriam.
