I wonder if this is true, I can't find the original article:

Barack Obama invented several important details in his acclaimed 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, according to a memo distributed by the Clinton campaign as polls opened yesterday. The book describes Mr. Obama's experiences after the accidental death of his black African father in 1982. The senator's father was born in San Francisco, Calif., not Nyangoma-Kogelo, Kenya, as was alleged in the book, the memo claims. "Charles 'Chip' Obama spent every day of his life in the Bay Area, including the 24 years he spent working in a co-op bakery."

If false--Du would have been full of Clinton lies!

2. Methinks it's satire. The bit about 'Confessions of St. Augustine' was what really tipped me off.

And the parts about Marjane Satrapi and 'Persepolis' - the comment about the two-dimensional thingy - referring to the animated cartoon movie of her comic books, the eyelids and lips comment!

3. but isn't that article at Slate--a compilation of boboo's discovered

regarding autobio's?

the BO would be just of the many included in that article

4. It cited the real ones first, above the ******* divider, then made up...

fictitious ones below, citing current books or famous historical documents.
