Isn't it amazing... that something that's so clearly important to this guy that he'd waste a Sunday dressed up like this is so utterly and entirely irrelevant to me? I mean, honestly, I can't even muster up the energy to google it.
Those folks at the White House finally got one of these photo-ops looking just about right. And the best part is, Pres. Bush totally comes off the winner here because his feet touch the floor. Boo-yah!
Somebody should tell President Bush that if he's still looking for a slam-dunk victory somewhere, I think we could totally take Chad.
President Bush today said he was feeling "pretty good" about disaster relief plans that have been put in place since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans at the end of last summer. And what are those plans exactly? "First of all, pray there's no hurricanes," the president told reporters at the White House. "That would be step one."
Apparently the president has a new plan for lowering gas prices, too. Wow. Can't say the guy isn't staying busy solving the nation's problems.
Just when I had you pegged as a dangerous failure, you had to go and pick up a puppy. Well played, Mr. President. Well played.
... than how Spanish performance artist Cuco Suarez chose to express himself in Oviedo, Spain yesterday. Obviously, if this doesn't get us out of Iraq, nothing will.
"The president has to be like Moe Howard: At some point in every 'Three Stooges' short, Moe slaps both Curly and Larry and says, 'Get to work,' " said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. "There's a window of opportunity to get things done, but the window is getting smaller every day."Here here. If there's anything we need from this president, it's more Moe.
The source said that while Snow's Republican bona fides are reassuring to the administration, Pres. Bush recently told aides that the red-furred Muppet "gets me" and that Elmo's "tickle me" attitude might help deflect questions on the war in Iraq, the skyrocketing cost of gasoline and the president's plummeting approval rating.
Not to be one-upped in the practical joke department, President George W. Bush later issued a series of confusing directions to the Chinese leader while simultaneously yanking Hu around by his suit sleeve.
President Hu is said to have taken the geopolitical hi-jinx in the lighthearted spirit it was intended, though a spokesperson did admit the pantsing delivered to Hu by outgoing Press Secretary Scott McClellan in the White House men's room may have taken things "a step too far" and accused McClellan of "milking the bit".
Okay, tell me it doesn't look like Condoleeza Rice has three arms in this picture...
"I study nuclear science, I love my classes-- Timbuk 3
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades"
Turns out Bud Abbott was wrong. Hu's on second, I Don't Know's on first... and he's a little grabby.
Guess that's diplomacy, Texas-style.
The caption says this is a picture of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney as he listens to remarks today at the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Awards in Washington. But I prefer to think that he fell asleep in his chair and everyone figured it was easier to just leave him there. Something tells me he wakes up nasty.
To commemorate China's recent $5.2 billion order of 80 Boeing 737 jets, Chinese President Hu Jintao and Boeing Co. employee Paul Dernier today mimicked one another putting on baseball caps as part of a reenactment of the celebrated and highly comical nightgown mirror scene from the classic 1933 Marx Brothers movie, "Duck Soup". President Hu moves on to the White House tomorrow, where the Chinese leader will meet with Pres. George W. Bush to discuss such issues as trade, Taiwan, the value of the Yuan and the growing nuclear threat in Iran. Should the two world leaders reach agreement, it is expected that Hu and Bush will attempt to recreate the entire "Who's On First?" routine made famous by the comedy team of Abbott and Costello.
Worst. Superhero. Ever.
On Tuesday, President George W. Bush ruled out a White House shake-up but new White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten today told top presidential aides to expect changes that "refresh and re-energize the team." To reconcile the apparent contradiction, administration officials engineered a presidential visit to a stone distribution company in Sterling, Va., where they attempted to convince Treasury Secretary John Snow, long rumored to be on his way out, to walk under a gigantic slab of granite, assuring him repeatedly that it was "quite safe."
... if He'd paid a hundred bucks a ticket and had to sit behind these two at Fenway this morning?
From the Associated Press (bold mine):Carmen Mercer, left, of Tombstone, Ariz., and Lisa Hall of Chicago patrol the southwestern desert near Sasabe, Ariz. Wednesday, April 12, 2006. Both women are part of the Minuteman Project monitoring the border from California to Texas in April.

Poor groundskeeper never knew what hit him.
I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.
Above is a picture of President Bush's restored childhood bedroom in Midland, Texas. If pressed, I'd have to say my favorite part is the croquet set at the foot of the bed. Gives it that "common" touch, wouldn't you say? Does come as a relief, though, to see that the man's reading habits haven't changed...
