A Poem

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being
and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

The above is a poem made up entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush.

The quotes have been arranged for aesthetic reasons only by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.

We were talking about Ann Coulter

On bibliofile's LJ ... where I referred to Ann as the designated fluffer for the republican party ... I thought I should move this here ... so she dosn't get blamed for anything I might say ...

so ... check this out ... a TALKING action figure

I can't help but think ... continuing my comment above ... what could be done with this ... the Rumsfeld and Daddy Bush figures and a little stop motion animation (with Baby Bush on the sidelines of course ... cause ... "I like to watch")

The weekend

I spent the weekend running around ... it was a blast .. but man I need about 20 hours of sleep now ...

Friday I went to a house party for Howard Dean ... and a local candidate who I am not too fond of ... interesting ... an amazing house in the middle of nothing ...

saturday I went to Des Moines for various Howard Dean rallies ... it was a blast ... I learned a new phrase that I will use a lot

Vice President Haliburton

I got to meet some nice folks ... one of whom sent me the poem I posted earlier ... Melissa Etheridge was supposed to be there ... but her plane was late ... still the speeches were good ...

I skipped the big event later to go to a function at the wife's work ... it was a typical work dinner and back slap ... and I found it horribly boring ...

We went out for awhile later ... but I came home early ...

I went to play sunday night as usual .... it was a good set ... got an extra song (someone cancelled) and probably could have gotten away with another if I had been able to see past the lights in my eyes ...

Trophy Wife
Color Of Your Eyes
Golden Age Of Silicon
Hey Dad

and one more that I can't remember ... it was a good set ... got BIG laughs on Trophy Wife ... but seemed to lose the audience after that ...
