Bushed

It's good to know that the Bushman is taking a vacation while gas prices surge and Americans die.

We've already seen how bad things can be when he's working. Keeping him away from the office may be a seriously good thing.

Speaking as one who voted to give him this option for four years, I say: Let him stay home.

Hey, maybe he can putter out to the gate and meet the woman who's been waiting to talk to him face to face. You know, the one whose kid died in Iraq to further the Bushman's ambititions. The one who was told by the local cops to walk in the ditch, not the road.

I'm sure that was the local cop's direction, not the Bushman's, though.

Which is all the slack I'll cut him.
