Bushism

"Now we talked to Joan Hanover. She and her husband, George, were visiting with us. They are near retirement--retiring--in the process of retiring, meaning they're very smart, active, capable people who are retirement age and are retiring."
-Alexandria, Virginia; February 12, 2003

Say retire again.

"I want to thank my friend, Senator Bill Frist, for joining us today. . . He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."

Dry Clean Only

This is quite possibly the best Bushism I have had in a while:

"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."

That man never ceases to amaze me...with his stupidity that is. Ok, I have been having a lot of dreams as of late and I seem to slowly be dreaming about everyone I know. Last night my mind decided to throw Michon into the mix.

For some reason we were in the creepy gas station by Khaki's house, formerly known as the "Speedy Turtle"..I'm sure everyone is familiar. Well there was a picnic table inside and we were sitting at it doing our homework. Well, Michon was doing homework, I just had a yellow legal pad that I was doodling on. Anyway I wanted to get a couple shirts dry cleaned and the lady that was working there was ridiculous. She wouldn't let me give her my shirts and in the end she gave me a coupon book to come back some other time and I went back and sat on the picnic table with Michon doing nothing.

Where does this stuff come from? Clearly the inner workings of my mind are far more cloudy that I could have ever expected.

Origional.....I Blog Not!

So the picture of Captain Jack Sparrow has nothing to do with this blog entry, but I loved the picture and felt everyone should get the chance to enjoy it.

Today's Bushism is VERY blog-worthy.

Amazing! Ok first things first. J-wall, so sorry for the "blatant rip-off of your "reasons why luke wilson and i are destined for each other." But I must say I did some research yesterday and decided none of us are that original. Either that or a lot of people are ripping off our stuff. Take for example the 45 hits on Google for "Let's Give 'em Something to Blog About." Man, you think you've come up with something original and google manages to rip that dream to pieces. Or the 969 hits for "Jack Bauer Power Hour." I must admit this was all very disturbing to me. I figure that with this information I can do one of three things.

A. Become dedicated to a little cause I like to call "Operation Coinage" in which I will attempt to coin a phrase or idea that has no hits on google.

2. Give up and continue the delusion that I have original thought and stop googling.

D. Combine these two ideas and keep coming up with what I think are original ideas, but check them before I declare Operation Coinage complete.

I choose 2. Let's face it I'm lazy and it's a little too depressing to realize that I am not as funny as I think I am.

Peace.

Blog Bless America

I made an excellent purchase last night. Jackie and I went to Barnes & Noble and I decided there is one thing that my desk at work needs. And that thing is a day by day calendar dedicated to "Bushisms." What are Bushisms you ask? Basically they found enough copy to fill an entire day by day calendar with stupid things this man has said over the course of his career. I intend to share the best ones with you over the course of the year, but for now here are some of the ones I got to tear off last night to catch up...plus some I found online.

"Wow! Brazil is big." —George W. Bush, after being shown a map of Brazil by Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brasilia, Brazil, Nov. 6, 2005

"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. That's what I'm telling you." —George W. Bush, Gulfport, Miss., Sept. 20, 2005

"The relations with, uhh — Europe are important relations, and they've, uhh — because, we do share values. And, they're universal values, they're not American values or, you know — European values, they're universal values. And those values — uhh — being universal, ought to be applied everywhere." —George W. Bush, at a press conference with European Union dignitaries, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004

Man, this man is funny. Stupid, but funny. All I gots to say is God Bless America.

Peace
