Oh that crazy George W. Bush

There I was, happily rocking a sleeping Lucas and drinking a cup of coffee. And watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on TV. The contestant had just answered the $100,000 question correctly and was getting ready for the $250,000 question. He even had 2 lifelines left. How exciting! Yes, this just about as good as it gets for me.

Then - a CBS News Special Report. It seems GWB is about to have a news conference at the White House! When he was just in Baghdad yesterday! (Fascinating, since he has at least one aircraft available whenever he wants it.) He just got back at 3 a.m. and here he is ready to speak to us at 9:45! (Big deal, I do that every day.)

I sat and listened to him for a few minutes before Brendan called me in to see a very important game he was playing on the computer. That was good, because a few minutes is about all I can stomach of the man. Anyway, he was patting himself on the back for pulling off that sneaky surprise trip to Iraq. I get that a lot around here too, when I have to pretend to be impressed with some "trick" that the kids pull on me. It's a little more palatable in children. The whole stunt smacks of a ploy to get his approval rating up. Not all of us are that stupid, George.

A half hour later, he's still talking. And I'll never know if that guy made it past $100,000.
