The G. W. Bush Library
In January when Dubya starts setting up his library, will "My pet goat" be the first book he puts in the library?

1. You really think there'll be more than one book?

11. There already is an Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
Founded by the author of "The Very Hungry Caterpiller."

However, it's located on the campus of Hampshire College in Massachusetts -- not a place I can see Bush wanting to have much to do with (or vice versa.)

4. It will be filled with two kinds of books
Books written by other people, and books read by other people.

5. Ummm...
... if they shelve by chronology, it should be The Hungry Caterpillar, I believe. :)

6. I think we should feel a little sympathy for GWB...
In a little-reported news story, there was a fire at the Crawford ranch that destroyed part of the outbuilding containing W's personal library.

It was quite tragic. Both books were lost.

What's more, he had nearly finished coloring one of them.


Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week and do tip your waitresses.

8. Why do y'all always pick on Dubya? After all his IQ is greater
than Kerry's according to Tom Brokaw's question and answer time with Kerry! I couldn't believe he would ask such a question. Kerry admitted W was smart. Bite your tongue, John Kerry. But I forgive you. After all, you don't want to call him a damn stupid ass right on national tv.

15. Kerry was teasing. Bush's IQ is lower than a real chimp's.
But I have to admit, "after all his IQ is greater" than a banana slug's.

18. Clinton's Library will house over
8 million papers from his eight years in office. Shrub will probably burn all of his.
