Can someone help me?
President George W. Bush is on my tv. This is one of those days when I am stuck sitting at the other end of the room. Until one or more of my kids gets home, I cannot even get to the remotes, which are in view.

This is a form of torture. Please help an old man.

Thanks,
H2O Man

1. Worse news. He'll be at your door in five minutes.
He wants to tell you about "terra."

16. Quick! Cover the floor in Jello, and set your couch on fire!

2. Close your eyes and take a nap
He'll be gone soon.

6. I have always
tried to force myself to watch him over the years. But when choice is not there, it makes it hard to take.

January can't get here soon enough.

5. Eeek
That IS a form of torture. I would recommending closing your eyes and singing your favorite song, as loud and long as necessary, until * is off the boob tube! :hug:

10. He's done.
In many ways, of course.

It is bad enough watching the Sarah Palin express.

7. He's on my tv, too, and for the life of me I don't know why I don't turn on a movie
At the beginning of his speech his jaw seemed to be in charge of him working from left to right like crazy.

But that's not what you want to read! It just ended, thankfully.

Anything we can do for here, just name it.

makes me appreciate even more all that DUers did to elect Obama.

9. Is there a loaded handgun within reach?
If so, shoot the television. You won't be sorry.

13. For the first five years
that we lived here, we didn't have a tv. My wife thinks that television is poison, and more often than not, I agree with her.
