Preznit: I would name it "Really Hard Bike Ride Monument"
Bush Rides Roughshod Over Protected Federal Land

Yesterday, President Bush joked about his difficult bike ride through the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument:

"I just spent some quality time in district, and I forgot to tell you that I had the privilege of riding my mountain bike in the desert, as well. The national monument that she helped put together to preserve open spaces - she’s got a lot of humility, she didn’t name the national monument after herself. If I were to name it I would say, Really Hard Bike Ride Monument."

But the Palm Springs Desert Sun reported that by riding through the area, Bush had ignored the “voluntary avoidance” guidelines at the Monument. The guidelines are meant to protect a species of endangered bighorn sheep:

Jim Foote, acting manager of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, said the Clara Burgess trail is also among those monument managers ask people to avoid part of the year to prevent disrupting endangered Peninsular bighorn sheep........

If this latest Bush bike ride was like his others, a “massive entourage,” including a “long convoy of SUVs and off-road vehicles,” came along for the ride....

6. Oh how cute.
:puke: I know what "Hard Werk" is for **. It's coming off sounding like a complete idiot, every time he opens his mouth! Or maybe it just comes naturally for him. :shrug:

:( He managed to mangle the English language, desecrate the environment and insult Mary Bono (not the sharpest knife in the drawer herself) all at once.

I am beyond embarrassed. :(

10. OK.
As for the block quote, just check the HTML lookup table link in the Message options section whenever you post, and insert what you want blocked where it says "text."
