Great Picture

I would post this picture no matter who was the president, and I know that George W. Bush would have done the same thing.

But I love how it shows that a president cares more about the people then he does about keeping his suit dry.

Open Mic

CaptureMouseMicGosh darn I’m pressed for time, so instead of me blogging, I thought I would leave it up to you to entertain yourselves.

So comment on whatever you want, but here are some ideas:

  • It’s Friday, tell us what your plans are for the weekend.
  • What do you enjoy the most and least about this blog?
  • Why do you continue to visit this blog?
  • Should Pete Rose be allowed in the Baseball Hall of Fame?
  • Predict the Cowboys regular season record.
  • What television show are you looking forward to seeing coming back to air again?
  • Who would you rather have as a lawyer, Ben Matlock or Perry Mason?
  • What was the last movie you saw, and do you recommend it?
  • What’s the best comedy of all time?
  • If you won free air fair and hotel but had to leave this afternoon and return by Sunday night, where would you go?
  • Ketchup or Catchup?
  • How did you hear of the tragic affairs of 9/11?
