How many of you get 5 weeks vacation in one stint a year plus other weeks

[In Truth We Trust]

spreadout throughout the year?

1. But hey, we don't have a job that is so much "hard work" when

we're on duty....

[getmeouttahere]

2. You're joking, right?

I get 15 days a year, which must be used for both vacation and sick time. Fortunately, I rarely get sick, so I can use almost all or all of that for vacation.

3. I don't even have time for a pretzel break ...

or a bike ride. :shrug:

[Mutley]

4. No one but the pretzeldent gets five weeks of vacation in one stint.

It's hard work being a pretzeldent, you know!

8. Texas White House

Bush does not go to Crawford to clear brush. That's just his cover. His real goal is to establish a "Texas White House." Remember how the later Roman emperors moved their HQ to Constantinople?

Crawford has a lot of appeal for Bush: complete control over his environment. No pesky legislature, courts, nosy tourists or annoying protesters (at least not as many). Far from the Beltway gossip with a smaller airstrip, Bush and his guests can arrange photo ops or not, control the news and speak more freely than in D.C. Bush can entertain who he wants, when he wants and plot any kind of mischief he desires, and we don't even find out until it is much too late. Does Bush maintain an accurate appointment log, etc. in Crawford? Do we have a clue as to what really goes on there? I doubt it. After all, he's on "vacation," isn't he? What he does at Crawford stays in Crawford, doesn't it? Bush's got a great set-up there, and the American people? As if Bush cared.

[Cobalt Violet]

9. I haven't had one in over 2 years.

And I am not the weed-in-chief during war time either. See my sig! :mad:
