2. George W. Bush To Write Newsweek Cover Story on picking up Barney's Poop.
But they're not going to publish it.

It is so fantastic to have a President who is smarter than me again.

For eight years I was a genius.

14. That's the point I've been trying to make all day!
Only, not quite so eloquently or effectively.

13. It would be even better if you had principles.
However, having a group of school administrators together is nothing to sneeze at.

26. Thank you,
I was thinking it was from bluestate & and then I read the part about "I agree with you"..and I'm going.."Whaaat?" :P

Yeah, he'll write it and for that reason you state. :hi:

Writing about something like this would be very cathartic. How many places on Earth have devastating Hurricanes and a followup Earthquake that demolishes?:(

I butted all IN to your conversation. :P

Exactly.

I know-especially since all eyes are on his handling of the situation. I couldn't imagine the things he's feeling.
