In The "How You Can Tell It's Time for the President's Month-Long Vacation" Department

You can tell it's time for George Bush's richly deserved vacation when:

  • hundreds of children are dying in Lebanon while Bush tells us "Israel has a right to defend itself"
  • more people die in Iraq of violence each and every month than died in the U.S. in total on September 11th, 2001
  • the U.S. is at the highest level of debt ever and Mr. Bush hasn't even begun to spend
  • when hundreds of billions of dollars to fight the War on Terror and "rebuild" Iraq cannot be accounted for
  • he's far more concerned about his next meal than whether Muslims think we're trying to exterminate them
  • Dick Cheney got more in a tax refund this year than 98% of Americans will make in their lifetimes
  • his own policies make it far more likely that those who hate us will attack us
  • he's used the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution as his personal toilet paper
  • 2006 is the hottest year on record at a time when Bush has made certain that the worst polluters in the nation will be generously rewarded with corporate welfare and a "police yourselves 'cos we trust you" policy
and that's just a start...
