The Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Bush. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.

After a month of testing, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:

1) The stamp is in perfect order.

2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.

3) People are spitting on the wrong side.

Bush Bash of the Day:

After numerous rounds of "We don't know if Osama Bin Laden is still alive," Osama decided to personally send President Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was "still in the game."

Mr. Bush opened the letter, which contained a single line of "coded" message:

370HSSV-0773H

Mr. Bush was baffled, so he sent copies to his Chief of Staff and several Secretaries, including Condi Rice and Donald Rumsfeld. Their assistants and aides had no clue as to the meaning or translation of the code, so it was sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, then to the CIA, and also to NASA. They even sent it to Britain’s MI-6 and they didn’t know either. With no clue about the translation, they eventually asked Israel's MOSAD for help.

Within a minute, MOSAD cabled the White House with this reply:

"Tell the President he is holding the message upside down."

Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, “You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really are?”

Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, “Could I have a blackboard and some chalk?”

Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appear. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his theory of relativity.

Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really ARE Einstein!” he says. “Welcome
to Heaven!”

The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials. Picasso asks, “Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?”

Saint Peter says, “Go ahead.” Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.

Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!” he says. “Come on in!”

Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head and
says, “Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?”

George looks bewildered and says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?”

Saint Peter sighs and says, “Come on in, George.”

For those of you who missed it, Bush had a press conference this morning in which he discussed the war in Iraq, the situation with Iran, Vladimir Putin, and the SCHIP health insurance plan.
For those of you who saw the conference, you probably saw him stumble over his thoughts about world peace and how intervening in Iraq and Iran will help us accomplish it. Having said that, I've created a poll asking for thoughts on what he said about this during the conference. If you would like to take the poll, click on this link:


Is George W. Bush really striving for world peace?

All that aside, here's the Bush Bash of the Day:

Four boys were fishing. As their boat rounded a point on the lake,
they saw a man thrashing in the water. With no hesitation, they jumped
into the water and saved him.

It was not until they pulled him to shore that they noticed the man
they had saved was President George Bush, who had slipped away from
the Secret Service for a swim. When President Bush caught his breath,
he thanked the two boys and offered them anything they wanted in
return for saving his life.

The first boy thought about it for a while and finally answered. "I
would like a presidential appointment to West Point so I can serve my
country."

The next two thought that was a great idea, but one said he had always
wanted to be a pilot so he would rather attend the Air Force Academy.

The third boy chose the Naval Academy.

The president turned to the fourth boy, who was still thinking.
Finally he answered, "Mr. President, I would like a burial with honors
at Arlington National Cemetery." The president was shocked and asked
the boy why he would make such a request at his young age. The boy
replied, "Because when my father finds out I saved you, he is going to
kill me!"

George Bush looks out his bedroom window one January morning. During the night, someone has peed "W sucks" in a snowbank near the window. Enraged, George immediately calls the FBI to investigate. "This is an outrage!" George yells, "I want you to find out who is responsible for this right now!"

So a team of investigators goes out into the snowbank and runs some tests. A half an hour later, an FBI agent reports back to the President.

"Mr. President, I have some good news and bad news for you", the investigator starts. "The good news is that a urine analysis indicates that the urine belongs to former President Clinton."

"Ooohh." Bush laughs and rings his hands. "Once I go to the papers with this, I'm going to bring down the Democratic Party. What's the bad news?"

The FBI agent says, "It's Laura's handwriting."

Cheney added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy."

George W. Bush was visiting an elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through began a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word 'tragedy.' So, George W. asked the class for an example of a tragedy.

One boy stood up and said, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."

"No," said Bush. "That would be an accident."

A girl raised her hand and said, "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone on board, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," the President said. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. President Bush searched the room and asked, "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy."

"That's right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" asked the President.

"Well," Johnny said, "because it wouldn't be an accident and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss..."

A little while ago, I went on to Yahoo Answers and posted this "question" for users to complete: President Bush is _________. I asked users to fill in the blank, but also asked them to give their honest opinions. When all was said and done, I had nearly 100 answers. Here is how it worked out:

62% of the answers were of negative connotation (said something against Bush)
22% of the answers were indifferent (the blank was filled with words like "President")
13% of the answers were of positive connotation (said something in support of Bush)
3% of the answers were indeterminable (said something like "I'd better not state my opinion or some people will be mad at me")

And that brings us to the Bush Bash of the Day, which is a list of the 57 responses that said something against dear President Bush:

We're down to 502 days left in the countdown! Today's Bush Bash of the Day is a collection of (what I consider) some of the funnier George W. Bush bumper stickers:

Can we impeach for a blown job?
If you can read this, you're not the President.
Don't act stupid. We have Bush for that.
My poodle is smarter than my president.
Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot.
George W. Bush: a No-Brainer.
Bush-Cheney: "We're gooder!"
Dumbocracy.
I voted twice and all I got was this lousy president.
"I wish you had not voted for Bush." -God
More trees, less Bush.
Help the environment. Send a Bush back to Texas.
WMD = Words of Mass Deception.
Hurricane Bush, the REAL disaster.
No carb diet: No Cheney, No Ashcroft, No Rumsfeld, No Bush.
The only thing Bush fixes...are elections!
Bush bin-Lyin.
At least Nixon resigned!
Impeach the Son-of-a-Bush.
Bush is listening. Use BIG words!

The countdown is at: 503 days

503 days seems like a long time, right? I thought it did, too, until I put it in perspective. Here are some numbers to consider:

It's been 2421 days since Bush's original inauguration on January 18, 2001. Now THAT is a long time to put up with George W. Bush!

It's also only 426 days until the 2008 election on November 4 next year.

And here's your Bush Bash of the Day:

George Bush and Dick Cheney are talking, when Bush suddenly complains, "I hate all the dumb George Bush jokes people tell about me."

Cheney, feeling sorry for his "boss," says "Oh, they're only jokes. There are a lot of truly stupid people out there. Here, I'll prove it to you."

Cheney takes Bush outside and hails a cab.

"Please take me to 29 Nickel Street to see if I'm home," says Cheney. The cab driver, without saying a word, drives them to 29 Nickel Street.

Cheney looks at Bush and says, "See! This guy is really stupid."

George Bush agrees. "He really is a dummy. There was a pay phone just around the corner. You could have called instead."

"I want to talk about three issues facing America. The first are homeland security."

Bush Bash of the Day:

“We shouldn’t fear a world that is more interacted.”
–George W. Bush in Washington, D.C. on 6/27/06

The countdown is at: 507 days

Today's Bush Bash of the Day, I feel, is probably one of the most important ones I may ever post on this blog. It was (supposedly) banned in America (although I cannot prove that) and shows Bush in some of his proudest, cockiest, and saddest moments. It's ten minutes long, but it's worth the watch; when asked about the death toll in Iraq (which at the time of the interview was only 100), Bush replies with, "These people [the Iraqis] are willing to kill innocent people, they're willing to slaughter innocent people to stop the advance of freedom."

Having said that, here's the Bush Bash of the Day:

Bush Bash of the Day:

The Post Turtle

A country doctor is suturing a laceration on the hand of an old farmer.

Old man: "All you need to know about politics is that young George Bush is a post turtle."

Doctor: "Oh? What is a post turtle?"

Old man: "When yer driving down a country road, and ya come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top? That's a post turtle. Ya know he didn't get there by himself, he don't belong there, he cain't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help take the poor thang down."

Bush has only 514 days left in office!

Bush Bash of the Day:

I found a poll on the internet asking about the "Worst U.S. President Ever." Click here to see the results; 62% feel that George W. Bush has been the worst U.S. President (and for comparison, the runner up has been voted Richard Nixon, with a mere 8% vote). I don't think there's any question about how much Bush is thoroughly disliked.

The countdown is at: 515 days

President Bush has 515 days left in office. In the meantime, here's a bit of a somber Bush Bash of the Day:

The countdown is at: 518 days

At 518 days left in the countdown to the end of President Bush, it feels like we still have so far to go. So, here's the Bush Bash of the Day to lighten things up a bit:

Asked by his teacher to compare three presidents, Johnny thought for a moment and said: "Well, George Washington couldn't tell a lie. Richard Nixon couldn't tell the truth. And George W. Bush can't tell the difference."

The countdown is at: 519 days

With 519 days left in the countdown, here's the Bush Bash of the Day:

"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."
-George W. Bush in Trenton, NJ, September 2002

The countdown is at: 520 days

Well, here we are at 520 days of the Bush administration remaining! Also, I just found a really interesting place to check out: a graph illustrating a history of Bush's approval ratings during different points in his presidency.

The countdown is at: 521 days

One more day down leaves us at 521 days remaining.

For today's Bush Bash of the Day, I've compiled some quotes pertaining to the thoughts and opinions of various celebrities who have spoken out against Bush and/or the Bush administration:

"The problem is we elected a manager, and we need a leader. Let's face it: Bush is just dim."
-George Clooney in GQ

"Bush is a fucking idiot."
-Jennifer Aniston in Rolling Stone

"How could such a destructive man [Bush] be so popular with the American people? . . . Not only is he poisoning our air and water - he's poisoning our political system as well."
-Barbra Streisand in a 2001 letter aimed toward Democrats against Bush

"Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I find the language of George W. much more offensive."
-Madonna in a 2001 letter to the Los Angeles Times

"I’m not saying I loved Gore, but I’m saying I don’t want that motherfucking Bush in the White House."
-John Cusack

"I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy."
-Cher

"It is criminal to put our servicemen and women in harm's way and to put the lives of so many civilians on the line for the misguided frustrations of the Bush administration."
-Dave Matthews

"I've made a commitment not to make any anti-war statements because I'm afraid of . . . Bush."
-Peter Boyle when interviewed by an "Access Hollywood" reporter

The countdown is at: 522 days

Another day down and another day closer to the end of Bush's reign. Having said that, here's the Bush Bash of the Day:

The Lie Clock

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.

"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

The countdown is at: 523 days

We begin our countdown with 523 days left of putting up with President Bush. I know there are countdown clocks all over the internet keeping track of the same thing, but I figured I'd use this blog as a means of reemphasizing why we can't wait until he leaves the White House! So for each day, I'll post some kind of Bush humor...be it one of his moronic quotes, a good joke, or a political cartoon of some kind, I'll be showing the world day by day what we WON'T be missing come 1/20/09!

So, here is the first "Bush Bash of the Day:"

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."
-George W. Bush in a September 2006 interview with Katie Couric
