What I want to know is “how is the tick doing”. Did he die or just get as sick as we all are of Geo Bush?

Maybe she laid a whole bunch of eggs that grew into ticks immune to dumbya.

after reading this article ascribing Bush sr.’s attitude towards his son as being like a father watching a little league game, I just have to ask what in hell these NY Times writers are thinking.
Good lord.
Thank heavens for Firedoglake and the rest of the blogging community; finally a source of news for adults.

As the “resident in the Oval Office” , Congress, and the Iraqi Parliament enjoy vacation together, the 4th Branch remains in the DC creating another ill conceived strategy for his next Corporate War. Hear the Drumbeat, America. The neo con drum circle are beating their drums with intensity. Its almost wartime…again…

Hmm.
