the perfect metaphor for Spring 2007?

Bush and Cheney as Thelma and Louise. Unfortunately, the rest of us are trapped in the back seat, while they are deciding when to floor it.

On a lighter note, here's a joke from the archives:

George W. Bush goes to a primary school to talk about the war. After his talk he invites questions. One little boy puts up his hand, and the President asks him his name.

"Billy!"

"And what is your question, Billy?"

"I have three questions," says the boy.

"First - why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second - why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
and Third - whatever happened to Osama bin Laden?"

Just then the bell rings for recess. George W Bush informs the children that they will continue after recess. When they resume, the President says: "Okay where were we? Oh that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy puts his hand, George points him out and asks his name.

"Steve!"

"And what is your question, Steve?"

"I have five questions:

First - why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second - why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third - whatever happened to Osama bin Laden?
Fourth - why did the recess bell go 20 minutes early?
and Fifth - what happened to Billy?"
