This isn't a joke, but this article at cnn.com is quite hilarious.

So apparently the only good thing Bush was good at was ducking shoes. But even this shoe is having its own monument... I haven't heard of any Bush monuments. So its safe to say that the shoe was more beloved than Bush.

Anyway, I don't really have to write much about this since the title and picture just give it all away. The only thing I will comment on is this line: "Orphans who helped build shoe 'were the victims of Bush's war.'" This monument is now standing outside of an orphanage. Oh, and it cost about $5,000. Not that I know much about the goings-on in Iraq, except that they really don't want us there to tell them how to live, I would think that the money could be spent on something more important, such as maybe the orphanage, or the orphans themselves.

As you probably know by now from reading my news-related posts, I like to check out cnn.com for the latest in current events. [On that note, I could get paid for all of the promoting I do of their articles, hint hint] On their website, they have a poll, usually relating to one of the more recent news stories. Today, it featured this question:

Favorably	22%	33375
Unfavorably	78%	119351

I was actually shocked that 22% of the people who participated in this poll believed that President Dubya had actually thought history, and its books, would put Bush into a good light. This means that 33,375 people that took this poll think Bush will go down in history as a good president, or did a good job, I'm not actually sure what they were thinking. I know it's really hard for us non-Bush supporters, or smart people, to think of anything good that Bush has done over his eight year reign. The only thing I can think of that Bush accomplished that was miraculous was the fact that he was elected as President the second time (also the first, but after 4 years of Bush did anyone expect him to win again?)

So what was it that he is going to be remembered for in a positive way? What good history does he have? Every thing I think of, it only ends with Bush looking like an idiot and the American people paying for his mistakes. So I pose this question to all of you dear readers: What do you think? How will history judge President Bush? And how could it be favorable when, at the moment, millions of people around the world are eagerly waiting his termination as president?

All I can say is come on January 20th!

So everyone has heard by now how dodgy President Bush can be (quite literally). It seems as though that instead of being known as the destructor of the Earth, Dubya will now be renounced as the President who can dodge flying shoes. Very impressive, Mr. President, don't hesitate to write that down in your resume.

To brush up on my news of the day, I usually go to cnn.com to see the newest headlines. Their top story is currently: "Bush talks auto bailout, Iraq war, dodging shoes"

Does anyone else find it a bit ridiculous that this dodging shoes business is that important? Before it read the "shoes" part of the byline, I was thinking it would be "dodging bullets" since that seems to go along with the theme of bad news. When I came across "shoes" I thought that it fits Dubya's personality; stupid and completely nuts.

Was this another Dubya ploy to focus the country on an Iraqi reporter's shoes and forget about the auto bailout or the recession that we're in? How much did he pay this guy? Either way, I salute you Muntadhar al-Zaidi for having enough balls to throw your shoes at the dumbest person alive. No one else has tried a stunt like that, and it's pretty astonishing as to why not. And I'd hope that even though you attempted to assault the President of the United States, you got your shoes back.

I just would like to inform all you readers out there that dodging shoes is in no way like dodging bullets. Dubya would have known that if he had shown up to the Vietnam War. But that's another story for another day.

George W. Bush: Android? Cyborg? Extraterrestrial? Nope. Ninja!

That, or a super hero... I haven't quite decided yet. What could be a better way to mask your identity than as one of the lousiest president in history? Perhaps he was so lousy because he wasn't made to lead, he was made for dodgeball! I also love how he was smirking the entire time.

I definitely would have picked him first in gym class.
