Eric,

Roaches or freedom from same?

Roaches. I was able to convince my wife that it's not worth paying $85 for someone to come to the house every three months. As far as I know, we have spent more than $200 to kill six roaches. That's enough to buy five-star roach motels with a pool, spa and award-winning restaurants.

Subject: National Poetry Month

This poem is composed entirely of actual quotes from
George W. Bush. The quotes have been arranged for
aesthetic presentation by Washington Post
writer Richard Thompson. Too good not to share,
especially during National Poetry Month...

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where
our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
