From my wonderful local liberal paper, the Capital Times

Often, when an executive faces lingering questions about his skills, he works extra hard to make sure that every i is dotted and every t is crossed.

Not so George W. Bush.

Indeed, if the chief executive, who is currently enjoying a five-week sojourn at his ranch in Texas, keeps vacationing at the same rate, he will have spent more than a year of his presidency away from work.

While Bush may not be very good at managing major endeavors - he ran four corporations into the ground and then took a make-work job as a baseball team executive before finally turning to the family business of politics - the president is no slacker when it comes to rest and relaxation.

While Bush has been taking almost one week out of every month off since assuming the presidency, a substantial proportion of Americans are lucky if they get one week a year of paid vacation. And millions of workers get no time off at all.

The United States, unlike other industrialized countries, fails to set any base standard for paid vacation. European countries have long required corporations to provide workers with three, four or even five weeks of paid time off.



There's more. It's a good article. I love the fact that Madison is a pretty good liberal town. :)
