This was sent to me from a couple of Vets For Peace: Enjoy
This is a poem made up entirely of actual quotations from George W. Bush, arranged for "aesthetic" purposes, by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson. A wonderful poem like this is too good not to share.

Ah, yes! A testament to literacy in the age of Every Child Left Behind!

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER!

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!

(Pass this on. Help cure Mad Cowboy Disease)

1. LOL anarchy, hope you got some rest last night (finally) and that
poem is played as a station promo by my local progressive radio KXXT 1010 AM in Phoenix

there's a "dramatic" reading of the same poem on the list named "pie higher" any of them are well worth a listen if you want a laugh :evilgrin:
