"You have to have something. You need a reason to believe; I'm still looking for mine."

President Bush, remembering images of her tush, makes a move on the German Chancellor

click the montage to enlarge

What kind of a hopeless bonehead is Our President? There appears to be a tempest in a teapot controversy over POTUS's "massage" of German Chancellor Merkel. Was it an unwelcome advance? The Los AngelesTimes initially reported that the Chancellor was smiling during the Presidential assault. As the photomontage below shows, her reaction was anything but welcoming. The President then moved on to his next luckless victim.

This is not the first time the German Chancellor has been engaged in a silly controversy--see All This Is That on April 20th, this year. Or note this clandestine photo (If we have to see a world leader's bum, I'd prefer hers, to say, Dick Cheney's).

"I'm an upstanding community member. I'm a deacon in the first Baptist Church. But I lost my faith ten years ago, when my wife dumped me for a 22 year old heir. I lost my faith in the church, in humans, and, most of all, in myself."

"My heart is like a big bucket of cold tar. I feel nothing. I am indifferent to every person I meet. I don't believe in anyone or anything. I don't believe in me."

"After Desert storm, nothing ever seemed to work right. About half the puzzle pieces were missing. I tried out this, I did that. I went here, I went there. And all the king's horse's and all the kings men could not put me back together again. I was never despondent, but I could never feel again."

"I was abducted on April 23, 2002. I remember nothing from the moment I was taken until I came to at 3:19 a.m. I'm prety sure I am a "throwback" -- I show no sign of implants. *sigh* I don't even fit in with the greys."

I'm a yellow dog Democrat

A Yellow Dog Democrat is a hard-core Democratic loyalist. The term, Yellow Dog Democrat was coined during the 1928 elections, when Al Smith ran for President against Herbert Hoover.

Senator Tom Heflin, of Alabama refused to back his fellow Democrat, Al Smith the Governor of NY. Not only that, but he also decided to support Herbert Hoover (who went on to become President). Heflin was considered a traitor, especially in the South. Huge numbers of Alabamans disagreed with Senator Heflin's decision to cross his party lines and the saying, "I'd vote for a yellow dog if he ran on the Democratic ticket" was born.

"I've been stealing money from the company for five years. I keep it covered up in a sort of revolving shell game. But the auditors are here next week and I don't know what to do. In one more week, I could hide it, but I've run out of time. I don't have enough to run away. I don't know whether to confess or end it all."

"There's something in my past. A repressed memory or something terrible that happened to me when I was younger. I've tried and tried to remember, but it never comes back. No matter how long I try to remember, I come up with nothing. And it hangs over my head like a dark cloud."

"I have a secret. I have never told anyone, but I want to tell you. I really want to tell you, but when I do, it's out of the bag. My safety depends on this staying inside me. I have to tell, but I can't. If I told you, I'd be sowing the seeds of my desctruction."

"I cheat on my income tax. I sometimes steal commissions rightfully belonging to other salesmen. I step out on my wife whenever I make a sales trip to Toledo. I don't really like my 2nd daughter. I can't wait to collect my inheritance."

Another warning sign from Yellowstone National Park

Other warning signs I saw about Bison/Buffalos go into even more detail about their unpredictability. I wrote a poem about the Bison on my recent trip:
