Bush: My Guard Dog Ate My Homework

Heeding the philosophic call of Bobbie Burns:

O would some power the giftie gie us
to see ourselves as others see us,"

I share this Euro point of view just in from an American in the Czech Republic:

Don't know if you and the Bay Area got such a big
laugh as so many of us over here did reading about Bush's
military records being destroyed.

What made us all collapse on the floor with feelings
of hysteria-laughter brought on by the fact that
they'd have the gall to think we'd believe them for a
second was the inclusion of the word "inadvertently".

They - "inadvertently" - destroyed his military
records? Oh GOSH. Wow. How did THAT happen.
Oh mercy me, gee, whiz, I'M sorry.......

Everyone here at the Karlovy Vary Filmfest was
crying and laughing at the same time.

Yeah, most of us back here in the US of A also wondered about how that works, that out of many millions of records, his were "inadvertently" destroyed. I mean, the man is the President of the United States! It must be terribly frustrating for him. With all that power, he still can't get someone to find the records which prove he's not lying.

Oh well, back to the Burns boy:

The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men,
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
