I Have Had My Differences With Members of the Press. But it's Nothing That Burying them Under Tons of Earth Won't Solve

Does President Bush have it in for the press corps? Touring a Caterpillar factory in Peoria, Ill., the Commander in Chief got behind the wheel of a giant tractor and played chicken with a few wayward reporters. Wearing a pair of stylish safety glasses--at least more stylish than most safety glasses--Bush got a mini-tour of the factory before delivering remarks on the economy. "I would suggest moving back," Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor. "I'm about to crank this sucker up." As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety."Get out of the way!" a news photographer yelled. "I think he might run us over!" said another. White House aides tried to herd the reporters the right way without getting run over themselves. Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor's window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned. The episode lasted about a minute, and Bush was still laughing when he pulled to a stop. He gave reporters a thumbs-up. "If you've never driven a D-10, it's the coolest experience," Bush said afterward. Yeah, almost as much fun as seeing your life flash before your eyes.

And in case you think this is just a clever Onion article, well, I found it on the Newsweek Magazine website.

Good lord, we are an embarrassment.

That will be all.

Is there a possibility that he may be the anti-christ? Or is everyone still thinking Cheney?

No, the anti-christ will make you believe in the beginning that he is the good guy to, in the end, steal your soul... I think he may be one of those lesser demons... I can't remember the little bugger's name... oh.. Pan! XD

See? I am already hunting down Mr Bush for personal benefit... he is such a good source of nonsense.

Plus, trying to defend yourself against the president (in this case) or just being perceived as in any way slightly threatening (in general), is a good way to get yourself shot by the Secret Service. So there was really nothing those guys could do.

Re: the pictures. Bingo on the first one. And that second? Gold.
