Unless you are Laura Bush, you probably have noticed that the US is, kinda, in the toilet. Now, I pick on Laura Bush, because after 8 years as the president's wife she hasn't aged a bit. I mean even W looks older; like the stress of the position is getting to him. But the Mrs., I swear, looks better. How can this be? Is she not paying attention? The debt is outstanding. The economy is in the toilet. Science is now optional in K-12 schools. Health care and a good paying job is an unattainable dream. I just don't get it. As the mother of the country shouldn't she care? Shouldn't this bother her? Shouldn't she want to change it? I dunno, as a mother of a 7mos old, I am scared to death of the legacy that I am leaving my daughter. She on the other hand -- as W said so glibly -- is off trying to improve the Texas housing market. The sad part is, that the newest member of the republican ticket makes Laura Bush look thoughtful. G-d help all of us.
