Bush was overheard saying to Blair, “Tony, let me tell you something from experience, stay away from any classrooms and young school children today. Be seen in church; those are the people that keep us in power. We should go together and be seen praying. I got Karl on the cell phone just a few minutes ago. You gotta listen to this guy. I sure as hell wouldn’t be here with you to help wreck the environment and the global economy if it weren’t for Karl. Hell, I never even knew there was a global economy. Let’s play it his way. Later on we can barbecue some of them ribs I got stowed away on Air Force One. Got a shitload a Texas beer on board too. Then we can sit down and figure out who to bomb for this and how much more we can spend doin’ it. Hell! You gotta love those crazy towel heads. This is just what we needed.”
   Blair was heard to say, “But George, I just hate the thought of our innocent citizens being blown up just trying to get to work. It’s such a terrible thing to lose life so meaninglessly.” Bush answered by saying, “Hell, yeah. It’s a gen-u-ine tragedy. But Tony, for every one of our people they blow up, we send about twenty-thousand martyrs to Allah. Can’t beat those odds. And nobody back home is feelin’ any too bad about the loss of

life over there. That’s ‘cause not too many people look at them crazy towel heads as human folks. Hell, Tony, they’re their own worst enemy. What they did to us is like a what a little ole New England mosquito does to a big Texas ass.” Blair replied by asking, “You talking about John Kerry again George. You better be careful how you use that analogy. It might just bite you on your big Texas ass.” Bush reacted by saying, “That’s why I like you Tony. You got that proper English accent, but you can use them four letter words behind closed doors.” Blair murmured, “Ass?”
   The president went on to say, “If I get lucky, they’ll pop a couple bombs off in Boston or New York. Nothin’ helps my ratings like an explosion or two in the upper forty-eight. Hell, I never had no ratings till those nutcases drove them airplanes into the World Trade Centers. And look what I did since then. Billions spent on wars with no end in sight. Got myself a ‘Patriot Act’ to shut down anyone I want and keep em’ locked up for years. And now maybe I can finally get rid of social security and put some real hard nosed judges on the supreme court. It’s amazing what you can get away with at times like this. Cheer up Tony, Gotta look at the bright side.”
