Your fall-down laugh of the day

George W. Bush has declared this week "National Character Counts Week."

It is always a good idea to demonstrate to the children what character is. However, that would probably preclude blowing frogs up with firecrackers, driving drunkenly through your closed garage door, not showing up for military duty, committing insider trading, lying compulsively, executing record numbers of people, appointing liars and rapists to high government offices, poisoning the air and water, manipulating funds so that thousands of African women and babies die, systematically removing the civil rights of citizens, and blowing up a country that poses no threat to our own.

Just a thought.
