    Giving Up Golf to Support the Troops

    Well, now we know. After years of wondering just what President Bush has been doing to support the troops mired in Iraq and Afghanistant without sufficient armor, combat pay, home rotations, health benefits and myriad other problems, today George revealed that since October 2003, he has given up golf. Golf. He could not bear the thought that a mother of a soldier serving in Iraq might see him teeing up and wonder what was up with his priorities. So he gave it up. This is not a joke. This is our president, but I repeat myself.

    The mind boggles at the missed opportunity to rally the nation's burgeoning numbers of golfers to give it up for the troop. Not a single more round until every soldier is home safely.

    What do you think, golfers? Are you willing to sacrifice? If not golf, something else for the troops?

    So, we no longer get to see new YouTube videos like this one with Bush golfing: "We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive."
    He drove with remarkable style, too.

    Michael Kieschnick - It's hard to take you seriously when your posts are rife with spelling errors. Plus, you believe in global warming, so you are clearly not an intelligent person. You are a sheep.
