Bush, a Republican, also plans to invite Democratic front-runners.

2. Aren't they talking about Bush 41?
I wasn't aware that Jr had a library yet, or had even been in a library.

Not to mention, his great love, parachute jumping.

10. Thanks for that
I hadn't seen that "Arabesque" baseball pic in a while, and it's just as funny now as it was the first time I saw it.

5. Oh. My bad. I thought they were visiting the future site of Shrub's new one
Maybe they should just add a children's section to Pappy's library for Shrub's library. They can carry My Pet Goat.

9. Key stop....
Where-to the Twilight Zone (alternate reality like The Monsters are Due On Maple Street), Bermuda Triangle (money, troops, reputation, votes disappear never to be seen again).
