In order to write the book, I have taken to living my life upon the principles set out so ably by the Bush administration. In other words, I am field-testing the lessons I have learned from Washington in the real-life laboratory of the American home, with wife, children and dog.

It is working out very well. For example, I have adopted a "never flip-flop" policy in my personal dealings. No matter how stupid the position I have taken, I stubbornly persist in it because that is what our president has shown true leadership to be -- projecting toughness and never compromising or admitting a mistake. This inflexibility has given me a most endearing swagger, which my friends would readily acknowledge if they were not liberals.

At work, following the administration's lead on picking a new representative to the United Nations, I delegate the most diplomatic tasks to the most undiplomatic colleague I can find. If my choice turns out to be a bully, all the better, because people we are trying to influence just loved to be lectured and insulted, especially if they are foreigners.

At home, another lesson I have learned from the Bush administration -- spend like there is no tomorrow -- has done wonders for my family's domestic prosperity. Why, we were even named Family of the Week at a local department store.

The beauty of borrowing and borrowing is that the kids will have to pay for it all in the end when we, the parents, have ascended to heaven on a cloud of our own self-righteousness.

Is this sarcasm? It had better be. Though in a way I also feel that all I need to know I learned from Bush. About what NOT to do.

darn good too. I think he ought to do the book - or at least a poster!

:rofl:

...to my father-in-law.... watch for a 'mushroom-cloud' explosion to the east people- it will be his head imploding.

I sent this to her parents. So let us know how it goes.

Welcome to DU.

If you get sucker punched.... start flailing about madly... it doesn't matter who you hit, you can say that they were "going to hit you"

If you might lose an election based on the fact that... well you're dumbass and you suck... go into a theater full of other dumbasses and yell "Fire!"
(or in this case.... them gays are getting married and soon they'll wanna marry you away from your wife.... or.... you're gonna have to have an abortion when they take your bible away.)
