Back to work

August 31

It's back to work for me. I flew all the way from Crawford all the way back to Washington D.C. I was curious about what's going in New Orleans but not curious enough to go. So it was perfect, I just had the pilot kinda swoop down so I could get a looksy. That's about as close as I wanted to go. Looked like a heck of a mess.



Then I gave a pretty good speech about it. I did a pretty good job. It's a good thing I flew over the damage. It helped me understand what the people are going through. I was a little distracted bc I knew Condi was seeing Spamalot and I kinda wished I could see it too. I bet it's really funny. But they didn't let me go. Oh well.

playing guitar

August 30

Oops. It wasn't the civil war, it's world war II. I talked to these old guys who had helped us to win world war II. I was too young to realize what was going on then. But I talked about Iraq because it's a war I know more about. Afterwards the country singer Mark Wills gave me a kickass guitar. It has a presidential seal and everything. I strummed a g chord and it sounded alright!

Oh, Cherty Cherty told me that that levy thing did break it turns out. I hope that's not a bad thing. I don't think so. I don't think it's bad at all. He didn't sound too upset about it on Meet the press with tim fatty mc fatty russert. Cherty Cherty said "It was on Tuesday that the levee–may have been overnight Monday to Tuesday–that the levee started to break. And it was midday Tuesday that I became aware of the fact that there was no possibility of plugging the gap and that essentially the lake was going to start to drain into the city." But I'm so sad. Cheney told me this is my last day before going back to work. That sucks. I'm back in Crawford fore my last night of vacation.

Wow that hurricane is awesome. I've been watching it on TV and it's crazy. Transformers are exploding, tress are flying all over the place, all these people are in something called a superdome. Superdome. I like the way that sounds. I wanna go to a superdome. It sounds fun and science fictiony. I'm gonna build one here in crawforf.

Today I had to leave Craford which sucks. On the plane I called Cherty Chert. I told the press:"I spoke to Mike Chertoff today — he's the head of the Department of Homeland Security. I knew people would want me to discuss this issue [immigration], so we got us an airplane on — a telephone on Air Force One."

Then I went to wish John McCain a happy birthday in Arizona. We had some cake. It was pretty good, a little dry, not as fudgy as I like my cake. I hate John McCAin. He's annoyong. Then I went to talk to some old farts at golf resort in Pehonix. I said: "This new bill I signed says, if you're a senior and you like the way things are today, you're in good shape, don't change. But, by the way, there's a lot of different options for you. And we're here to talk about what that means to our seniors." I think I sounded pretty good.



Then I flew all the way to southern california to talk to some more old fogies to talk about some changes in medicare or medicade. Which is it? Medicare, I think. I said: "We've got some folks up here who are concerned about their Social Security or Medicare. Joan Geist is with us. … I could tell — she was looking at me when I first walked in the room to meet her, she was wondering whether or not old George W. is going to take away her Social Security check." I can't remember who the heck Joan is. Oh well. Then I played some more golf. Rummy called me from a San Diego Padres baseball game. It sounded like he was having fun. I wish I could have went. Boy am I pooped. But I have to prepare for some speech tomorrow bc it's the anniversary of the civil war.

Gosh, if it's not one thing, it's another, you know? If it's not Cindy Sheehan it's a hurricane. Can't a man take a vacation? Cheney told me I had to hold a press conference about it. But I didn't want to. So he finally said I could do it in a helicopter hanger. That was fun. I told people to evacuate but I really spent more time talking about the iraqi constitution because I like to talk about the positive, you know?

PS They told me something called a "levy" make "breech." I like that word breech. It's what dolphins do. And wales too. Whales and dolphins breech.

clearing the brush

Friday, August 26

I cleared a lot of brush today. This ranch is looking pretty good if I do say so myself. They keep talking about this gosh-darn hurricane. It may get worse. That would suck. I'm going to clear some more brush.

Dear Blog,

Thank the lord. Cindy Sheehan left to see her 74 year old mother who had a stroke. I bet her face looks really funny. She probably talks like "blaa, naaa, yaaa." I shouldn't say that, that's kind of mean. Anyway, maybe now I can get some peace and quiet! Sheesh!

Cindy Sheehan is really, really, really annoying

Dear Blog

Ok. Now she's really annoying me. She won't shut up and her whole camp casey thing is so annoying. I hate having to drive by them. They're so stupid. Ugggghh.

I'm going to sleep now.

Cindy Sheehan is sooo annoying

August 16th

Dear Blog,

Cindy Sheehan is so annoying. It's 4 days into my vacation and she shows up in an "impeachment tour" bus.

Will this woman every shut up! Gosh. "Why did you kill my son? What did he die for?" Blah, blah, blah, blah. Shut up already woman. And she's so sensitive. Gosh. She's telling everyone that when we met last summer I called her "mom." So? But I will not be bullied by this woman, I will not be intimidated, by this rude, pushy, nagging mom. I already have one of those. So I said: "But whether it be here or in Washington or anywhere else, there's somebody who has got something to say to the president, that's part of the job. And I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say."

And then I said "I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life." Because I really do need some me time. Gosh I love Crawford.
