<a href="http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/breaking_news/6013840.htm">"Any baseball game in America,"</a> says Bush, "including the one in your backyard, Timmy. Mwahahahahahah!"
<br><br>Flying to Qatar from Jordan yesterday, President Bush showed off to the press some of the high-tech gadgetry installed on Air Force One after September 11.

Posting fictional George Bush quotes to Metafilter? Now <i>that's</i> a slow news day.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26216-499424Thu, 05 Jun 2003 08:52:34 -0800PrinceValiumBy: xmutex

In other news, George W. Bush today pinched a massive loaf on Air Force I after a rousing meal of enchiladas and guacamole dip. The loaf, decried by Democrats and the liberal media as excessive in its scope and sheer magnitude, was immediately the subject of world-wide reporting and speculation as Bush aides called in on-board reporters for a glance at the majestic output.
Was it arrogance, or just a slow news day on Air Force One?comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26216-499440Thu, 05 Jun 2003 09:02:23 -0800xmutexBy: quonsar

Oh fine, then, substitute parentheses for the quotes around the second (yes, fictional) part of the quote. Lighten up, for chrissakes.
I'm glad Bush can be anywhere over the US and still be able to watch baseball. That's comforting.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26216-499452Thu, 05 Jun 2003 09:13:21 -0800emelenjrBy: blue_beetle

I think it's established that Bush doesn't have any media dealings anymore that are not totally thought-through and targeted in purpose. This was his way of getting information into the public sphere about the fact that in the case of an attack, the President can be running things from the air. Newsworthy in a small way, but not really snarkworthy.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.26216-499474Thu, 05 Jun 2003 09:30:54 -0800blueshammerBy: RobbieFal

Don't watch baseball with Bush, he'll just want to watch the Rangers.

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends.
