    History "Factoid": The "Headless Chicken" defense was first developed by James Madison during the War of 1812, and later perfected under Herbert Hoover.
    Bonus "Fun Fact": In the 60's, under Lyndon Johnson, it was a popular dance in Washington, D.C.!

      How refreshing to see Bush mean what he almost says.

      We are doing our part here in MO! Next Saturday marks the end of Public Panic Week. There will be a wailing at the courthouse steps starting at 9:00 AM. We will run around the courthouse three times waving our arms disconsolably while sobbing. Then we run in the courthouse and collape crying in the lobby. We're instructed to make sure our tears fall on the wood floor and stain it. Never let it be said that MO is behind the curve!

      Stiff upper lips are out. We need to show our emotion.

        Well let me see...... GW wants a mass panic over the panic??? damn, ok, let me see if I have some panic pills and anxiety booze laying around to facilitate this experience..... well none of that laying around. Guess I'll just have to fake this one by drinking some rum, coke, and jack and laughing my arse off at this farce called a political race. I'll take some pills tomorrow..... they are called aspirin.

        According to FEMA the guns and booze have been delivered but it's the state's responsibility to distribute them. They have also delivered 26 truck loads of Gucci slippers but have no way to distribute those either and they are contaminated with formaldahyde.

        Bush is the "act now" president.

        On Bin Laden: Act now, or the terrorist will win.
        He never found Bin Laden.

        On the economy: Act now, or we will be in a disaster. He tanked the economy himself with his rich oil buddies and world bankers.

        He's a real scum bag.

        Americans are being fooled, just like those Texas farmers who were bilked out of the mineral rights for their properties.

          When the market fell in 1987, Ronald Reagan got up and told the American people that stocks rise, stocks fall, but we'll be okay. Bush essentially said the economy was in collapse. How should we expect people to react to these two different statements? Exactly as they did. Reagan was calming, Bush was alarmist - as usual. Under Reagan the market recovered. Under Bush it dropped by 1000's of points.

          Examine the Bush family history and you'll understand where he's coming from.
