Just the highlights, please:

1. George W. Bush. First, Bush told CEOs last week that corporate America should "adopt old-fashioned farm values of 'hard work and honesty,'" which I'm sure they were thrilled to hear. Bush then went to Mount Rushmore to stick it to those very same farmers, denying federal funding to drought-plagued South Dakotans because South Dakota only has three electoral votes. Um, I mean, because he wants to rein in spending so that his ridiculous tax cut won't cause any more deficits.

2. George W. Bush. Again. [D]espite only spending twenty minutes at each seminar, Bush told the paid stooges - I mean, ordinary Americans - that "I can assure that even though I won't be sitting through every single moment of the seminars - nor will the vice president - we will look at the summaries." Well that's good to know. Economic recovery here we come! The Cliff's Notes version of economic recovery, that is. Wasn't this guy a C student?

6. Dana Rohrabacher. Everybody knows that the Afghanistan's Taliban were a bunch of hate-filled, anti- American extremists. So why was Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher engaged in secret meetings with them back in April 2001, only months before 9/11?

7. Bill Simon. Last week Simon laid off half of his staff, apparently because the greedy bastard won't spend any more of his own money on his pathetic loser campaign, which is going down in flames. How Republican of you, Bill. Give pink slips to the little guys. But never expect any sacrifice from the guy in charge.

9. Florida Department of Children and Families. No, not for the reason you'd expect, but maybe that'll be next week as Jebbie continues to flounder.

See y'all next week!
