Brush Is Safe This Thanksgiving

It's time for another holiday and apparently the first family has chosen Camp David over Crawford this time. Too bad, I guess they have decided the time for image building is over. I so love those brush clearing sessions. Ever wonder WHY he was clearing brush? Of course the cynical think it is just a cheesey photo op but I've come up with a number of other possibilities. Hence the top 5 reasons George Bush is clearing brush.

5. Just hates brush
4. Fewer places for terrorists and other America haters to hide
3. His boflex is broken and he needs a little chainsaw exercise
2. Ruins his view of Cindy Sheehan
1. Give wildlife fewer places to live so Dick Cheney will quit asking to hunt there.

Actually the reason most clear brush is to make it the land usable for crops or grazing. Strangely I have never seen or heard of any crops on the land. I have seen nary an animal there either. Unless you count Barney who is imported occasionally. Gee I am getting the feeling that this would be more aptly named a homestead and not a "ranch".
I also greatly enjoy the "scene" behind virtually every reporter that goes to Crawford with the Pres. A rustic building or two, a vintage tractor and a bale or bales of hay that apparently get fed to non existant animals. Hell at least Reagan had a horse! Sadly it seems Americans are on to the charade and the mojo just ain't there anymore.
Seriously we all need a time with family and friends and in times like these I am sure Dubya needs it as much as anyone. I hope all have a warm, thankful and loving holiday.
