I still can't believe more people haven't crapped their pants over the fact that President Bush took a vacation during the entire month of August 2001. Never mind the incompetency theories which could be rudely debated between now and whenever the JFK assassination gets solved; and never mind the vacation's unfortunate propinquity to 2001-09-11. What hard working American gets to take a paid month off only seven months into a new job? The White House called it a "working vacation" -- makes me think of me "working from home" after a night of playing cards with the boys. Come on Mr. President, we all deserve and need time off, but you only get the job for four years -- suck it up and show some solidarity to your American coworkers who might just get a month of vacation after two or three years of work.

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
