George W. Bush and Crafting a Positive Mental Construct

We still have a few more years to go of "Bushisms", fumerous televangilists, wacky cabinet-level and judicial appointments and, of course, pissing off other cultures. So... I thought I'd share my little, personal coping trick with all of you.

Life is a lot less stressful (and frankly, just plain funnier) if you stop thinking of W. as the guy with the codes to launch a nuclear ("nuke-u-lar") attack and alternately, just view him as a character in a musical comedy about Pol Pot.

Try it. It's a curiously easy mental leap to make. Isn't it?
