Go Away, CIA Man!

Amilynne and I are the targets of domestic wiretapping, I swear. Not for any supposed terrorist links, I think, but probably because the White House wants our great ideas without paying us for them. The latest proof? Here goes:

Earlier this week, Amilynne and I were on the phone discussing why W is so unlikeable. And we found a reason that goes beyond that annoying shoulder shruggy-snigger he likes to give, his inability with the English language, idiotic remarks like "the national anthem should only be sung in English," or policy.

We concluded that W is unlikeable because he hasn't let the nation get to know his pets! Just his unlikeable daughters! For a boost in his approval ratings, he needs to bring the terriers out into the open and let us get to know them!

So I just DIED when I was listening to NPR on my way home yesterday--they were reporting on some of W's tax rhetoric, and the close of the bit went something like this: "President Bush was speaking at a Capitol Hill hardware store, where he was buying a chew toy for his dog Bowser."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!! There it is! Because you know that those reporters didn't just paparazzi-catch W talking about taxes at a hardware store. This was SO orchestrated. This was exactly the PR move Amilynne and I decided that he would need to make!

So if W's approval numbers start going up, and if the name "Bowser" seeps into public consciousness, I'm afraid that illegal domestic wiretapping is to blame, because Amilynne and I had no intention of letting W in on this one.
