Duck Tales

The Abraham Lincoln – John Kennedy similarity of events during their lives as US presidents are something to ponder. They border on the eerie and supernatural.

History repeats itself.

When Nancy Reagan arrived at the emergency room to visit President Reagan after an assassination attempt in 1981, he said to her, “Honey I forgot to duck”.

A pair of size 10 shoes took to the air almost hitting President Bush during a press conference in Baghdad. But he managed to "duck" just in time.

I am working in the Middle East for a long time and throwing “a shoe” is the most degrading insult you could give to somebody. In this case, that somebody is President Bush. Nevertheless, the Iraqi went to jail barefooted and a hero. The frostbites will go away.

And certainly, a soleful farewell send off for President Bush.

Yeah, you do have a lot to catch up with and two posting on the same day doesn't quite suffice, hahaha.

Oh I love that picture of Bush doing ala Neo in the movie Matrix. Plus the sarcastic humor adds more fun to my reading experience.

Write more often, ok? Hope you had a very fulfilling vacation.
