When Will The Dog Bark?

Inspector Gregory: "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"

Sherlock Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."

"The dog did nothing in the night-time"

"That was the curious incident."

What may be most remarkable about the Bush Presidency is that in five years he hasn't vetoed anything.

Part of the explanation is he's had a very agreeable Republican Congress. But that can't be all.

The main reason is, as steel-eyed as Bush's foreign policy may be, when it comes to the domestic side, he's Santa Claus. It's just so much easier if you give anyone anything they ask for. Maybe he figured it would help him get re-elected. Well, that's over, so perhaps it's time to pull out the pen--not every program is worth the money.
