More fun with presidential photo captions


President Bush holds a puppy on a visit to a volunteer camp in Biloxi, Miss., Thursday, demonstrating that though the secretary of state is now declaring diplomacy dead and calling for sure-to-be-ignored-all-around U.N. action on Iran; Bush is threatening to veto the latest must-pass war and hurricane relief funding bill to make an empty and belated show of fiscal conservativism against frivolous pork like $15 million "seafood promotion strategies;" and NYTimes.com just posted a story allegorically headlined "House Republicans Postpone Ethics Debate" (edit: which they've since changed just to spite me)–all is still right with the world. "Nothing looks quite so bad next to this cute little bugger, now does it?" the president said. "Now vote GOP in November, or the doggie dies! Heh. Just kiddin'." (Photo: Reuters, Kevin Lamarque)
