Bush Breaks Vacation Record

While many of us "sellouts to the man" will spend August slaving away at our cubicles and respective places of business, the President has chosen to do something quite different; he's taking the whole month off. Yes, the President will spend August at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, mountain biking, wearing ten gallon hats, falling off of Segways, and molesting collies (pictured left).

With three and a half years remaining in office, Bush's August retreat breaks Reagan's record for number of days a President has spent on vacation. According to CBS Radio, President Bush has spent 20 percent of his time on vacation. In defense of his holiday (as the Brits like to call it) Bush said that "I'll be doing a lot of work [in Crawford]. On the other hand, I'll also be kind of making sure my Texas roots run deep." While I have no clue what this mouth-breather comment means, it seems that he'll have plenty of time to do it. But Americans shouldn't panic, I'm sure they will give him a pager or something in case of a national emergency.
