George W. - the comedian

This is old but still funny as hell. It's a poem composed entirely of actual quotes from George W Bush. The quotes have been arranged by Washington Post writer Richard Thompson.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush

I think we all agree
The past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pant leg of opportunity.
I know that the human being
And the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize Society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
Major league.

This piece by Oliver Willis makes some fascinating conclusions for potential authors. I agree wholeheartedly with his conclusions and have been promoting this idea to several writer friends of mine for sometime. Maybe they'll start listening now. [oliverwillis.com]
