readingredhead | Bush has officially made my day.

Our president -- cricket player?
Aw, poor Bush, it's just too hard to concentrate.
Too bad it wasn't a real cricket ball
I have discovered that, in this world, there are some things that simply deserve to be laughed at. The face our nation's leader makes while trying to play cricket is one of them.

You have no idea how hard I laughed when I opened up my morning issue of the LA Times and saw these two pictures on the front cover! One of my first thoughts was, "Gee, I wonder what the Pakistani boys playing with him are thinking." I've decided it's probably something along the lines of, "Why did they choose such an incompetent cricket player as the leader of their country? I do not understand these westerners."

I then had two more thoughts, in rapid succession:
1. I wonder if Bush's mother reminded him to wear his helmet?
2. If they were playing with a real cricket ball, I think I would start cheering.

Well, that's my amusing news story for the day, complete with pictures. I guess the actual article to which these pictures belong talks about how Bush doesn't intend to sign a nuclear pact with Pakistan...but honestly, what's more interesting: our president mishandling nuclear power, or our president trying to play cricket? I think that's easy to answer.
