Can't They Find Something More Important To Do?

While John Kerry hits the slopes and criss-crosses the country campaigning, one can't help wonder how much time is left over for actually performing his duties as Senator. (Of course, since his performances have largely been rubber-stampings of Bush Administration policies, maybe it's better he stays on vacation...)

Meanwhile, The Superbrain has just returned from vacation, again, at his ranch in Texas. Have his White House sheets even been changed yet?

We've all heard that the September 11th attacks were preceded by the longest vacation in Presidential history. It didn't seem to faze him. Even when he's not, strictly speaking, on vacation, Bush has plenty of time to (try to) eat pretzels while watching football games on the teevee -- but no time for reading a newspaper.

Is it so much to ask of the President, during his four years in office, that he set aside the goofing off, and, you know, put some attention into his job? It's not as if there aren't any, ah, items needing attending to.

The jobless rate soars, the Iraqi occupation spins out of control, the pace of al-Qaeda attacks intensifies, global warming warnings mount, infrastructure crumbles...and the President snoozes in his hammock.
