President Bush might want to think twice before resurrecting his cowboy routine. He might conjure up images of Bushback Mountain.

3. I was hoping for a Photoshop of *
on Brokeback Mountain.

You know?

A posse of *, "Big Time" Dick, Jeff Gannon, Scottie Mac, "Man on Dog" Santorum, "Box Turtle" Cornyn, and all of 'em wearing cowboy hats and buttless chaps. Homophobes ridin' bareback on the back forty whilst the womenfolk sit quiltin' back at the ranch house.

Symbolman? Magic Muffin? Anyone?

6. hey thanks. she does wonders with words.





As President Bush tries to shake off his dazed look and regain his swagger, he will no doubt dust off his cowboy routine: his gunslinger pose, his squinty-eyed gaze, his dead-or-alive one-liners, his Crawford brush clearing.

But this time, he may want to think twice before strapping on a Texas-shaped belt buckle. W. might inadvertently conjure up images of Bushback Mountain.

The High Plains, one of the few remaining arenas where men were men, may now evoke something more ambiguous, like men with men. After "Brokeback Mountain," pitching that pup tent on the prairie will never seem the same.

Can a culture built on laconic cowboys like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood survive one rough-hewn cowboy crooning to another, as Jake Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist tells Heath Ledger's Ennis Del Mar, "Sometimes I miss you so much, I can hardly stand it," and, "I wish I knew how to quit you"? .....
