What should a time capsule describing the 'Bush Years' contain?
For my 1000th post, I'm asking for your help in creating a time capsule for future generations. It will be opened in 200 years. Since language and technology will surely evolve during that time, we won't be using any books, essays or videos; just photographs and artifacts. How can we best express to future generations what has happened during the Bush years?

My contributions to the capsule include:

* the last remaining torn-off corner of the shredded Constitution of the United States
* a pretzel
* a pink slip (as in you've lost your job, not the lingerie)
* a vial of crude oil
* the terra color code chart
* a photo of a calico cat

Any further ideas? Humor me. Please. :scared:

about the worst 8 years in US history and about the worst President that ever governed this great and still enduring nation.

Congrats on 1k. It looks like a long way from here!

I've been here since the beginning and I swore I was only going to lurk... amazing how quickly snarky comments and mindless musings can add up!

that about sums up my thoughts re: "the bad old Bush days."

on continuous loop. you can't turn it off. ever. ok, that's a lie. a cloud could stop it.

in about 2 hours, the super-large-foreheaded aliens will take a crowbar to it.

ok, make it 2 minutes.
