Laura Bush's saving grace
She likes critters.

She also donated her time to Utopia Rescue Ranch, which is also a favorite of Willie Nelson, Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kinky Friedman, Don Imus, Ann Richards, and Billy Bob Thornton -- as well as a bunch of non-Texans.

Utopia Rescue Ranch primarily rescues dogs, but recently they have been rescuing other animals, notably a pig.

Take a brief break from politics and check it out.

10. Cool. Now all we have to do is teach Pickles to like PEOPLE as well
as critters.

But then, again, Pickles has only killed one person -- her highschool ex-boyfriend. Right after they broke up, she ran a stop sign, hit, and killed him. "Accidentally", of course...

3. Well, if we could just get her away from the BFEE...

4. Wow- a human trait.
However, I found this quote *ahem* amusing:

The Ranch’s mission is to rescue animals from area pounds that are on death row. They are spayed, neutered, and placed in homes where they can happily spend the rest of their lives.The Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization as designated by the IRS. Contributions are tax-deductible according to law.

Ironic. Laura saves death row occupants. Georgie-boy kills them. What a contrast.

5. How do pounds end up on death row?
Hi! I'm Judy, and I'm a recovering English major.

9. Hi Judy. Welcome. I am Bill, and I have given up on the hope
of Americans ever speaking English.

6. She also pushes literacy and books
Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 12:53 PM by khephra
Which is much better than pushing a War Against (some) Drugs, or rather a War on Our Freedoms, like Nancy.
