little red wagon from Bush's childhood home

[Cocoa]

ah, memories. Little Georgie would tow around the body parts from the animals he tortured to death in this little wagon. Those were the days...



A red wagon is seen by the front door of the childhood home of President George W. Bush, in Midland, Texas, Monday, April 10, 2006. Former President George H. W. Bush along with his wife Barbara and current first lady Laura Bush will be in attendance Tuesday for the official dedication of the historical site. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)

1. Will they "dedicate" it with frogs and firecrackers?

Add this place to my list of "historic sites"
I hope to someday visit...
and piss on.

[snacker]

2. Oh, gag me....

he'd never be able to figure out how that worked!

[Atman]

3. What will the plaque read?

"Here began the end of American Democracy"

Some historical site. Are you sure they don't mean "hysterical" site?

16. I know what I'd like it to read

Childhood Home of First President to be Impeached in the 21st Century.

Yeah, that works for me!

4. Is that the one he kept falling off of? nt

[Dangerously Amused]

5. Awwww, isn't that precious.

The first wagon he fell off of.

6. This is getting to be nauseating!!! How is that tract home a...

historical site. Did Babs and Poppy hang on to that red wagon all these years. I doubt it. What a bunch of phony nonsense.

17. Me too! If that little red wagon could talk, it might explain how we got

here with this insanity.

9. That can't be little shrub's wagon. It is not destroyed. He destroys

everything he touches.

11. Comic books...see he did read (photos)

Smirky's bedroom



Only reading material:



Notice the cub scout stuff.

14. If he was a normal kid- there'll be different magazines under the mattress

12. Don't homes become historic sites after the president's out of office?

Another question: GHWB & Bar were both from very rich families, so why did they have such a small house?

I have no problem with the "historic" status, but it does seem to be too soon. Maybe the Bush people want to have the ceremony before Bush is sent to the Hague.

BTW, the Republicans were screaming and having fits a few months ago when Bill Clinton's childhood home was proposed to be made a historic site. Hypocrites. :grr:

15. Because his daddy (Monkey granddaddy) wuz CHEAP

Here's the baby in the bathwater....an opportunity lost!

18. Did he commute to Andover? When (as a child) did he live in Midland?

...

19. I think he was there from age 3 until junior high?

He was born in New Haven, Connecticut -- and his folks took him to Midland in 1948. The family moved to Houston in 1959. He went into an expensive private school after that.
