Shai-Hulud!

Just idle speculation, but what if George W. Bush had read "Dune" in college, well, assuming he knew how to read Obviously that is just cruel, since "Dune" wasn't even published while Shrub was in college, and secondly, his wife is a librarian, so he has access to people to read to him, and as shown by his fascination with "My Pet Goat", he enjoys a good book.

What would happen?

Imagine the possibilities. Sting could be your veep. In those silly pants.

    George doesn't read. I bet he even had an aide summarize his cliff notes.

    Apparently the 1952 Arabic translation of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" was titled "Al Queda".

    Does this mean that Osama Bin Laden thinks he's Hari Seldon?

    Osama's more like The Mule, then?

    Look pal, it's three balls for a dollar, but if you want, you can double-down, so if you get three shots in, you get double your money back.

    Or you can go ride the Tilt-a-Whirl.

    With my last ball...

    Dick Cheney thinks he's Milo Minderbinder from "Catch 22".

    Now, which way is that Tilt-a-Whirl?

    Uh, just follow the trail of cotton-candy puke and Seagram's scented carnie at the switch.

    Thanks for playing, and try again!
