Vicente Fox didn't like him either

I think the sharks in the water smell blood and are beginning to circle:

Although, the Bush administration has often painted a rosy picture of the relations between the two leaders, Fox's new book is full of information that challenges that assertion. Although, Fox does admit to having forged a "kinship" with the U.S. leader, much of Fox's memoir reveals that the political relationship between the two leaders was not nearly as smooth as proclaimed.

Fox, who left office in December, questions Bush's reported love of horses and calls his one-time U.S. counterpart, a "windshield cowboy"-a cowboy who prefers to drive, saying, ''A horse lover can always tell when others don't share our passion."

In his book, Fox calls Bush "the cockiest guy I have ever et in my life," and blasts the president's stance on immigration, along with the GOP's platform on the issue in general. Fox also holds Bush and the White House responsible for the war in Iraq, blaming Bush's stubbornness for the international backlash the war has sparked. He also calls his former friend's Spanish "grade-school level" and admits his own surprise in the former Texas governor's rise to the top of the U.S. political scene.

"I can't honestly say that I had ever seen George W. Bush getting to the White House," Fox writes in his book.

We could have told you, Mr. Fox, that Georgie doesn't like horses, and why would you be surprised at his 'grade-school level' Spanish if he can't even conjugate properly in English?

He's bleeding heavily and starting to swallow water. Kindly keep all arms and other appendages away from the edge of the raft.

Reminds me of this joke:
A Moral Dilemma

Here's a dilemma for you... With all your honor and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.

You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
