Overworked much?

The opening sentence of a story about Bush's brush-clearing hobby: "On most of the 365 days he has enjoyed at his secluded ranch here..."

Lessee. 365 days = 1 year. Jan. 21 2001 - Jan. 1 2006 = 5 years. Therefore, 1/5 (20%) of his presidency has been spent on that ranch. For this we pay him $400K a year?

Nice work if you can get it.

Would that he'd spent 5/5 of his so-called presidency at Prairie Chapel clearing brush. The nation and the world would be much the better for it.
