An anti-Bush slur shows that America is on the right track.
You know America is on the right path when European cartoonists start drawing our president in a 10-gallon hat.
That's what's been happening to George W. Bush this week on his visit to the Continent. The German paper Die Zeit featured a cartoon of a cigar-chomping President Bush coming through the Brandenburg Gate as though he were walking into a saloon. In Moscow, street vendors are hawking wooden dolls with the president's face under a Stetson. In Berlin, the anti-Bush posters depict the president as a smiling cowboy with eyes painted a deadly red.

These elitist Europeans remind me of a bunch of old, whiny, graying, out of touch relatives that you've supported and looked after over the years but who you haven't seen or heard from in ages to express love and gratitude. They have a knack for being judgemental about how you live your life and project your "failings" from their eyes onto their piddly problems. In Texas terms, all hat and no cattle, snot nosed little blue blood runts with a superiority complex. To hell with 'em.

ATTABOY! Way to go, Pokey! When I was a little kid I rode with Hoppy every saturday, wearing my Hopalong Cassidy hat, guns (2), and boots!
I still treasure an old silent film short that I got for my 7th birthday: "The Bar 20 Rides Again".
Thanks for the Proustean memory fix!

The French sneer at our Cowboy culture and make an icon out of Jerry Lewis. Have I left anything out?

You know I spent 2 1/2 years in Western Europe and the fact is most of the countries there can't seem to police up there own messes, The Germans are OK and the Brits are fantastic at taking care of themselves, but the rest of Europe is a bunch of super left wing nitwits living off of their gubberments nipples.

Boy, this is a great start to my day, he looks gorgeous in that hat. I think it is his laughing eyes, they are wonderful to look at. Course, he fills out a pair of jeans pretty well, too.
Thanks for the ping. Nice to see the Europeans thinking we get upset over "cowboys".

Thanks for the ping, Meek!
Peggy nailed em with this one! Every once in a while, the Euros need a bitch-slap, just to get their attention!
