Similarities I noticed between George W. Bush and The Burning Bush - A Short List

Category: Humor stuff, and in the best of worlds, science humor stuff

Natural disasters figure prominently for both.

Neither necessarily follows international conventions.

In their own ways - doing their part to increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

When they speak, it's kind of surreal.

I gather, both on the same page with this stem cell business.

Essentially kind of hard to explain rationally.

* The burning bush turned Moses' staff into a snake, whereas many of Bush's staff are snakes.
