(in the beginning)

King George was now a college grad-jee-ate, twicest over! He had learnt his spelin and rithmitic to an amazin degree. His mental powers had been sharpened like a butter knife and he had increesed his com-pren-shion. These accomplishments made his Pa real proud.

The only problem was that the Vietnam War was still being fought by brave American soldiers, slugging through the swamps and jungles. It was of paramount importance that King George not be exposed to such hooliganism as it could cause his underlying delicate constitution to suffer a nervous conniption fit.

"I think I was unprepared for war."

King George's papa consulted with the wise and worldly Godfather about the problem. The Godfather explained how he'd managed to successfully dodge the draft.

Even though the family could continue the expense of maintaining King George in various expensive colleges, it was decided that he should make a show of patriotism, for purely propaganda purposes, by serving in the National Guard. His Papa, who in 1968 was an important Congressman representing the 7th District in Texas, voted to abolish the national draft but he was concerned that King George might get snaggled into hazardous duty anyway before the legislation could take effect

So, the Congressman papa arranged King George's duty in the Guard to be stateside.

While King George wasn't in the battle in Southeast Asia, he was hard at work in Texas and Alabama protecting America from the Yellow Peril by patrolling the likely invasion spots.

Also, during this period of time he gave serious consideration to attending medical school, another way in which he could serve his Country.

The drunk driving and drug charges are self explanatory but the white-collar criminal charges require a more detailed look-see. In 1978 King George had run for office for the position of congressman from the 19th District in Texas. Not suprisingly, he lost. Faced with enormous campaign bills he decided to enter the family oil business where, as everyone knows, the scams are rampant and the payoff is better than running a fixed craps game.

This field of expansive dreams included such corporate entities with the important names of, "Arbusto Energy", "Bush Exploration", Spectrum 7" and "Harken Energy".

The white-collar criminal charges dealt with an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission of insider trading. The millions of dollars of illicit profit gained through this scam were safely stashed in off-shore accounts after King George's Papa - who was now the Vice President of the United States - had the SEC investigation closed. Meanwhile, King George had married and, like other hard-working Americans, had to provide for his family. So, what to do?

I know! Let's buy a major league baseball team!

King George took $800,000 out of the hidey-hole in the root cellar and invested it in his next venture which was as American as Mom and Apple Pie!

That was in April of 1989 and for the next five years he was the managing general partner of this all-American team. In 1998 he sold his shares for $15 million dollars, realizing a profit of $14,200,000 bucks. So, what's the math on that?

$14.2 million divided by nine years = $1,577,777 per year, which works out to $758.55 per hour, calculated on a normal 2,080 hour work year.

Now, King George was sufficiently confident enough, and his wallet was fat enough, to go for bigger game.

After serving as Governor of Texas for two illustrious terms, King George's appetite for the powers of higher office had been sufficiently whetted enough for him to consider the Next Big Thing. His growing retinue of sycophants and hangers-on had convinced him that he could be the Presidential choice in the election of 2000. Imagine that?

Was America ready for a cow-poke to be President? Was the cow-poke ready to be President?

King George actually lost the election by 543,895 ballots cast in the popular vote (meaning the votes by the People, and the only one that should count) but King George and his backers were fighters.

So they went to court and contested the result. The state of Florida - which happened to be where King George's brother was Governor - demanded a recount. However, King George, as the statesman he is, stayed out of the muddy and dirty fight because, as he said:

During the first months of King George's new administration he was confronted with the discussions concerning human embryo cell cloning. This was a subject that caused him to wonder about the moral implications of life itself.

"Sometimes when I sleep at night I think of (Dr. Seuss's) 'Hop on Pop.'"

King George took his deepest thoughts and wisdom to the Capital where he addressed the full House and Senate.

After listening to their advice King George made the announcement that, "You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."

Now, the might of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and all the brave men and women who served would find themselves thrust into the horrors of war.

Not one war, but two. Wars that would be fought against crazed, suicidal religious fanatics in regions that had seen ongoing warfare, amongst it's tribes and sects, for centuries.

Indeed, these regions of the world had already been fought over, tragically and hopelessly, by foreign armies including, Alexander the Great, Napolean, Mussolini, Hitler and the former Soviet Union.

"Those who don't study history, are doomed to repeat it." (Santayana)

But King George and his war ministers would prevail.

After the "Mission was Accomplished", King George set his sights on the Presidential Election of 2004. It was vitally important that the King and his war ministers remain in office so they could sweep all the exxagerations about the reasons for going to war under the carpet in the Oval Office.

Let's see? What inspirational slogans could they use to hoodwink the voting public? How about an assurance of competency?

The cow-poke won the 2004 Presidential Election by the hair of a snake, this time using the state of Ohio and last minute re-count irregularities and gets to continue his Kingly agenda. (Note: Just before the election, Secretary of State Colin Powell resigned from King George's admininstration. Did he ever say why? Could it have been that he was mortified with shame from being suckered into and endorsing the invasion of Iraq? Also, John Kerry, who is a blood brother Skull and Bonesman to King George, knuckled under and said, "Uncle", pretty easy didn't he? Hmmmmm? Wonder what was up with all that?)

What's next for America under King George's vision of leadership? The Shock and Awe warfare mission, that had actually been successfully accomplished years before, continued. Tens of thousands of American and Coalition Forces dead, crippled and wounded; hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Afghans and Iraqi civilians dead, crippled, wounded and displaced. The infrastructure of both countries destroyed but which will gladly be rebuilt at American Taxpayer expense. All of that is overseas, in the area's that had been thought to be easily tamed:

"There ought to be limits to freedom."
"There's a lot of garbage in politics, and, obviously, this is a garbage man,"
