I, for one, think it's high time we put another Bush in the White House and this here Jeb seems like he'll fit the bill just fine.

I sure hope those Bushes are rapidly multiplying so as to ensure future generations of the kind of polite, gentle and somewhat non-threatening patrician leadership we have come to expect.

I really do miss the vaguely confused and befuddled Bushes that led our country in past years. I do get a warm, fuzzy feeling thinking about them and I am fondly reminded of Yale, tennis matches, sweaters, baseball games (tossing out that first pitch), and argyle socks.

What I would really like however, in addition to another Bush in the White House, is a friendly invasion/occupation of our neighbor to the north - Canada.

Now hear me out. I really have nothing against those hockey-crazed, beer-chugging Canucks. They are pretty much nice and harmless people. However, their silly country does tend to get in the way when I need to drive on up to Alaska.

Used to be that you could just go ahead and drive through Canada to get to Alaska and on the rest stops on the Al-Can, you could just use American money to fill up the gas tank and get a cup of strong coffee.

However, they are now asking you to not only present some sort of "passport" at the border, but they require you to change your American dollars into those funny looking Canadian dollars (with queens and kings) that you would rather keep as souvenirs rather than spend.

To me, this whole "Canada as a separate country" thing has really run its course. It's time to just convert those provinces into states and bring them on into the United States once and for all.

Absorbing Canada into the United States would definitely be a convenience for me. And think of the money we could save by closing down those unnecessary border crossings and laying off those mounties with the funny looking hats and uniforms. And it sure would make it easier to get to Alaska and back.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about going to war with Canada or anything like that. Nobody need get hurt. Just occupy the country peacefully and make the necessary administrative changes. As for those French-speaking people from Quebec, stop it already! No more French! It's just not cute anymore.
