nash likes the first choice... most of the Americans here think the second sounds better.. and...

nash can't vote anyway.

You could saddle up a horse but good ole boy GW won't go--he doesn't ride. And those cattle? Not his, but the prior owner. He's what we call an "all hat, no cattle" rancher. But hey, go with the fantasy.

It is his ranch and I have seen pics of him on a horse. Are you saying he wouldn't be allowed to ride on it? As for cattle.... I would do the same... lotta work.. hire someone else to do it... Like growing nuts... most people that grow don't do the harvest.

Horn, you've never been to Texas, much less seen the ranch but you somehow know that he is an "all hat, no cattle" rancher. Really? Where do you get your wonderous information?

I've seen the ranch, I've seen and read articles about it. As far as I know, he does ride horses and the cattle is all his. Hired hands do the work and if he loses the election he'll come home and be a rancher. Bout how I see it.

We just upgraded from the economy chip to the performance chip. Several more MHz. Also made some other upgrades, most notably IR vision.

Look it up yourself. He bought it (1600 acres) in 1999, house was finished in Nov 2000--he's got no roots, merely a nice place to run away from DC. He doesn't ride nor does he "ranch." Never did.

How the hell do you know where I have and haven't been you pathetic imbecile? I was raised in Austin and Dallas and went to college at UTA. Wonder where my handle came from? Get a clue.

All hat, no cattle is still the best description for this "average guy" pretender. But, hey, like I said, go with the fantasy if it makes you feel better.

I'm almost certain I've seen him riding on TV. Will have to find a pic so you can recant.

Can't find a pic, maybe this joke from Leno will satisfy ya?

"You never see Bush in the Oval Office. He's always playing golf, or he's riding a horse in Texas, or he's playing tennis. You know, I can't tell if he's president or filming a feminine hygiene commercial."

Please do. Since I wrote the above I went and looked. Can't find a thing--did find *Reagan* on a horse tho from one of his commercials but that's it.

edit: I did find this video tho:

See my above edit.

I was surprised by the first site google pointed me to when I searched on "(removed to protect the innocent)". Perhaps I shouldn't mention it.

Heh, no, not good enough. Yeah, I didn't think you could. I've found blogs and forums that were looking but no one can come up with a picture tho many "remember" seeing one.

I thought the video was pretty funny tho. Will Farell really has Bush's voice inflections down.

All hat no cattle.

Heh, I'm willin.

I know horses can be intimidating--I've been around 'em since I was a kid. Nothing wrong with being frightened by them, imo. But to put on the homey ranching "act" bugs me.

You win Horn, I can't find a picture. Though I'm still pretty sure I have seen him riding on television. I did find a picture of his custom saddle but if you won't take Jay Leno's word for it then that likey won't convince you either.

Hang on, I found one:
