"Ugg."

Normally, I don't like to just link to someone else's post, but I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!

OK, some background: I've never heard of Helena Keeffe, but according to her Web site she "creates art projects that serve as catalysts for social engagement." In this case it means she held a little contest asking people to go to Imagination Island and pretend President Bush has had a change of heart. A HUGE change of heart, basically realizing things aren't going so great for a lot of people, and he knows some of that is his fault so he's going to do something about it.

What would that speech sound like?

Some elementary school students had some ideas, and they are by turns bittersweet, peeved and downright hi-larious. Keeffe got a Bush impersonator to read the speeches, and it's a little scary how easy it is to see these words coming from the president.

My personal favorite is the one by Zoe Baker - surreal and pissy in one short clip, you can imagine Bush having a breakdown right at the podium. I've already listened to it five times.
