There is a great quote out there "you get the president you deserve" (ok, its actually goverenment) so what's with America's karma that they get what they desereve?
While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90-year-old Texas rancher (whose hand had caught in a gate while working cattle), a doctor and the old man were talking about George W. Bush being in the White House.
The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, 'ol George is a 'post turtle'." Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old man said, "When you're driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor dumb thing get down."
