Dubya's Been Taken Over by Aliens

I reckon my old mate George Dubya Bush has gone a bit on the strange side.

The other day he called up for a quick chat about the upcoming World Cup Finals in soccer and started raving on about how good the US team was.

He had seen his guys play and defeat someone like the Falkland Islands and was willing to wager the US will win the trophy.

"Ah, Dubya," said I, "ever hear of Brazil?"

"Yeah, sure, little country down south ... why?"

"How about France?"

"Heck yeah, they gave us the Statute of Liberties and have the Arc de Tower in London!"

"Germany? England?"

"Hell, do those guys play soccer together? Well, you learn things everyday don't you Grump!"

Well, seems like some of us need to Dubya, old sock. Anyway, I'm trying to avoid the temptation of taking a $1 million bet with him that America won't win the Cup but it is not easy.

Then it struck me, maybe Dubya's body has been taken over by aliens. Now it may sound daft, but think about it.

He knows bugger all about the world, or other nations, and he can't quite work out that free trade doesn't mean giving farmers subsidies to grow crops. Worse yet, he seems to be listening to some pretty strange advice.

How about this.

Old Dubya's key negotiator on climate change - you know helping to save the environment - just so happens to have been recommended to him .... drum roll .... trumpet fanfare .... by an OIL COMPANY!

Yup, the prez is getting fantastic independent advice on saving the planet from a person suggested by those that want to rip the crap out of pristine Alaskan wilderness and put in oil facilities.

Now, I reckon that proves he's an alien, as no human could be that stupid, right!??

If you don't believe me check these out. I rest my case.
