Ramble: How about this vacation package...

Right now I'm listening to last weekend's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! Podcast, and I came across this interesting fact:
According to CBS radio journalist Mark Knowler, President Bush did in fact set one Presidential record- most days on vacation. He has spent 1 of every 3 days of his Presidency either en route to, or at one of his vacation spots. Most often his ranch in Crawford Texas. Over the course of 8 years that amounts to more than TWO SOLID YEARS of brush clear'n and mountain bike'n.

White House officials are quick to say of course that as he travels with his principal staff and lots of high tech communications equipment, he was never really... "on vacation" He was fully able to continue screwing things up wherever he was.
