| George P. Bush Joins Navy Reserve |
| 2007-03-22 |
| George P. Bush, a nephew of President Bush who was a hit on the campaign trail, has been accepted in the Navy Reserve as an intelligence officer and has begun the process of being commissioned for eight years of service. Bush, 30, said in a telephone interview from his office at a real estate development firm in Fort Worth, Texas, that he was moved to join the service in part when he attended the rainy commissioning in October of the aircraft carrier named for his grandfather -- the USS George H.W. Bush. "My grandfather's my hero, and what really sold me on the ultimate decision was having the chance to see the CVN-77 be commissioned under his name," he said. "That was pretty moving, and I had a chance to meet some Navy admirals, as well. I had a chance to talk to them briefly about the opportunity, and I was won over." George Prescott Bush, the oldest son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said the death of Pat Tillman, the NFL player and Army Ranger who was killed in Afghanistan in 2004 in what was later determined to be a friendly-fire incident, "was a wake-up call for me." He said he even "looked into active duty" and had somber conversations with his wife about the possibility. |

| #9 Oh. Well. In that case I'll stay away from the nasty things. Not to worry, though. It's springtime, so my chickens should be sprouting any time now. |

| #7 I went out to shoot golf but they took away my rifle and gave me a bag full of clubs and a bunch of Golf eggs. What you do is whack one of the Golf eggs with one of the clubs and hope a Golf comes out of it's hole to retrieve the egg. Then you whack it over the head. I think you were eating Golf eggs, Fred. Those eggs are really tough and hard as a rock. |

| #6 Don't bother, Joe. I went out shooting golf once. They're really tough and they taste like rubber. |
