President George W. Bush has an instant remedy for anything that ails this nation or his failed administration.

Go shopping.

============================================

Bush, in his most recent press conference said not to worry so much about the war, but instead, "go shopping".

This sounds to me like, "Nero fiddles while Rome burns"

=========================================

Shakespeare wrote in MACBETH:

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

==========================================
Nero fiddles, Baghdad burns, the Idiot speaks, our sons and daughters die.
