George H W Bush shaves his head in support of the son of one of his secret service detail who has leukemia and has lost his hair to chemo.

 I think the Bushes were both poor presidents, but there is no arguing the fact that they are first class human beings.


   "When George H.W. Bush — aka “Bush 41” — was president he famously gave out awards for his “thousand points of light” as a way to recognize people doing noble volunteer work.
And now that the ex-president has shaved his head in solidarity with a 2-year-old leukemia patient, Patrick, maybe he should give himself one of those points of light.
Patrick is the son of a Secret Service agent, Jon, who is assigned to Bush’s security detail in Kennebunkport, Maine.  (Their last names were withheld at the family’s request.)
Recently, other members of the security unit started to bare their domes in support of Patrick, and they started to raise money for his treatment.
The 89-year-old Bush and his wife, Barbara, took notice. They had lost their second child, Robin, to leukemia 60 years ago in October at the age of 4."

  1. Can you imagine how long it would take to shave FLOTUS?

  2. Pissed, I suspect that it would take just about as long to get her in to a bathtub -- like a cat.

    I agree with you on the effectiveness/or lack of by both Presidents, and with your assessment of their bountiful humanity post-office holding.

    1. That mental image - trying to get the FLOTUS in a tub - eeccckk! It would take five or six full grown men dressed in full toxic waste space suits to do it.
