Buy Bush a Playstation 2.

Buy Bush a Playstation 2. If the fundraising goal is met, the President will be given a PS2 with a copy of SOCOM and Conflict: Desert Storm, hopefully distracting him long enough to forget about the real war. Send your donation and you'll save a lot more people than just Karyn.

Just be sure the Playstation is designated as a personal gift and not a donation to the White House...you remember what happened with our last President!

WAIT A DANG MINUTE! I recall Saddam buying a bunch of these things to link up into a SUPER COMPUTER! Are you sure you wanna give W this kinda processing power???

Look, the PS2 controller is clearly too complicated for Mr. Bush. Look at all those buttons!

I'd suggest a vintage Atari 2600.

I think we'll have better chances of giving him Axis & Allies. It'll take him at least till reelections to figure that out.

See, I'd suggest a copy of Combat Mission - that way, he gets to give direct orders to squads of guys, and see how you quickly a seemingly seemingly unbeatable situation can turn into a bloodbath. Might be a good thing for him to see the results of hastily executed tactics.

..and send a cheesesteak to Dick Cheney while we're at it...

I second that cheesesteak idea. He's only hiding underground because there's a group of domestic terrorists who're waiting to sneak up behind him and yell 'Boo!'
