President’s Golf Record Under Fire

Controversy hit the Bush campaign today amid reports
that the President threw away several trophies he
won while playing golf during the Vietnam War.

For years, the President has deflected questions
about his lack of military service during the war by
stressing that he used that time to develop the golf
skills necessary to serve as Commander in Chief.

But the latest bombshell is bound to renew scrutiny
of Mr. Bush’s golf record, as eyewitnesses at the
Kennebunk Golf Club said that Mr. Bush threw away
several of his golf trophies during a protest at the
club in 1971.

According to the eyewitnesses, Mr. Bush hurled the
trophies over the country club’s fence to protest a
decision to move up the club bar’s closing time from
eleven o’clock to ten.

When asked about the incident today, Mr. Bush
acknowledged that he threw away the golf trophies
but said he later climbed over the fence to retrieve
them after his dad yelled at him.

But Mr. Bush’s comments only fanned the flames of
controversy, as his former golf partner Charles
“Whiffy” Wiffington said that the trophies could not
possibly have belonged to Mr. Bush since the
President never won more than an honorable-mention
ribbon while playing at the club.

“I think he got a ribbon for ‘most improved,’ but
that was about the extent of it,” Mr. Wiffington
said.

In other news, Secretary of State Colin Powell said
today that he saw the plans for the invasion of Iraq
“at the same time as everyone else - when I read Bob
Woodward’s book.”adult moviemovies incestold moviesmovies breastfree movies nudescenes lesbian moviemovie gay postfree movies hardcorecfnm movieswingers movie

I’ve been posting lots more (geeky) details on Eclecticism, but the basics are that we now have a new section to the Hanscom Family website — our genealogy — and eventually, not only will I be adding information to it, but other family members will be able to create accounts, log in, and add information, stories, or memories to the tree if they wish.

It’s a little daunting at the moment, but I’ll see what I can do to simplify it in the coming days/weeks. In the meantime, feel free to explore!

(And yes, getting a “how to post to the weblog” written up for mom, Susan, Eric, and anyone else who’d like to contribute here is currently very high on my to-do list — hopefully that won’t be long at all in coming!)
