The message for this fall

This is a commercial I would like to see:

The George W. Bush Magic 8 Ball

Thu Apr 20, 2006 at 05:09:45 AM PDT

I doubt Mattel or Tyco are going to go for this, but I'm going to put it out for comment anyway. Bush's "I'm the decider" comment the other day reminded me of nothing so much as a Magic 8 Ball. It got me to wondering, what would be the prospects for a GWB Magic 8 Ball? It could be red white and blue, with a white circle and the number 8 on top and a picture of our leader on the side, perhaps in his famous flight suit.

Bush's inability to put more than a few words together coherently makes him a natural for the Magic 8 Ball concept. I've come up with 10 possible answers that would appear in the window on the bottom:

I'm the decider.
Who cares what you think?
It's hard work.
I don't need to explain.
I know what I believe.
It's not our priority.
God speaks through me.
Bring them on.
We're at war now.
Mission accomplished.

We need 10 more, since the 8 Ball contains an icosahedral with 20 sides. Any suggestions?
