Just when you thought it was safe to.......

Time magazine cannot quite believe that George Bush will return quietly to his ranch,fish shoot and paint.

Instead it suggests that he takes a leaf out of the book of Herbert Hoover,another president to ,leave in the middle of a recession and who

lived another 31 years, during which time he was among the greatest champions of
children this country has ever known. He drove the growth of Boys Clubs of
America, the creation of UNICEF; he led the campaign to get food to millions of
civilians who faced a catastrophic famine after World War II. That's what he was
good at — fixing things like the engineer he was. By the time he died, he had
tamed his critics and turned up as a regular on Gallup's list of the most
admired men. How'd he do it? "I outlived the bastards," he said.
