Lubbock Left

Whenever GWB appears in the news, I breathe a sigh of relief that he’s no longer our President. When news about the George W Bush think tank appears, I breathe a double-sigh of relief that we didn’t build that thing here in Lubbock.

With the announcement of the GWB think tank, there has been an explosion of alternate suggestions; see the #namesofGWBthinktank meme on twitter, where people suggest better names than the “George W. Bush Public Policy Institute.”

Here are the funniest I’ve found:

• Texas Pole-dancer Qualification Review Board
• Laura Thinks I’m Working
• The “That Frog Blew Up Real Good” Foundation
• Halliburton
• For Ten Bucks, Dick Armey Will Eat Anything
• The Dick Cheney Institute
• The Strategerists
• The Institute of Fail Upwards
• Is Our Children Learning Institute
• Global Deciderology Council
• George Bush Strategic Vision Center and Ball-pit Funland
• The Center for the Limitation of Freedoms to Protect Freedom
• National Institute for the Hatred of France
• FOX News
• Clearing Brush
• Circle the Wagons
• Endowment for Villainy, Idiocy, and Lying (EVIL)
• Flat Earth Institute
• Rent-A-Decider
• A Million+1 Points of Light Foundation (Take that, Dad!)
• The George W Bush Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too
• Men Who Read My Pet Goat
• Operation Eagle Talon Hammer Fist
• Institute for the Study of Large Banners that Obscure Actual Policy
• Skull and Bones West

Happy Monday, everybody.
