5. This deserves some media attention

I sent the following email to:

Keith Olberman - MSNBC [e-mail]
James Carville/Paul Begala - CNN [e-mail]
Bill Maher - HBO http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/ - Ask Bill
Jon Stewart - Comedy Central http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml
Anderson Cooper - CNN http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?10

Let me know who else might be willing to cover this angle (and add your own emails to pique their interest.)

=========================================
This is a news angle/tidbit you may want to consider:

The recent expose' of Bush's military records begs the questions "WHY did he disregard a direct order.......WHY didn't he report for his physical?

What's yet to be revealed about the missed physical and the "missing months" in his military records is his participation in a communitty service program for an alleged cocaine arrest.

According to J.H. Hatfield's book "Fortunate Son", "Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in Houston in 1972" and he later "get off with a little community service at a minority youth center" known as Project P.U.L.L

Note that an AP timeline of Bush's ANG service reveals that in May-July 1973 he participated in non-flying drills at Ellington and worked at AN INNER-CITY POVERTY PROGRAM earlier in the year.

So to answer the brand new burning questions of "WHAT did he REALLY do and WHEN did he do it?", The World's Shortest Blog offers this "One Simple Question" challenge: If you find your way into a public forum and ask Bush "How many times have you been arrested, Mr. President?" you can claim a bounty currently worth $1800 and growing as contributions are added through PayPal.

This would make for a great "running gag" as you track the Bounty's growth on a daily or weekly basis!

=====================

While this isn't any laughing matter, maybe using a little levity will entice the media to give it some coverage.

7. Over $1900

$1909.00

And to think this started out at just $100.

Read the fine print -- if the bounty is not claimed by election day, the balance will be donated to the DNC. This is a worthwhile target if you have a few extra dollars lying around.

If this gets any national attention outside the Internet, it could get interesting.

9. At $2000

Somebody donated to make it an even $2000.

In these hard times, $2000 is nothing to sneeze at. Come on, people if Chimpy is in your area, go see him. Ask him the quesion -- just make sure that if you have long hair, it's secured. You wouldn't want this to happen:
