Pre-Emptive Gated Communities

Or, how to keep the rabble at bay:

Just like his father, President George W. Bush will return to Texas when he leaves office.

And just like his father, he wants a gate to be installed along a public street to limit access to his neighborhood.

Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm confirmed Monday that the younger Bush is seeking to have a gate placed somewhere along the entrance to streets leading to his future Preston Hollow address.

Yes, after his retirement, the elder Bush managed to get a bill passed in the Texas Legislature that specifically allowed "former Presidents" (no names needed) to have public streets blocked off as they saw fit. Wassamatter, no existing gated communities to any of these Bushies' liking?

Got a great idea, George. Rumor has it that under the new administration, lots of room is going to be opening up in the World's Best Gated Community. And it has a lovely view of Guantanamo Bay. I have a feeling it would suit you just fine.
