It's true. He's on his bizarre Community Service kick. He wants everybody to do some community service to "Honor 9/11" victims... and let me tell you, if I died in a tragic manor, forget the candlelight vigils, forget the mass, and the public burial, and the tributes and all that... I really want Joe Sixpack to go pick up dirty diapers off of the side of the road.. That's what's really going to honor me.
Is it me or doesn't it bother you that he's asking everybody to do community service, when the only community service he did was after a DWI?
Here's some of that hot C and P action:
Bush Urges 'September of Service'

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush on Saturday closed out the final hours of his 32-day escape from Washington by designating September as a month of service to honor victims of Sept. 11.
``That spirit of courage and selflessness has shown the world why our nation is the greatest force for good in history,'' Bush said from his Texas ranch in his weekly radio address. ``I urge all Americans to honor the memory of those lost by serving others.''
He also introduced a new CD-ROM, guidebook and Web site, along with posters and other materials, that will be available to more than 130,000 public and private elementary and secondary schools, home schools and after-school programs. The guide, ``Students in Service to America,'' is for educators to help students develop habits of volunteerism and civic participation.
``As Sept. 11 approaches, difficult memories of planes and buildings will resurface,'' Bush said. ``But so will images of brave individuals coming to the aid of neighbors in need.''
Bush was spending a final quiet day at his 1,600-acre ranch before returning Sunday to the White House, ending his monthlong vacation that started in Kennebunkport, Maine, with a long weekend visiting his parents at their Walker's Point estate.
After a short stop in Washington, Bush departed on Aug. 6 for Crawford and his beloved ranch, where he roams canyons, jogs across the open prairie, fishes for bass and chops wood.
The job is never far away. Aides keep their distance, but they also keep the work coming. His stay has been interspersed with trips, official functions and fund-raisers for GOP candidates.
Appearances at 11 GOP money events this month helped Bush blaze new records in raising campaign cash, pushing his total to nearly $110 million this year.
Earlier in the month Bush summoned some 240 people from a variety of backgrounds to the President's Economic Forum in Waco, the nearest city to his ranch, to explore various aspects of the economy.
Delivering the Democrats' radio address Saturday, Rep. Martin Frost, D-Texas, asked Americans to use Labor Day to reflect on the events of Sept. 11, the character of the country's work force and the economy.
``Because on that infamous day nearly one year ago, a brave group of American workers proved once and for all their ability to respond in a time of national crisis,'' said Frost, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
``Unfortunately, today the state of the economy does not match the character of the hardworking men and women who drive it - and whose quality of life and retirement security depend upon it,'' he said. ``Americans are still working hard and playing by the rules, but our economic prosperity has disappeared on the Republicans' watch.''
