- Description
George W Bush in his usual cowboy garb has just blasted a library out of existance because he misheard the librarian who said that the 'library housed a tome on Occam's razor' - George Bush heard it as 'a home for Osama's lazer'. Refers to George Bush's anxiety about terrorism and a famous scientific principle attributed to William of Ockham which states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible.
