News in Brief: President Mulls Post-White House Future

President Bush spoke briefly with reporters this morning as he exited the White House on his way to Capitol Hill. Mr. Bush said that he had been giving serious consideration to his professional future and impending return to civilian life. He reported that after long thought he was close to ruling out post-presidential careers as a fireman and tugboat captain. No update was provided on the status of previous front-runners cowboy, racing-car driver, and professional baseball player. Mr. Bush's recent comments, however, have indicated an interest in exploring more entrepreneurial callings that draw upon his Harvard Business School training. His remarks this morning were consistent with this trend of thought, as the President reported that he is now leaning heavily towards opening his own sidewalk lemonade stand.

“What I can I say? I like lemonade,” the President said by way of explanation. “Heck, who doesn’t?”
