Have no fear, wrestling fans, for Prant is not the only witty one in the family...
Yesterday, after President Bush spoke at Kansas State University (go 'Cats), a man stood up and asked the President if he had seen a movie about homosexual cowboys. That man happened to be related to me.

What a glorious country we live in.
The following is a story from a Des Moines TV station:
Bush Caught Off Guard By 'Brokeback Mountain' Question
POSTED: 6:50 am CST January 24, 2006MANHATTAN, Kan. -- President George W. Bush hasn't seen the movie everyone's talking about these days.
Someone asked Bush at a question and answer session at Kansas State University if he'd seen "Brokeback Mountain," since he's a rancher and all. Bush said he hadn't.
The president, clearly caught off guard, hemmed and hawed when asked his opinion of the movie.
Bush -- after some hesitation, and laughter in the audience -- said he'd be glad to talk about ranching, but said he hasn't seen the movie.
The audience laughed some more, and Bush, who owns a ranch near Crawford, Texas, said he's heard about the film.
The guy who asked the question told the president, "You would love it. You should check it out."
"Brokeback Mountain" is a cowboy romance about two ranch-hand buddies who conceal a long homosexual affair from their families. The movie has won four Golden Globe prizes, including best picture honors in the drama category.
