So, Bush is going to Mongolia. Is that geographically as far from D.C.

[smoogatz]

as it's possible to get? Just curious.

[Divernan]

1. He's looking for a retirement home/site for his presidential library!

Because he won't dare show his monkey face in the US.

2. Damn near. Just looked at a globe; I think his next stop

will have to be Singapore, or maybe the middle of the South Pacific. Those places are even farther away than Mongolia. But Mongolia is a good start.

[Spinzonner]

3. Going to Yak it up

[Divernan]

7. Ahhhh! He's going to enlist yaks in the coalition!

Where have all the DU yak threads gone to? Those were the good old threads!

[shenmue]

9. Yaks all the way, baby!

I think the moon is technically a bit further out, if he wants to go...I mean we did plant our flag on it and everything, maybe it is ours...I certainly will not stop him if he wants to go.

Not that I'm hinting at anything, oh nooooo.

11. They say he's afraid of horses; maybe he'd like yaks better.

4. What the hell is in

Mongolia. Is Bush buying time for something? Is bush cruising around the world one more time in AF1?

[begin_within]

5. It's just a family reunion.

[awoke_in_2003]

13. No...

the people there are MONGOLIANS not MONGLOIDS :)

[tk2kewl]

6. i think its about 9250 miles

[Skink]

10. Lots of brush to clear. Make room for the Yaks.

[mcscajun]

8. No, it would be nice to think it was, though.

Especially if somehow he couldn't find his way home.

:rofl:

Ulan Bator, in Mongolia, is 6445.6 miles from D.C.

Some places that are even farther away:
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
7684.7 miles

Johannesburg, SA
8114 miles

Arhangel Sk, Russian Federation
8656.2 miles

And, My Favorite Destination for the blivet**:
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica:
8915.3 miles

12. He is wonder how far can I hide.

[Obamarama]

14. Oh God, is he actually going to try to pronounce "Ulaanbaatar??"

The capital of Mongolia.

Maybe he'll find a nice, cozy yurt and decided to stay.

15. I hope they protest. n/t
