According to the web site The News Vault, these are photos of First Daughter Jenna Bush changing into a bikini at the beach. As you can see, the clear indication is that the young lady in question is not a natural blonde.

And we also don't think it is a natural Jenna. Several clues. The President's wild child daughter's hair is longer. Her boobs are bigger than the young lady shown here. And those who have seen the exposed thong butt-dancing photo that is the real Jenna Bush say her butt is much, much bigger.

Still the photo is entertaining enough itself and it is truth in advertising because there is a bush in the photo. It just ain't Jenna Bush's bush and that's what it was supposed to be.

And, do we think the President's daughter has a navel ring? If so, would daddy be horrified. How about nipple rings? If so, we'd hope that's something daddy doesn't know about first hand but, then again, the Bush household may be a lot kinkier than we realize.

But, knowing the GOP like we do, we know that if daddy Bush got caught messaing with daughter Bush, the Republicans would just find a way to label the whole thing a ruse by the Democrats. Then again, maybe Bill Clinton will get caught in the sack with Jenna. Now that would be bipartisanship.

From that nasty little hamlet up in Pennsylvania comes word that Punxsutawney Phil, the weather-forecasting rhodent, saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter.

Ironically, the rat that roared saw his shadow on a warm, unwinter-like day and the revelers turned the event into an inpromptu rally in support of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who play in the Super Bowl Sunday.

The Associated Press reports:

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but it was hard to find a complainer in the crowd on Gobbler's Knob, where the morning temperature was well above freezing and Thursday's high was expected to hit 48 degrees. There were a few boos at the groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter, but most of the hundreds of revelers instead turned the event into an impromptu Pittsburgh Steelers rally.

Fans in football jerseys sang "Here we go Steelers," and members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle — the top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen responsible for carrying on the groundhog tradition each year — threw black and gold Steelers "Terrible Towels" as they waited to rouse Phil from his burrow.

The furry forecaster may be popular, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Our usually reliable contacts in the netherworld where Republicans think dirty thoughts and engage in shameful things like sex say the White House works overtime to keep the frolics and antics of the Bush twins under wraps.

Last year, the New York Post reported that Jenna (right), considered the wildest of the duo, flashed her hooters at a Manhattan club while getting down and dirty on the dance floor, but our sources say both Bush babes have shown more than their fair share of skin while out of the town.

Videos of both girls in various stages of undress have been shopped around by more than one videographer but they all want big bucks to get a glimpse of First Daughter charms and no one has, to date, been willing to pay the price even though Hustler sleaze artist Larry Flynt offers a million bucks for any videos but got no takers.

Have the twins settled down? No, say our sources. They still get drunk a lot, get nasty on the dance floor and like to feel up available men and engage in public acts that the Bush administration tries hard to keep off TV and the movie screens.

In 2004, David Letterman had this to say about the twins during the GOP convention in New York:

"You probably know it's been crazy here in New York City with the convention. We have had naked people in the streets. We have had all-night parties, arrests. And that's just the Bush twins."

Or Craig Kilborn:

"Hustler magazine is offering $1 million to anyone who produces a video of the president's daughter nude and drunk at a frat party. Finally, someone in the Bush family is doing something to boost the economy."

Personally, I wouldn't pay a buck-ninety-five to see photos of either of them -- clothed or naked. I would, however, pay good money to see their daddy in a prison uniform.

President George W. Bush's talk of energy independence sure sounds good as a TV sound bite but, as they say, reality bites.

From the Chicago Tribune:

If America is addicted to oil, as President Bush said Tuesday night in his State of the Union speech, the treatment plan he sketched out is likely to be long and costly.

And even if the country achieves the goals Bush set in his speech, the United States would remain heavily dependent on oil imports from volatile regions for years to come.

Bush proposed making ethanol, a corn-based fuel that currently is more expensive and less efficient than gasoline, competitive with gas within six years.

"Six years is really ambitious," said Mark Edelman, an economist at Iowa State University. "That's really going to take some ramping up of research and funding."

Edelman said Bush's proposed $59 million increase in research funding to $150 million in 2007 is significant but that many of the most promising ethanol technologies "at this point are pretty much in the beginning stages of research," Edelman said.

If that goal is met, and other breakthroughs are achieved, the United States would cut its reliance on oil from the Mideast by 75 percent by 2025, Bush said in his speech.

That's a big cut, but not nearly as large as it sounds. The United States gets only 20 percent of its oil from the Middle East, according to the Department of Energy. Far more oil comes from Africa and Venezuela, where governments also are either unstable or unfriendly to the United States.

But while journalists were unimpressed, Americans were downright angry:

Americans reacted with skepticism and anger at President Bush's fifth State of the Union address Tuesday night, reflecting a national mood that reflects serious reservations about the controversial war in Iraq, revelations about the administration's secret domestic spying program, and missteps following Hurricane Katrina.

At an Uptown neighborhood bar in New Orleans, both Republicans and Democrats paused to watch with at least one common hope: Rebuilding the Gulf Coast will be a top issue for the federal government.

But neither Tom Short, 75, a Republican and a Korean War veteran, nor attorney Todd Hebert, 38, a Democrat, found much to cheer about in Bush's address.

After Bush mentioned the Gulf Coast in one or two sentences deep into his speech, Short exclaimed, "Did I miss something? I think that's a crying shame."
