Ariastis writes "Jack Thompson has filed documents with a federal court in Florida requesting to subpoena President George W. Bush for a deposition to retain Thompson's license to practice law. Ah, and Jeb Bush too, for good measure."

      I wonder how this will play out...

      Jack: Mr. Bush, multiplayer kill-simulators are training young children to become killers.
      Bush: Kill...simulators?
      Jack: Yes. An example would be Counter-strike, where a player can be counter-terrorist or terrorist-
      Bush: TERRORIST!
      Jack: Yes, yes. Terrorist. And they play over the internet-
      Bush: The internets? Do they use The Google?
      JacK: Uhh...I'm sure they do...
      Bush: So The Google and the Internets are related to terrorists!
      Jack: Well, no...
      Bush: Put me through to Homeland Security! Every person found using the Internets will be taken into custody!
      Jack: Not what I was looking for...but works either way.
