At Least He's Got an Exit Strategy

Shuffleboard? West Side Story? Applesauce? Poppycock!

Apparently, it's hang gliding that is the new early bird dinner for the active elderly amongst us. And leading the way: The elder of the George Bush's.

Former US President George Bush celebrated the grand reopening of his presidential museum in Texas with a surprise skydive. It was the 83-year-old's sixth skydive and his first since 2004, when he jumped to celebrate his 80th birthday. He said he plans to skydive in 2009 for his 85th birthday.

Those who picked Bush in DP '08 could not have been hoping for this. But who can blame him? Nothing says "grand presidential museum reopening" like skydiving.
