Bush trains his brain

Thursday 6 July 2006
Nintendo has treated President George W Bush to a special 60th birthday gift this week. A DS Lite and a copy of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day were waiting for the pres when he climbed out of bed on his anniversary morning, possibly in a world-saving effort by Nintendo to keep the planet's most powerful man as sharp up top as possible.

While you amuse yourself with other suitable titles for the man with the big red button (Advance Wars: Dual Strike, perhaps, or Age of Empires...), here's the fantastic birthday letter that Nintendo enclosed for Dubya in his gift package:

Dear President Bush

As the great man himself might say: "We're going to have the best educated American president in the world". Goodnight.
