I'd like to throw something a lot more substantial, and/or rendolent, at him, but whaddya gonna do?
Why, you're gonna play an internet game!
Following in the footsteps of the Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush, anyone can take a virtual swipe at the US leader on the Internet thanks to a new game.
The aim of "Sock and Awe" (www.sockandawe.com), launched by Britain's Alex Tew, is to knock Bush out with a shoe, a feat already attained by 1.4 million players, according to the website Tuesday.
Aptly named after the US "Shock and Awe" military campaign to knock out Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the game gives players 30 seconds to aim at a figure of Bush ducking behind a rostrum.

Edit: I'm not much for games, so how 'bout posting your success/failure scores (if indeed, they score it). There will be valuable prizes awarded for the highest scores to any winners who are not lying.

I scored: 11, 14, and 16, with that last score being accomplished with 100% accuracy (16 for 16) in the time allowed.
Not a very challenging game, but weirdly satisfying.
