Bush may've forgotten that he owns a small tree-related interest, but FactCheck.org knows he does.

Also, you can buy some from eBay (at least until they pull the listing, which I just *hope* someone has saved).

From FactCheck.org [emphasis mine]:

Kerry got his information from an article we posted Sept. 23 stating that Bush on his 2001 federal income-tax returns "reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise." We should clarify: the $84 in Schedule C income was from Bush's Lone Star Trust, which is actually described on the 2001 income-tax returns as an "oil and gas production" business. The Lone Star Trust now owns 50% of the tree-growing company, but didn't get into that business until two years after the $84 in question. So we should have described the $84 as coming from an "oil and gas" business in 2001, and will amend that in our earlier article.

Eh. Oil and gas is nothing new. Unless Bush had been clairvoyant and had known that he would "own" 50% a tree-growing company in the future ...
