Bush Protest: Shoes Thrown At White House
(PHOTOS)

Quote
President Bush was given an Iraqi-journalist-style sendoff on his last full day in office Monday, as tourists and demonstrators lobbed shoes, pumps, boots, sandals and Crocs from Pennsylvania Avenue onto the White House lawn.

Before launching the operation live, the shoe-chuckers took target practice in Dupont Circle on a 20-foot-tall blow up doll of the outgoing president, decked out in the flight suit he wore aboard the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier.

Crowds have been gathering across the street in Lafayette Park and singing "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey, Goodbye."

Got to love it.  Only a few hours left.

Arrest Bush.

Or, short that, just go back to this link, check the page at Huffington and find the Ann Coulter SNL video. Ann delivers the ultimate Bushie justification. OK, so it ain't Ann, but it could be and is quite funny. :)

Well, at least until the coup happens, eh? :) Kinda hard to believe there's not some nasty sequel that prevents the "end" of the Bushes. *sigh*

Oddly enough Nichole, I think a coup happened.  But a coup not to put people into power, but to check them.  A couple of years ago, its was scarcely reported, and when it was it was referred to as an "accident" - but nuclear weapons were being transferred from Dakota to Louisiana and somehow that information - among the most closely guarded secrets in this country was leaked, and that leak could have only come from the highest levels of the military. 

Well I know that Nichole, myself and a few others in here perhaps know that nothing - but nothing, happens to nuclear weapons 'by accident'.  No 'errors in paperwork' and no Air Force colonel, a pilot of a B-52, takes off without knowing those weapons are aboard, they weigh too much for one thing.

In that information coming to light, I think Bush et. all. were prevented from moving those weapons into the theater of war.  I doubt that was an 'accident' either.

I remember that event as well.

I rarely participate in conspiracy theories, but this one I could get really close to.

Most people think that the military is a mindless automaton, doing the bidding of the executive branch.  It would be comforting to know that they have a spirit and will that goes beyond mere service.

I have always thought that among the features that make the US great is that we have been gifted with the most amazing officer corps that have ever existed.  They remember their oath, even as their Commander in Chief might be forgetting them.

anybody know where those weapons are now?  I'm in need of a few.  I have to do something to get this snow out of my driveway.
