...moaning about how horrid Bush is, and how he's the enemy, and how he should free Leonard Peltier, and what happens when you finally get the chance to 'take it to the man'? You wimp out. That's why the right'll always win; their ideas might be a little wacky, but at least they get out there and take action rather than sitting around on their behinds.
: Among a sea of Police issue Harley's, black cargo vans, state troopers, and caddillac limo's, I saw our President George W Bush. I always wondered how I would react to seeing the president up close and personal, and many ideas always crossed my mind, but due to my co-workers and my boss, I stood there silently and let the enemy pass freely. Besides, if I had pulled down my pants and smeared my sweaty ass across his window or even just flipped him the bird and spit in his face, what would I have accomplished? Probally federal assault charges, and even an ass kicking.Well at least I got a break from work, and got a good laugh when everyone else I talked to, who would have killed to seen thier "hero", and wearing thier patriotic t-shirts and waving those annoying little flags, didn't even get a glimpse of the man, kind of ironic, I was the only one on the wrong side of the road(well besides 2 co-workers) not even caring, and the next thing I know the car stops Bush smiled and gave us the thumbs up, and then the car kept on driving.
