If I don't acknowledge it, is the bad stuff still there?

Capitol Hill Blue (I like their subtitle) links this article:

Bush's motorcade raced to the speech at high speed without incident, passing thousands of well-wishers. People darted in between the cars and, at times, crowds stood within ten feet of Bush's fast-moving armored limousine.

Most appeared friendly. But security forces kept the about 4,000 university students and other activists who had marched to the Congress building, carrying streamers saying "Ban Bush" and "Bush No. 1 terrorist," out of view behind tall army trucks.

Inside the hall, one lawmaker held up a sign reading, "No War" as Bush began speaking. Seven others marched out in protest, after plans for a larger walkout fizzled.

The president gave no sign he noticed them or the demonstrators, mentioning only those "who lined the streets today for their warm and gracious welcome."

It's a better story, huh?

(When will Guam and Puerto Rico get their freedom? Statehood?)

"The terrorists will continue their missions of murder and suicide until they're stopped, and we will stop them," Bush told Philippine lawmakers.

Give that man some more crack.

...or, do what you want....you will anyway.
