Burning Bush

Hey, how come Google can print that as a headline...





...and some schmuck who made the crack in a bar got three years in prison for it?

Oops, that was quick. The Google headline has changed.

Well, it's from the PCC Courier. We'll see if they get away with it, here in the land of free speech zones.

And hail to the daring duo who thought the whole of the U.S. should be a free speech zone, refusing to recognize the New Republic of Fascistan police state we used to call America. Where's the media coverage? Barely there.

[T]he crowd was a select group. Those who had opinions that differed from the Republican line were removed. Nicole and Jeffery Rank of Corpus Christi, Texas, were taken out in restraints by police. They were issued citations for trespassing and released, said Jay Smithers, acting director of the Capitol police force.

...Smithers said the pair had tickets to the event and wore clothing over their anti-Bush T-shirts. Once through the security checkpoint, they removed their outer layers and mingled in the crowd.

"We asked them to go out to the designated protest area but they refused," Smithers said. "They told our people they would not leave and sat down on their hands. We didn't have any choice."

Of course not. No choice at all. Did anybody refund the money they spent for the tickets they had to the event? How do you trespass onto an event you bought tickets for?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
