Shrubs chickens come home to roost.

Don't hate the media,become the media.
"...I was at the speech. The protester (Ian Goldsmith)was a member of the 
SSTC (Stockton Save the Trees Coalition). He jumped up during Bush's speech 
in his tree costume (see photo) and began singing "don't cut me down" to 
the tune of the Beatle's song "Don't let me down". He was able to yell 
"Tree Butcher!" "Trees are people too!" and "Boycott Wood!" before being 
carried away by the Secret Service Goons.
I don't know what happened afterwards because I had to go and bail Ian out 
of jail.

Good for you Ian and we wish you all the best of luck in the struggle for 
what is Right!
We watched on TV and it happened in the middle of Bush's chicken ramblings.
Seems Russia reneged on a deal with US to buy chickens.
Then, according to Bush, the Russians agreed to deal and buy the chickens. 
Bush attributed this to our unique ability to unite and work together.
(leaving the impression that one cannot do business with the Russians - or 
the Russians are backstabbers.)
But my question remained unanswered - Why did the Russians not want our 
wonderful chickens? After all China wants our Rice. Columbia wants our 
coffee. Cuba wants our sugar and the world cannot live without our 
pineapples. Soon we will be shipping snow 'made in USA' to Siberia!
Either or, end of story.
Seems Russia rejected the chickens because of Health and Safety issue. 
(could it be e-coli?)
USA backed down and agreed to tighten regulations to satisfy their 
requirements - and that is why the deal was finally consummated.
Did you noticed that the males behind him on the podium, except for the 
mayor, were not wearing ties, in open shirts.
My theory - to give the impression that Stockton is full of a bunch of farm 
yodels who worry about the size of tomatoes.
I love this town. I love its diversity. Bush's stereotyping is an insult to 
the people.
