26 August 2003-- On my way home tonight (I'm now working my
real shift and get off at 7pm) I was cruising south on I-70 and noticed that
all the exits and overpasses were blocked off with police cars from several
different jursidictions. No traffic was permitted to get on I-70 north
heading towards the airport. Then came President Bush's motorcade, with about
30 motorcycle policemen and a whole slew of cars. I thought, for crying out
loud boys, he's not worth that much trouble. Why don't you drop him off at a
MetroLink station in East St. Louis and see if he's smart enough to find his
way to the airport on his own. I'll even loan him a buck and a quarter for
the ticket. If he's not smart enough to catch the train that says "Lambert
Airport" on it, I doubt he's smart enough to get us out of the mess he's
gotten us into.
