Passing through and momentarily stopping traffic

George W. passed through town on Tuesday and roads were blocked off. Forty-five minutes waiting in a long line of cars. I turned off my engine and listened to the radio to hear where he was and what he was doing. But……why Halifax? Did he think we wouldn’t protest? Ha! But then, he was brought in the back door and missed the 3500+ protestors outside. No incidents, just not open hearts and pockets. I heard there were only two pro-Bush signs; the rest were basically go home and take your war in Iraq and weaponization of space with you! (The students at school were irate that our school president attended the ceremony. He did offer an apology.)
