Susanhu, you have got to stop with the catchy headlines, girl... I thought this was said a protestor was shot by a drive-by Bush supporter! And yesterday, you had one that said something about plot to assassinate the President... course you were talking about FDR...

clever, gets my attention anyway... kudos

I just got that phrase -- "Drive-by shooting" -- in my head and kept twisting it around to try to make it fit :):)

me bad.  Oh, and don't forget to think up a caption for the new photo added at the bottom.

My mind processed it as Bush doing a drive-by shooting of protestors.

The scary part is that I wasdn't surprised, thought it entirely plausible given what we know about that evil, thoughtless, horrible person.
