The Shrub "Failed State By '08" campaign tour spreads its propaganda about "Moving America Forward (into an oncoming train)" at Lee's Summit High School in Lee's Summit, MO on Tuesday, Sept. 7.  Haz-Mat crews are on standby to clean up the toxic waste left in its wake.

As I was driving northbound on U.S. 71 Hwy towards downtown Kansas City, Missouri this morning, I had the dubious pleasure of seeing the Shrub motorcade of official cars and busses heading southbound en route to Lee's Summit High School, from which I graduated over 20 years ago.  This was totally an unexpected "treat" for me after sitting in rush hour traffic for close to 30 minutes.  I didn't want the entourage to be disappointed in my not showing "support" for the Shrub Failed State By '08 campaign tour, so as the long line of cars and busses passed me headed in the opposite direction, I decided to let them know that I thought they were "number one" by raising a finger at them.  However, as I put my arm out the window, my left index finger inexplicably experienced severe cramping and I could not extend it upward, so I was not able to use it to show my support.  I was forced instead to use its neighbor, the middle one, to let them know they are "number one" in my book.

I just hope Dumbya's motorcade appreciated my "sincere" gesture of "support" for their cause; Moving America Forward (into an oncoming train).

Maybe he was there to finally complete his GED certificate since I'm sure he never showed up for high school, the start of a continuing and very bad habit.
