It was quite amusing to read that our most recently unemployed president was protested at his very first public speech after moving out of his Pennsylvania Ave residence.
It seems a few hundred pissed off Canadians in downtown Calgary barated our 43rd with....
....Blowing whistles and chanting "war criminal," demonstrators carried signs and shouted "shame on you" at people attending the event at a cost of 400 Canadian dollars (about 310 U.S. dollars) each.

I swell with pride for our maple-leafed northern neighbors. This is Canada for pucks sake!
If they can manage this kinda crowd, just think who might show up at some of the other brilliant stops W's PR folks must have in the works?!
- Maybe a social at the next Hugo Chavez political fundraiser?
- A front row seat at the upcoming George Clooney/Brad Pitt film premiere?
- Perhaps mohito's and the mamba with Raul in Havanna?
- I know, Bush as the keynote speaker for the National Council of English Teachers! He could do some real good talkin' for them folk.
But it gets funnier. It is reported Bush was scheduled to speak "on eight momentous years in the Oval Office." A befuddling speech text considering he set a new presidential record by spending at least 500 days on vacation while in, or should I say, out of the office.
