Around teh corner came this bus:



read about it here: http://www.bushlegacytour.com/bushlegacy

Apparently, this is a bus driving around the country to educate citizens on the REAL bush legacy.

It is cool, I am going to go track it down now and see what they have to say.

I would have had a better pic, but I had to run to the 3rd floor to get a camera, and then back down into the middle of the street (without looking) and take the pic.

Edited on Sun Aug-31-08 02:56 PM by nomad1776
The 3000+ from 9/11 and the 4000+ from Iraq

14. Don't forget the ~ 40,000 - 80,000 who die of lack of health care each year
Probably somewhere @half a million since Bushco was selected.

15. nope, was on my way to the airport.. didn't have time
looked like a neat bus though. there was also a "look into the faces of the aborted" bus/trailer in downtown denver one day. i saw it in passing on a taxi ride to the "AlObama" headquarters. i grabbed my camera to go back to try to get them to talk to me on film, but they had already packed up and left whenever i got there. i did get some footage of the "god hates fags" folks in town.. those nutjobs scare the hell out of me though, so i didn't talk to them at all.. just did some videoing and then got the hell out of there.

This guy actually carried his sign straight up to the police


The guy walking away in the suit is George Stephanopolous


Police preparing for Laura Bushs Arrival. (I was told it was Laura Bush)




Further preperations








An interesting car I saw.

13. By the way
shortly after the first pic was taken, the cops came over to tell me not to take their picture, but then a supervisor came over and said it was ok and they left me alone.

10. *WANT* to see them.
:puke:"The Bush Administration has engaged in a systematic effort to manipulate climate change science and mislead policymakers and the public about the dangers of global warming."

I hope everyone with new sweet little babies will remember in the next couple decades to tell their kid our president dropped the very big ball at the very time to do something.



I wanna see these people drive around Arlington!

you are not the first, and not the last, I am sure.

In fact, when I saw it, I thought the same thing. Then I went to the website they had on the side and saw that it was not pro-bush.

32. Be careful of that bus -- I think one of the Bush legacies is
impending apocalypse. Be on the lookout for unexplained boils or locust.

37. Nice street!
I wish them luck in educating people. I'm not convinced that most want the education.

If you get a chance to hear them, post about it, ok? :hi:
