What did we do to deserve this? Pennsylvania went for Obama in a big way, Arlen Specter just jumped ship and joined our ranks, and now we have the Torturer-in-Chief deciding to set foot in the dear old Keystone State?
I wouldn't even have heard about this, it seems, if I hadn't just driven by the big LED sign outside Erie's new Bayfront Convention Center, but there it was, "George W. Bush, June 17, 2009" in big bright lights.
I guess the Manufacturer's and Business Association has decdided to mark their 104th Annual Event with the presence of a full-on war criminal.

Maybe Eric Holder will show up to make a high-profile arrest? Erie sure could use the publicity. Hopefully some people will get together to protest against torture and war crimes. "We the People" indeed.
