I was running late here in Manchester NH I had a haircut at 9:30 am, and my barber was late. I also had a 10:00 am appointment. As I'm leaving my barber I see a bunch of cop cars and I get worried that they would ticket my car because my meter was expiring. I start to run towards my car. I had just been inside of the shop for 35 minutes and before I went in I saw the television crews outside but no big deal in NH we have political big shot come through all the time. As I was running I saw a few people holdings signs. Being curious I looked at them and I saw one of them read
BUSH IS A FASCIST I naturally smirked in agreement. Just as this is happening two guys walking a Dog tell me to
STOP and pull out a badge.
Little did I know Bush is here in town today. The secret service stopped me and asked me questions. Did I know I was on the wrong side of the street for the protest area? I guess running and
smirking in America is now a form of protest. I told them I wasn't here to protest. Why was I rushing? I was late and trying to get to my car. I showed them my ID. They let me go ( the dog did take a couple sniffs at me). Now to be honest I understand that we need to protect the President,
ANY President but
PROTEST ZONES ! Now they want to outlaw agreeing with Protester if you are in the zone and they are out of the zone. See my barber is right across the street from the Radison where Bush is going to be speaking! Those pesky zoning law had me on the wrong side of the protest zone !
I guess being the political junky that I am I feel STUPID for not knowing Bush was going to be in town today, as soon as I'm done writing this I will go back down town and Blog about any interesting news. Bush is speaking at 12:00 and I'm sure they are closing downtown off soon. If you see the guy with the BUSH IS A FASCIST in Manchester NH tell him he is right on the Money!
The Secret Service just stopped me in NH because Bush is here!
