President Bush had a direct effect on my life today.
 

I decided to take a "sanity day" today, so my daughter and I went for a bike ride. We ended up in West LA by the Federal Building and traffic started getting nuts.

I wanted to get on the 405 S at Wilshire, and the on-ramp was at a stop. It is a metered ramp, so even if there was a lot of traffic on the freeway it should at least be moving, but it wasn't.

Since the primary advantage of a bike in the city (besides parking) is the ability to weasel thru traffic I started working my way up the ramp only to discover LAPD there, not letting anyone get on the freeway.

I sent my daughter off to see what was going on, and apparently a motorcade with Bush was headed our way, so no one could get on until he passed. Had to sit there for about 15 minutes waiting for him to pass.

I figured that the freeway would at least be empty after they let us on, but no such luck. It is amazing what happens when you let a few 1,000 cars on the freeway at the same time.

Bush couldn't take his helicopter?

He forgot how to spell helicopter let alone knew what one was as karl rove was busy being fucked for being scum so he couldnt tell george what to do.

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone here has a heliport.

Wow amazing story. Thanks for sharing.

He commandeered an entire freeway for his own personal use? What a dictator.

The USA must be liberated!!!!!

Please. Thank you.

It happens all the time with members of every level of the government. Senators etc are notorious for blocking off entire freeways.
