taxpapers pay for bush political speach

pResident Bush visited my city - Janesville, WI - on Friday.

His visit was taxpayer financed because it was claimed to be a "policy address" on "No Child Left Behind" in spite of the fact he never even uttered those words. It was clearly a full politicized campaign visit.

Ironically - or appropriately, our VERY conservative, Republican-corporate daily newspaper had the following front page today:

Janesville Gazette Saturday 9/24:
http://www.gazetteextra.com/

Top of the front page headline:
"Miracle, a Symbol of Peace, Passes Away"
The white buffalo, died last night - sick since Fri., cause unknown She was born in '94 - the symbol of the coming of an ancient Native American prophesy of the birth of a white buffalo who would bring global peace and prosperity

The headline mid-page:
"Bush Courts Janesville"
Sub-heads:
President touts his economic, health plans; asks voters for help
UAW members lead way in protesting President Bush's visit

Ironic, we have Miracle (hope, peace, prosperity) the same day Bush (Dark Ages, death and destruction) comes to our city. I think this front page is one for Jay Leno's "Headlines".... Ages, death and destruction) comes to our city. I think this front page is one for Jay Leno's 'Headlines'.... "
