Doonesbury

In which it is pointed out that Bush II has only had 12 press conferences to date whereas Bush I had 141. Different by an order of magnitude.

Is a president who is afraid to face the questions of the press truly doing his job? It's true that he's not required by law to do this, but a long-standing tradition of doing so exists.

Roadside protest signs

There's some great protest signs on this site. I especially like the "Osama Bin Forgotten" that's worked into the red, white, and blue republican elephant.

This activity is illegal near interstates because these signs are "visual distractions", but as the the freeway blogger observes

So long as my local car dealer's allowed to show commercials on a thousand square foot TV
 right next to the 405, you can call my piece of cardboard a visual distraction, but I'm not 
buying it.  Going by those rules, the only people allowed to address commuters are those who 
either rent or own billboards, which may be fine for the sake of capitalism, but it's 
bad for America.
