Bush's minstrel show


President Bush and his wife visited Howard University the other day, the predominantly black school in Washington, DC. Thursday was soul food day at Howard, and students were looking forward to a lunch of chcken, collard greens and corn bread. Unfortunately, the Secret Service put the cafeteria off limits, so the Prez could attend a "Youth Summit" and Blackburn Hall, where the cafeteria is located. Tempers flared, and a student protest ensued. While Bush waved at the television cameras, students tried to break through the security personnel to get to the cafeteria. Eventually, campus officials let students eat lunch, if they lined up at the back door of the cafeteria and asked for a chicken plate to go.

Hey, it's better than dogs and fire hoses!
