Protestors Arrested Near Bush's Ranch

From AP via Yahoo!

CRAWFORD, Texas - A dozen war protesters were arrested Wednesday for setting up camp near President Bush's ranch in defiance of new local bans on roadside camping and parking.

[...]

In August, hundreds of demonstrators camped off the road during a 26-day protest...But a month later, county commissioners banned camping in any county ditch and parking within 7 miles of the ranch, citing safety and traffic congestion issues.

Hm, "safety and traffic congestion issues", eh McLennan County? That was certaintly some fast legislation that got passed, conveniently keeping protestors away from Bush's ranch, I wonder how all that work got done so quickly.

Bushies like to talk about how George is "like one of us", a "common man". Such bullshit, he's the president, he can get legislation passed in three months that perfectly serves his interest alone, how "common man" is that?
