"We want to throw NATO out of Istanbul," said Dogan Aytac, a Turkish protester with a flag in his hat that read: "Get out Bush!"

1. Bush can't show his face anywhere on the globe with the exception of

U.S. military bases.

3. he can only show his face there

when the crowd has been carefully prescreened.

The military by and large are not fond of Fearless Leader.

2. Tough corporate media editorial decisions...

"40,000 sounds too high. let's make it 20,000"

[reprehensor]

4. You can be sure...

It's more like 140,000.

5. ..the most detested national leader on the planet......very sad.
