Transiting through Bush's America: it ISN'T safe
A friend of ours has a sixty-something lady friend who was on an organized group trip to Mexico from Germany. On the way back, the route called for a change of planes in Houston (Mexico-Houston-Frankfurt). While in Houston, the woman was pulled off the plane in Houston by US authorities, interrogated harshly (she speaks very little English to begin with), missed her flight back with her group, was never told the reason for her detainment or nasty treatment, not helped further to get a new flight back to Germany, and roughly told by the US authorities that she was free to go, and she was evidently not the one they were looking for, so she was now free to get lost. She now refuses to ever again set foot on American soil, is telling all her wanderlusty friends to do likewise. LOTS of elderly wealthy Germans travel in groups like this. The loss to our economy from this incident alone will be in the millions before the week is out. This is the way Bush's America is building friendship with our allies abroad. Welcome to the Soviet States of America.

What are these jerkoffs doing to us?
