Boa vinda ao presidente Bush de Brasil!
Maybe our president should have a nice folksy chat with these people and have them join in a chorus of "God Bless America". But, I have a feeling he'd rather have Shotgun Dick speak to them.

São Paulo: The confrontation between protesters and shock troops on Avenida Paulista, at the center of São Paulo, has already left at least 23 people injured. The protest against the United States President, George W. Bush, and his visit to Brazil brought together at least six thousand people this Thursday afternoon (Mar. 8) and closed part of the avenue.

One woman was injured on her right leg by bomb fragments near the São Paulo Museum of Art. She was on the road facing Consolação when she was hurt. Politician Jamil Murad (Partido Comunista do Brasil-São Paulo, Brazil Communist Party-São Paulo), who saw it happen, helped the woman and took her by taxi to the Hospital das Clínicas, in São Paulo's Western Zone.

Riot police arrived at 5:20 PM at Avenida Paulista to break up the protest. After the protesters had gotten to the São Paulo Museum of Art and had blocked traffic in all of the avenue's lanes, the police used tear gas, stink bombs and pepper spray. The confrontation between police and protesters sent people fleeing and turned the main avenue into a war zone.

1. Wow! Brazilians look great even when protesting.
BTW, what is the blonde girl wearing on her breasts?

That crowd is huge. I bet Chimpy never saw them. :grr:
