Bush will be arriving in Atlanta today.
And the worst part is that he will be coming in at Dobbins Air Reserve Base right across the street from my office. I just hope he doesn't screw up traffic.

8. Heh. Thanks!
We are making them for ourselves here, but we're getting enough comments that I guess we should think about getting these out to folks somehow. :think:

5. Dobbins is NOT Atlanta, thats Marietta
I live in Atlanta. Marietta is a far removed suburb with a large Bush-supporting 'nascar dad' population.

6. Well, duh. Maybe I should have specified
Edited on Mon May-17-04 11:03 AM by RebelOne
that Dobbins is in Marietta, though I don't think anyone really cares. OK, he is arriving at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta. From there he is going to Buckhead, which is in Atlanta proper.

12. Deep indeed
and most of it will be regarding the Sarin that was found. Of course he'll leave the part about how it was Rumsfeld that supplied it during the 80's but hey what's a little sin of ommission compared to what he'a already done.
