09/03/04 "The Guardian" -- The US president, George Bush, was transferred to the Alabama National Guard during the Vietnam war because his drunken behaviour was a political liability to his father in Texas, the wife of one of his father's former confidants revealed yesterday. Linda Allison told the political website Salon.com that throughout the time Mr Bush was in Alabama she never saw him in uniform and had no idea he was supposed to be in the National Guard.

2. She knew why he was transfered to the ALNG but not that he was IN the NG?

There appears to be a disconnect here.

6. Put up another sign, wait for the thiefs to come around...

Photograph them in the act, and have those asses arrested for theft/tresspassing. If their cause is so righteous, if Bush was appointed by G-d, then what's up with all the stealing?
