Roundabout Thinking in the Roundabout Capital #5

* Chinese President Hu left Washington today after a fruitless gabfest with President Bush. No new policies or agreements resulted, only expressions of concern regarding human rights, the trade imbalance and Taiwan. Hu will stop at China's branch office, Wal-Mart, before heading home.

* Boo Hu. The boss of China was booed by a China-born pathologist who yelled to Bush to stop Hu from killing. Our president tried to comfort his guest, who governs a nation which endorses slave labor, torture and murderous put-downs of human rights demonstrators. They're bloody communists.

* How about an amendment to our Constitution which would bar Texans from becoming president? That might be mean, but it would save a lot of trouble.

* The Bush administration and its public address system (Rush Limbaugh, Ollie North, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Reagan) constantly brag that we haven't been attacked since 9/11. They say that means our "war on terror" is meeting its objectives. This is reckless talk. Why taunt crazed terrorists and give them a challenge? Shut the hell up, Sean et al. Idiots.

* The Rocky/Orrin performances in St. George for the past two days is bound to slow the growth of our Dixie. Who wants smog and radiation? The folks who were loading their belongings onto moving vans are taking a look at pretty pictures of Tucson, Yuma, Cedar City, and Mesquite. Oh well, we didn't want any more traffic anyhow.

* Let history record that Rocky Anderson, mayor of you know where, was the first person of note to identify SMOG, that four-letter word, over our pristine valley. We'll never be the same. Get used to smog alerts, bureaucrats inspecting your private places (?) and speeches urging us to stop doing whatever we might be doing. Move over L.A.

* Hurry back, snowbirds.
