Dave,
For IP, if you wish.
From: EEkid@xxxxxxx
"You mean my First Amendment right to freedom of speech doesn't

in here (pointing down) was his response."
Recently, I was told by a long-time family friend that
there are public-address announcements in Houston Airport
that anyone making jokes about any member of the Bush family
within airport premises would be detained. She made a big
deal of having to convince a Houston-dwelling friend of hers
to go with her to the airport and hear them for herself
when the friend expressed scepticism.
Of course, Houston Airport is also known as George Bush
Intercontinental Airport. Still, I'd love to know whether
anyone has ever actually been charged with Bush-mocking.
And whether Jon Stewart is banned from the airport for life.
