Bush accepts invitation to speak at Black Expo
Visit is hailed as an indication of the Summer Celebration's impact.

President Bush is scheduled to visit Indianapolis next week, where he would become the first president to address Indiana Black Expo's Summer Celebration.

The White House and Gov. Mitch Daniels confirmed the visit Friday. ?Bush will speak Thursday at Black Expo's sold-out corporate luncheon at the RCA Dome to about 3,200 community, business and political leaders.

Joyce Q. Rogers, president of Indiana Black Expo, said the organization began working with Daniels in January to secure a presidential visit.

Daniels said in a statement that he invited his former boss "because I believe it is time this great event was honored with a presidential visit." ... Mitch, you're such a shameless whore !

Rogers said Bush's visit "just shows what a positive impact that this organization has."

Democrats praised the visit. U.S. Rep. Julia Carson, D-Ind., called it "stupendous." ...WTF ???

2. What time?
If it's a "luncheon" that means "Noonish" & probably can't. Wish I could. Hope he doesn't fuck up traffic all day for those of you who can. Julia, who woulda thunk it?

I'm on the Music Mill's mailing list, too ... and one other one ... I'll have to check all my settings -- I'm probably missing alot of good stuff. :(

I decided last winter that I had to go to Bonnaroo at least once before I turn 40, so yupper .... and it was AMAZING.

13. I LIKE the way you think
Satanic war pig...that's funny.

I haven't heard a thing as of yet, I know they were having a meeting on Sunday to make plans. Once again, the Son of a Bitch and I mean that literally, will be speaking across the street from me. And the only reason he is doing it is to put a stick in the eye of the NAACP. I really hate that son of a bitch and I hate any person at that luncheon who falls for the way Bush is trying to use them and play them.

14. So... is any kind of protest going to happen or not?
My fantasy is to get a brownshirt uniform like this and give him the appropriate salute
