A 43 year old school bus driver was fired for reportedly making an obscene gesture at President Bush. The bus driver has now filed a union grievance in an attempt to get her job back. While Republican Rep. Dave Reichert did not see the gesture, that did not stop him from calling Issaquah superintendent Janet Barry.

A Loss of a Loved One and John Kerry
You may not agree with this person’s views on John Kerry and the 2004 election, but by god this’ll remind you of not just of John Kerry’s goodness — but of the sacrifice people with friends and family in combat go through.
