Any DUers watching the Jamestown 400th Anniversay
repeat from this morning on CSpan 1. Bush has just arrived and they're playing Hail to the Chief but I only see one native American on the platform. He's the only Chief present.

Tim Kaine D-Virginia :D speaking.

1. That's right
If I lived in VA, I wouldn't walk a step in the direction of Jamestown as long as the Chimp was there. Only chief to be honored would be Powatan.

2. I'm in Williamsburg
and apparently some of our roads were shut down for the celebration and all...not that it matters to me, since I don't have a car here. :shrug: And even if I did, I think it would probably still be more fun for me to stay here and write my term paper on Marburg hemorrhagic fever. Yep, that's right...Ebola-like viruses > our current "president." :P
