War of the T-Shirts

I decided I'd write something about the State of the Union address given by President Bush last night, but was distracted by the removal of 2 women from the U.S. Capitol. One, invited by Rep. Lynn Woolsey, was arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted and jailed for 4 hours. She was arrested for unlawful conduct because she refused to coverup an anti-war T-shirt which read "2,245 Dead. How many more?" Maybe she was arrested because she had her numbers wrong. According to U.S. Central Command, 2,483 men and women have died in Iraq. That number doesn't even include the 16,549 who have been wounded or the 31,891 Iraqis who have died in the conflict. Or, maybe she violated the dress code, does anyone know if there is a dress code for the Capitol? Yeah, that's probably it because Senior House of Representative Bill Young's wife was ordered out of the building during the State of the Union address because she had on a t-shirt that read "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedon". A guard at the House chamber called her "a demonstrator and a protester". Of course, she wasn't arrested, handcuffed or jailed, but maybe her t-shirt was prettier. Isn't it ironic that we restrict free speech in the very halls that are the foundation of our freedoms? In President Bush's 2003 State of the Union address he stated that "one by one, the terrorists are learning the meaning of American justice". I guess they got the message because I don't recall one of them prancing around in a t-shirt with anykind of message printed on it. So, if you've been wearing a Kiss t-shirt, or anything else that might be considered offensive, take it off! Remember justice will prevail and I'd hate to see you land in jail.
