Bridge Over Troubled Water

With apologies to Simon & Garfunkel, Bodhi couldn't help the pun. It seems some card-playing ladies have created an outrage that escapes Bodhi for expressing their freedom of speech. It was in China, but it's not the Chinese government that's upset. No, it's good ol' Americans. The U.S. Bridge Federation is threatening all sorts of punishments for the team who represented the United States at the world bridge championships. One of the gals wrote a note on the back of her menu saying "We did not vote for Bush" and it has created an uproar. Bodhi is assuming if she instead wrote "I love Mr. Bush" or "I voted for Bush" she would not be in so much trouble. The nasty ol' president of the U.S.B.F says the tournament is not the place to express political opinion. But when so many American men and women are dying in Iraq, and the vast majority of Americans oppose this war, and Bush is steamrolling ahead anyway in a very Un-American fashion--where ISN'T the place for such dissent? Bodhi says, shame on the U.S. Bridge Federation. In the spirit of Triumph the Insult Dog...Bodhi poops on you.
