There were two intresting letters to the editor in the SF Chronicle this AM.
These citizens raise intersting questions. Does anyone have answers?
Boarded up for summer
Editor -- I confess I'm a bit anxious these days. President Bush is spending a leisurely five-week vacation in Crawford, Texas -- clearing brush from his ranch and dodging Cindy Sheehan. God only knows where Vice President Dick Cheney is, and Karl Rove is reportedly spending the summer in his Florida home. Who's minding the store? Has the White House been boarded up for the summer?

[What would happen if W's Neigbhor was Mexican?]
Editor -- What would happen if a poor Mexican or African American shot off a few rounds near the president's vacation home while a group of grieving mothers marched by ("Bush's neighbor fires shot near protesters," Aug. 15)?
Does anybody really think all that would happen is that the shooter would be given a good talking to by local police, not to mention the Secret Service or FBI? It's amazing what you can get away with if you are a well-off, white conservative male. And not just in Texas.

Answer #1- They boarded up the White House in 2001 when Bush took office. No one really has noticed much difference.
Answer #2- Everyone knows that "good ole boys" are always white, so this is just a ridiculous question.
