A 'bush' in my route - Orchid Board

Frdemetr · #1 03-09-2007, 10:07 AM

Mr GW Bush is visiting São Paulo, and unfortunately I live just 5km from Hilton Hotel; I woke up 6:30 AM and arrived in work at 10:00 AM, due to a monster traffic jam (several streets were closed for safety reasons, and to clear the route to Mr Bush). But made still worse the traffic in a city with 10 million inhabitants and 5 million cars are not the worst part; the way to Mr Bush was 'made up', to show a clean (and without slum quartiers, the one near Hilton was demolished - the much others remains, of course) and safety city, that São Paulo never was ("to put the dust under the carpet", this expression exists in english?). This is nonsense! Sorry for the relief.

Frederico, sounds like a tough morning!
I'd take the rest of the day off work and head for a beach!

Mr Bush wouldn't see the mess if it was in front of him... It is his special gift.

Hahaha, Rob. That made me laugh but really isn't funny at all.

Actually not funny and I doubt Rob meant it that way. It's true! Now you know my sentiments. I really understood the message of Frdmetr's posting. I really doubt "W" understood at all. Sorry for the soapbox. I'm off it now

It's not funny - the sad part is that it's true
