The "Hook 'em" horns of the University of Texas Longhorns apparently got some Europeans all a-twitter because they thought the gesture meant "devil horns."

Speaking of dolts who got all a-twitter, some TV nattering nabob of negativity actually had the gall to say that, "the Secret Service is going to have to rethink" the use of all the emergency vehicles and heavy security presence when escorting the president and his party back to the White House after the inaugural. The dimwit whined that it made us look like a "banana republic." (Don't remember for, but think it was Jonathan Alter.)

As for me, I LOVE watching all the security. The Secret Service facinates me. The President's lead agent is shown to his right in this photo. I happened to catch a bit of the orders he gave other agents. At the point when the limo stopped to let the first couple out for their walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, he checked where everyone was before signaling that it was OK to open the car doors. He called over to the President's 2nd lead agent (the one the President rescued in Chile), "Stay with me! Stay with me!" The 2nd agent gave a crisp military-like response, "Yes sir!"

Three cheers for the Secret Service!

Why now??? He did the same thing in 2001 when the Texas Longhorn band went by and not a peep. Is there no end to the Bush Bashing??

I have a different gesture that I'd share with certain Europeans. I wonder what they'd think about that one? :^P

Great pix Wolfstar, it's nice to be back enjoying the Dose, although it was exciting to be in DC for the Inauguration.
