23. If a guy can get 37 months in prison for joking in a bar

about a "Burning Bush", then why in the hell aren't the Secret Service or FBI frogmarching these two idiots?

But then Richard Humphreys of Portland, Oregon, made an absurd and no less surrealistic comment about a "burning Bush" during Dubya's March 2001 trip to Sioux Falls. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison for making the comment in a bar. "I said God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," Humphreys testified during his trial. "I had said that before and I thought it was funny."
