SAN DIEGO - Dozens of truckers protested at border crossings in Texas and California on Thursday, denouncing as dangerous and unfair a pilot program allowing up to 100 Mexican trucking companies to transport cargo anywhere in the United States.

Carrying signs reading “NAFTA Kills” and “Unsafe Mexican Trucks,” a few dozen protesters circled in the heat for two hours at Laredo’s port of entry at the World Trade Bridge on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“What do we want? Safe highways. When do we want them? Now!” they chanted.

Mikie I love you! He's doing the do in Australia! Get the tomatoes ready!

Aussies pick Bush for a 'dud': poll

A new Galaxy Poll says a majority of Australians believe George W Bush is the worst president in US history.



Mr Bush is due to arrive in Australia this evening for the APEC conference in Sydney.



The new poll shows that 52 per cent of those surveyed agreed with the statement that Mr Bush was the worst-ever president, while 32 per cent disagreed.



Dr Robert Marr from the Medical Association for the Prevention of War - the organisation that funded the poll - says most Australians do not agree with Mr Bush's policy in Iraq.



"Australians are not anti-American, they're anti the policies of George Bush, particularly the invasion of Iraq," Dr Marr said.



"Mr Howard has got it dead wrong when he says that opposing George Bush is opposing the American alliance.



"It is not that. Australians are sensible enough to know the difference between a dud president and good Americans."

3. My aussie pals
also know the diff between a dough head leader and his unsatisfied citizenry.

As for the NAFTA superhighway: watch how quickly the door slams shut once a few Mexican drivers (who do not have to obey the same strict guidelines as US truckers--like limited hours on the road) fall asleep at the wheel and jackknife their rigs filled with lead-paint Chinese toys. Oh, and who is going to be monitoring their emissions, which also (most likely) do not meet strict US guidelines?
