Here’s a good case for working from home, which I would have done today had I known about this. President Bush will be fund-raising near my office today, and in the short time he’ll be coming and going — which happens to line up with rush hour — major roads I usually travel, including the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway will be closed.
I’m not sure how successful he’ll be raising money for the GOP in the hour in which he’ll be speaking. Some New Jersey republicans aren’t interested in seeing him.

Ah yes, the presidential scurry for cash. Last time he came to town, he screwed up traffic for the entire city (Columbus) and screwed it up even worse when he decided he wanted Wendy’s and made them take him there.
All kinds of awesomeness.
I remember when Clinton came to Nashville years ago. Virtually shut down the city.
