Norm of Normblog has his own Bush protest going, but it's not what you think.
This is my protest. It's not against the visit of President George Bush to the UK; it's against those who are protesting against his visit by marching in London today. And just to clear red herrings out of the way since I don't want to have to talk fish here, no, I don't deny anyone's right to protest, I just regret the way they're choosing to exercise it on this occasion. Like I don't have to deny your right to divorce your spouse if I think you're making a mistake in doing so, and you don't have to deny your uncle's right to his beliefs or deny the freedom of association if you think he's wrong-headed for belonging to a certain political organization...
