Amongst the bizarre details from this Wall Street Journal account of George Bush's visit to the US Border Patrol in Yuma, Arizona, are the details of the opening ceremony for the new Border Patrol station --
With bagpipers leading the way, the green-clad honor guard marched the flag 100 yards or so to the plate-glass entrance, and the flag was soon flapping in the breeze. A surprised German shepherd barked occasionally, more or less in time with the kilted band, as it receded to the tune of “Scotland the Brave.” Then a local Border Patrol chaplain prayed for God’s blessing on the new station, as well as for the “Christian way of life.”
For one thing, isn't a tad odd at an event opening a facility dedicated to keeping people south of the border to have the music be an unofficial national anthem of another country?
