By Staff, Liteupbush.com
A group of New York City taxi drivers, Cabbies Against Bush (CAB) have vowed to 'Shine the Light' on Bush by keeping their headlights on during the days of the Republican National Convention. They have also offered Bill O'Reilly of Fox News a free ride to the airport if he makes good on his promise to filmmaker Michael Moore to join American soldiers in Iraq. CAB's free ride offer is open to any convention delegate who wishes to fight in Iraq. -- Harry Sheff
