'How to insult George Bush, wherever you are in the world'

is the irresistible headline of an article in the on-line Guardian's today, complete with action photo of flying shoes. Unfortunately it's just a survey of traditionally obscene and insulting hand gestures from around the world -- which turns out to mean just about every hand gesture you can imagine, including the Churchill victory sign. This is useful information, but does not solve the problem of what to do when George Bush is not standing in front of you.
