We went to see John Edwards speak on Wednesday, July 14. I didn't get to see
him, though. We had our tickets and were in line and right after we
gave our tickets to the lady, security sent us to a different area.
When we got there, they sent us back to the original line. We then
heard them talking about opening up a line in that same area, so we
decided to stay there for when they opened up the line anyway. They
told us to move AGAIN, so we just went and sat in the grass in the
shade with a bunch of other people and had a pretty decent view.
Then Secret Service came over and told us we couldn't sit in the
grass. (I think they were just making up rules as they went along.)
The Secret Service guy tells us not to be mad at John Edwards, be mad
at the Secret Service. Then I decided to make the smartass
comment, "Yeah, GEORGE BUSH'S Secret Service!" which incites a mini
riot and I subsequently get kicked out. I did get quite a few
pamphlets handed out, so it wasn't a total bust.
Here's a picture of part of the crowd. Take this many people by about 10 and that's how many people were there.
Once in a while I pick up the Weekly World News at the grocery store while waiting in line. One time, I read that Osama isn't really the 6'5" giant people claim to be, he's actually a dwarf! This story was accompanied by a midget-sized Osama dancing a jig.
There is a lawyer in San Fransisco claiming that he has information that Osama actually died several years ago. It's not an entirely insane notion, I've read reports of Osama having been hooked up to dialysis for many years. Really, I'm just flabbergasted by this report.
I watched the Daily Show the night that Wolf was on and I was a bit taken back when Wolf just laughed and made the comment of making mistakes in regards to faulty intelligence. I make mistakes all the time, but people usually don't die as a result.
I really like this opinion about the religious right and public morality.
One last thing; DV should hook up with these guys!
