Politics: Protest Goes…
nowhere? Not quite. The organizers decided at the last moment to move the protest to the Universalist Church, indoors. It’s for the press’s comfort, I gathered. It’s cold, wet and windy here but not as bad as it could be. Here are some pics from the Liberty Pole, with comments. I went back to work rather than pursue further protesting. Organization grade: C-
UPDATE: President Bush came to Rochester, New York today. Previous posts on the visit here and here. Thanks, Pat!
UPDATE: Here’s the President’s address, and his conversation with some local folks.
BTW, the guy with his hand up just butted in and started giving directions. He admitted he was not with the organizers. The little girl was heard to exclaim “Lame! Lame! Lame!”
This is the Liberty Pole, the site of the protest today. It’s a, well… pole.
Here are the diehard protestors. Some Building Trades guys were wandering around, too.
