Is anyone protesting Laura Bush in Boston today?
I would if I wasn't stuck at work.

Mrs. Bush in town to stump for husband

Laura Bush sweeps into Boston today to rally Republicans at a $20,000-per-plate fund-raiser that is expected to collect between $1 million to $2 million in the home state of her husband's Democratic rival.

The luncheon at the Four Seasons hotel will be hosted by Richard J. Egan, the billionaire founder of EMC Corp. and chairman of the Bush-Cheney finance committee in the state, and by other Massachusetts supporters of President Bush. Governor Mitt Romney and Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey will also attend the event. Romney is expected to introduce Laura Bush to diners.

2. Nice!!!!
I'll be there in spirit :)

I'm not very good at coming up with slogans for signs, but I'm sure there are others here who can help. You could always bring a huge picture of a calico cat, since John Ashcroft thinks they are the sign of the devil and all - http://www.snopes.com/critters/gnus/calico.htm :evilgrin:

7. Wait I Thought Richard Egan Was A Nader Supporter?
He and his family have just given several thousand dollars to Nader's campaign - you mean, Egan was only kidding?


Seriously, it is pretty said when you have so much money that you can contribute essentially pocket change to a candidate just to keep him in the race to hurt the other guy.
