Students, community members protest Rice's visit

Less than a hundred feet from the entrance to Jadwin Gymnasium, where Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke this afternoon, students and community members rallied in protest of the Bush administration's policies at home and abroad.

Earlier in the day, about 160 people attended a rally in Palmer Square that included remarks by Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.), a former plasma physicist whose district includes the University, and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.).

Also speaking at the rally was Sue Niederer, who lost her son in Iraq last February. "I cannot bring back my son," she told the crowd. "But what I can do is save other parents from opening the door some day and seeing two military idiots, untrained in how to talk to parents, saying, 'Uh, sorry.' Well, sorry doesn't cut it."

More, including Rep Rush Holt's call to withdraw from Iraq beginning Oct 16(!): http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/09/30/news/13275.shtml

2. High IQs = Bush Haters...

...intelligence gives one the ability to tell an asshole when one sees them. Think about it-Princeton, one of the best universities in the country. Smart people. Unlike BushCo., where their $$$ simply bought diplomas for them.
