Was Randi talking about any specific event or...

[merwin]

am I just smoking crack. She was talking about the carolers going to Rove's house and him getting all angry and calling the DC Police and Secret Service?

1. Yes.

I was listening yesterday, and it had to do with a group protesting lack of opportunities for scholarships/college-aid for children who had either been born here, of parents here illegally, or children that were illegally here themselves.

In either case, this 46-year-old Californian, who has dealt with this for decades, believes that California education should be available for all, and we should make sure that the brightest, who are HERE, should benefit from advanced education. Just my humble opinion.

2. That makes a lot more sense.

I heard her ranting about it (she LOVES to rant!) and only caught pieces of it.

Has there been any news coverage of this?

3. Randi, and possibly another source of mine on the internet,

have been the only sources that covered it, to my knowledge.

I know that the police arrived, and actually tried to get Rove to talk to the group, and supposedly he came out of his garage, and yelled at them - because they were upsetting his kids. And the mom who was the leader of the group told Rove that she was sorry - but he had upset HER kids! It was funny.

I have a stupid question - all the money that winds up in this man's pockets and he lives in a housing development with easy access, apparently. WTF?

4. Here's an account of the March 2004 incident, the apparent source

for Randi's riff: http://www.npa-us.org/04immrights/inthesetimes.htm

I rather liked the bit "Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain..." "GET OFF MY LAWN!" "...Anerica, America, God shed his grace on thee.." "GET OFF MY PROPERTY!" :7

Other sources on the internet about the incident include RW columnists who were simply appalled... Oh well. ;) }(
