Last night, several of us protested Chris Simcox, the racist scum who founded the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. He spoke last night at Georgetown University. We attended a protest organized by a student group, though it looked way too much like an ANSWER rally. However, Simcox's speech was interrupted by a fire alarm. Then, as he left, at least one protester was able to get into his face within inches of him before she was wrestled away. This happened after a couple of us, including me, were told to leave Georgetown, which is a private university. They don't have to give us a reason and declined to give us one several times. However, at least someone succeeded at disrupting Simcox's official escort. It wasn't as successful as students at Columbia University, who recently succeeded in preventing Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist from speaking, but it was better than a lot of protests I have been to.
Secondly, and seemingly unrelated, though much more related than most imagine, I have decided to blog my entries to my Yellowstone Newspaper. Each time I add to the newspaper, you can see what's new for the day (rather than seeing the whole paper at once - to each his own) at this blog. It also allows people to comment on articles more easily and directly.
Okay, that's all for today.
