So it appears that John Kerry is coming to my town.  Ugg.  If that’s not bad enough they’re closing all of downtown down for him.  Instead of just going to one of our fine parks or some other location to talk they’re setting up the stupid event in the middle of the street!  That’s right!  The middle of the street in downtown which is also a state highway!  There is heavy traffic on that road 24/7/365. 

It’s not even just a single block where he’ll be speaking.  It’s about 5 blocks long and a block on either side of the main street.  That’s just about the entire city when you get down to it.  I don’t care who you are, you don’t shutdown a city like this.  Of course this is nothing new really.  This town loves to shut down this area for all sorts of events from car shows to art festivals. 

Anyhoo, I’ll be getting together with some of my former College Republicans and protesting.  We’ll make some silly signs tonight and meet up tomorrow afternoon.  The only thing I really wish for would be rain.  It’s not suppose to but it would be so great if a major storm rolled through right as the event was suppose to start.
