Rice Protest Idea

[Jim Westrich]

I should point out that this protest caused a big stir last week in 
Boston when a "suspicious" employee found an envelope addressed to GW 
Bush and naturally (that is what being is apparently what being 
patriotic is all about these days).  The official overreaction involved 
decontaminating two employees, closeing a major commericial/historic 
site, snarling Boston's ordinarily orderly downtown traffic (obviously 
kidding) for hours, and giving several people that smug sense of 
satisfaction that 'hysteria and irrationality in the name of liberty 
isn't irrationality at all.'
