Speaking of protests, I live a few miles from where Obama had dinner with the techie A List folks the other night. Naturally there was a little piece on the news about it, and it included a few folks who had turned out with some signs protesting our local utility’s decision to install “smart meters”. There is a very slight tie in with the evening’s host, but it got me to wondering-if there is no overriding protest topic (GWB and the Iraq War for example) do these local sorts of protesters turn out everywhere the president goes? Does the Secret Service have a drinking game involving who can figure out what the heck the protest is about?
