re: #488 calochortus

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?

The secret service doesn’t drink. They just shoot each other in the balls for fun on their downtime. They also wrestle bears.

(No seriously, I have known a couple of Secret Service guys, and they are a ridiculously tough group.)
