It’s nice outside today. Feels like a good day for a protest, right? Sure! They’re happening all across the country (we were tipped off by reading LAist). And sure enough, Houston is partaking in the trend. After all, we already established that we’re hip.
It’s being organized by The World Can’t Wait. And if you’re “red”, this will not, we repeat, NOT be your cup of joe. However, if you’re more on the “blue” side of things, this is right up your alley. Mostly because the protest is anti-George Dubya. The fine folks at The World Can’t Wait want his ass to be in the unemployment line yesterday, if you know what we’re saying. If you’re down with that, protest today. If not, then, don’t.

Keen to hear how the protest goes. I'm sure it won't achive it's goal easily and not in a single march... but mountains are worn down by continual rain....
