Eugene GOP Burka Parade.Five or six women in black burkas came wandering through the Eugene Hilton lobby where the state GOP convention was having a pre-dinner social hour. People didn’t exactly stop everything and stare, but it had the feeling of obtuse performance art or perhaps a peculiar political protest. I don’t know if perhaps they were lost, or just taking in the sights or what, but they came in from the front lobby, walked single-file through the conference area lobby where about 100 Republicans were standing around schmoozing and having drinks, then after they must have found a dead-end at the back of the hall, they came back through again and out a side door. I guess there’s no reason it’s inherently weird, but given the current administration’s military adventures half-way around the world, this seemingly coincidental intersection of cultures seemed somewhat surreal.

I really hope that American Republicans at least get a chance to hear what you have to say. All the best of luck! I mean that. Posted by crallspace Jul 31, 04:05 PM # |
