DeLay protested at NASA. Again.
Nassau Bay Police were ready for protestors during the dedication of a wall in front of NASA. They had a "free speech zone" ready for us on the other side of a building, but we instead went across the street on Houston public property and set up IN FRONT of the wall.
Needless to say, they threatened us with arrest for a number of reasons, disturbing a City public meeting, but not allowing us to attend the public meeting. Blocking traffic, which we were not doing, stopping traffic, again, not doing. Standing in front of the wall on public property. We were doing that.
No one got arrested, but we made quite a ruckus. DeLay did not appreciate it and left right after the ceremony. The chanting of TOMMY, MONEY might have had something to do with it.
Meanwhile Spanky went to NASA and the guards LET HIM IN! But later the campus police put out an all points bulletin and surrounded the driver. After a few phone calls they were released.
Just another day for North Galveston County Democrats and Bay Area New Democrats.

Does anyone think the Bay Area/No Galv people might be having so much fun that they really don't want Bugman to leave?
Nice work.
