ndrosenI had a 4:00 PM online meeting of the directors of the Henry George Institute scheduled for this afternoon, so I didn’t attempt to go to a No Kings Rally in DC or elsewhere. I did have time to go to the drugstore and the supermarket before the scheduled Zoom meeting. It turned out that there was a No Kings demonstration outside the CVS store on Columbia Pike, right here in Arlington. Most of the people were across the street, where they had a fat orange balloon of you know who, but some were on the drugstore’s corner. I shouted “No Kings!” and otherwise conveyed my approval.
One woman on the corner near me had an “I miss Obama” sign. I approached her, and said, “Ma’am, compared to Trump, I would miss Warren G. Harding.” She mentioned that someone she knows had admitted to missing even George W. Bush.
I didn’t mention that I had voted for Dubya in 2000. Not in 2004, when I voted for the Libertarian presidential candidate.
