Nix Bits

Celcus tipped me to this post by Karen Gadbois.  She’s been up in D.C with several other locals and they gave it to Donald Powell. I’ve said it before that I wish we had at least one local or state official with enough backbone to tell Mr. Powell that he is no longer welcome in our city. As usual down here, it takes a group of regular citizens to get the job done.

As Celsus succinctly put it

In a room full of people who embody everything we define as American, and defy every pundit and pinhead’s ill-informed blather, who could fill books of “up by your bootstraps” stories, the representative of the leader of the free world thought it best to insult and belittle them. But this was not the usual sniveling little politicians and corporate yes men; they weren’t going to take it. I’m proud to share this city with people like this.

Too bad the exchange wasn’t captured on film.
