Taking a count: New England DUers, please check in!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

Arendt is trying to organize a list of DUers so that we can notify one another when there are events and protests. The Ashcroft protest was short-notice and hastily put together. If you hadn't checked DU for a few days, you probably would have missed the announcements.

NE DUers, let us know where you are!

34. Oh wow. Al, the whacked out weather guy.

I lived in Merrimack for 16 years.
Moved back to Alabam 10 years ago.
Used to watch Al on whatever that little UHF station was.
Couple of weeks ago I was visiting near Boston and there was AL! on tv.
Hasn't changed a bit.
What is WRONG with that guy?
