Hilarious!

From the Washington Post:

Reston, Va.: RE: Protest Chants
John,
I used to work directly next to the Massachusetts state house and protest season was always annoying and hilarious. There were usually long choruses lead by a person on a bullhorn of:
What do we want?
(unintelligible dull roar)
When do we want it?
NOW.

John Kelly: At least you knew that whatever they wanted--peace? cheese?--they wanted it NOW! I know an activist in Somerville, Mass., who said that protest chants are really hard to do well. And many protesters eschew the whole leader-follower thing and are bashful about leading a chant.


I'm going to be laughing the rest of the day at that.
