Just a note to the post by B. Bradley above:
The “obnoxious” revving of motors was most likely caused by the members of Rolling Thunder who gather annually on this weekend to honor those who’ve sacrificed for us. It would be fitting that they would be at a rally for Senator McCain. They’re mostly veterans themselves who also give hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to charitable causes.
Unlike the Decemberists, these are patriots whose service to our country and their countrymen continues. And unlike Mr. Obama – who made no mention of those who have sacrificed for our freedoms in his address today to the graduates of Wesleyan – they will not forget those to whom we owe our freedoms.
While this might not say anything “meaningful” to Mr. Bradley, it speaks volumes to me.
