Politics: Less Free in Twenty-Oh-Three

John Ashcroft's Making a Mess of the U.S. tour 2003 will hit Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Salt Lake City later this month after kicking off with a policy speech here in Washington on the 19th.

Shouldn't all the bloggers in those towns (and we all know that Philly is one of the vibrant epicenters of the real-world blog-wise) try to get some kind of non-electronic presence at those events? I, for one, will run down any flesh and blood events taking place around Ashcroft's "you weren't using your privacy rights anyhow" tour, and post them in this space. Both of my readers should then attempt to attend whatever events they can, provided they don't mind a 72-hour bubble of intense FBI scrutiny (which is actually a lot of fun, especially if you know your way around the back-alleys of your hometown).
