BITTER ENDERS:

Group holds fast to Kerry cause with Beacon Hill vigil (Donovan Slack, December 29, 2004, Boston Globe)

The election is long over. A new year is starting, and even most of the more ardent liberals are moving on. But in Louisburg Square this week, one determined group isn't quite ready to let go. About a half dozen supporters of John Kerry are holding vigil in front of his house, still hoping for a Kerry presidency.

The little knot of demonstrators, calling themselves the Coalition Against Election Fraud, stood shivering in the cold yesterday, hoisting signs and pressing fliers into the hands of bewildered passersby. Taxi drivers, neighbors digging cars out of the snow, and Beacon Hill residents who happened to be strolling by were subjected to earnest pleas to join the cause.

''Who knows? Maybe we'll overturn the election," said Sheila Parks, a vigil organizer.


A: Everyone else.

I hope they weren't expecting Kerry to invite them in, though I can easily imagine him sipping Dom Perignon and standing in front of a bay window thinking, "I can't believe I'm beholden to these idiots."

At least there's a market for this (via The Corner).

Do you want to know what I'm thinking about as I look out at those poor souls in the cold? I'm thinking, 'more people driven into the streets by George Bush's misadministration.' I'll have some blankets sent out to them.

Odds are they're either trolling for low-cost home loans, or free ketchup from Teresa.

What are they doing at Beacon Hill when they should be at Area 51? Don't they realize it was the space aliens along with Bigfoot that stole the election for Bush?

Ketchup! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have some sent out to them.
