ok, so i was amused to read this online today.... U.S. Representative Rush Holt (D-N.J.) joined nearly 200 protestors outside Frist Campus Center (on Princeton campus)this afternoon, traveling from Washington, D.C., to participate in a student-run filibuster that has garnered national attention as it continues into its fourth straight day.

Holt read from Aesop's Fables in a symbolic protest of a push by Senator Majority Leader Bill Frist '74 to change Senate rules to make it more difficult for Democrats to block judicial nominees.

"You might have noticed a theme from the fables," Holt said. "Be careful what you wish for."

It was the same selection Holt's father, Senator Rush Holt (D-WVa), read to block a coal industry regulation bill in 1936.
