ok, so this is asshessh sidduqie, the guyon the right who organized the event, and helped keep it going for nearly 200 hours....and the guy on the left is a junior who voiced the republican view on the filibuster....which meant he basically showed up and got to be on national televsion......they were both interviewed this morning by al franken on his air america radio show.......and it was clear that al franekn was much more prepared as to the republican use of the filibuster in the past than this guy on the left......it was humerous......and asheesh was really on target with the student support for the continuation of a traditional voice for the senate minority through a symbolic filibuster of their own.......which would take place in a public thoroughfare on campus.....and on this campus the frist family just happened to donate the most public of spaces......i am impressed by asheesh....as i am impressed by the whole student filibuster demonstration......peaceful, fervent......in what is still a free america......
