"Rove" Arrestd Inside of Hotel in Tigard

I had to leave before all of that happened, but that smiling police officer is the same one that kept flashing us protesters the peace sign and waving every time he drove through the intersection.

The Serioulsy Pissed Off Grannies,Did it again. They Punked Portland Police on Good Friday in North Portland,And Now the Tigard,Oregon Police and The United States Secret Service, Look out CIA, You're Next !!!

As I said last night at the Rove Roast-Off Protest,If you Ladies were put in Charge of stealth attacks in Iraq, (you'd of never went in to start with,) however, you'd sure have gotten the war ended 24 hours after it started.

Way to go Ladies !!! way to out think the Crooks !! arrest away...

Now about Rove's excuse, "that he accidently erased e-mails,not only is he saying I'm a crook,I'm an imcompetent crook"!
Next thin you know, he'll say his dog ate the Harddrive and the Tower....Is somebody going to supenae his and Gonzales harddrive already.

Oh,!!about that smart-ass remark he made about Democrats last night in Tigard,Oregon, "The Democrats first 100 days felt more like 100 years ".
Well Carl Rove,I measure yours and the Crooked Republicans in Office, in Dog Years !!!

Thank-You Grannies !!!

Talk about your local Serriously Pissed Off Grandma's

I really hope someone forwards this link to Amy Goodman, because from the listerv I gathered that the Grannies' celebration coincided with Amy's actual birthday. What a bash, and what spectacular party games!!!

We are here in the great Central Valley of California, one of the most co-nservative areas of Calif. I am so happy to see the pictures and reports of your actions. We actually have a website, too, just at beginning stages, but we are looking forward to sharing. We have a song or two that I know others will like. I realize I'm not sure of our web-address, but I hope you will look us up.
