Got what follows from a homeschool discussion group I belong to:

Hi Everyone --

Sorry about the cross-posting, but this should be a pretty cool educational event.

Disclaimer -- I am only posting this to let homeschooling families know of a great educational opportunity. Nothing more, nothing less. Please do not make this a big political thread -- that's not the intention. I am a firm believer in "Take what you want and delete the rest". I'm 100% flame proof.

Former President Bill Clinton will be speaking with John Kerry at LOVE Park, 16th and JFK Blvd in Center City Philadelphia on Monday, October 25th. LOVE park is located directly next to City Hall. Gates open at 10am and you can download tickets from John Kerry's website (easily found via a google search). As of now, it appears that there are still tix available.

Be warned that even though this is a ticketed event, there will be zillions of people and visibility may be limited. I do not recommend driving, as I'm certain many of the local streets will be closed to traffic. The smartest way to come into the city is via public transit -- but check with the SEPTA website and make sure that they will be allowing trains to stop at Suburban Station (right under LOVE Park).

If you do drive -- there is plenty of free, unlimited parking between South and Catherine, and between Broad and 13th. It is an easy, 15-20 minute walk up broad street to Love Park.

Oh -- the one thing I noticed on out tix is that, for security purposes, you can't bring signs, bags, or umbrellas. Travel light.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to ask Bubba about those "nuisances" from his administration, a/k/a the first WTC bombing, the african embassy bombings, the Cole bombing, having OBL offered up on a silver platter.

Then, just for fun, since JFK appears to have the gift of perfect hindsight, ask him what he would have done differently than Bill.

My impression also. Part of Philadelphia where the streets were planned before the automobile was invented. I sure hope they know what they're doing. Or, let me rephrase this: I sure hope they DON'T know what they're doing, and tick off a lot more suburban Philly and NJ commuters than they inspire!

I agree. It's a stinking nightmare driving around that area in normal traffic at 10:00 AM. If any kind of crowd shows up, this will tick off a lot of people, I'll wager.

Look for me on TV! I'm gonna be there with my police escort (my son). I'll be wearing my Catholics against Kerry shirt.

Is Clinton late again?

[Mo1]

The local news is saying it's a noon time rally

[redbaiter]

I knew something was up when I got on the 8:43 train to Philly this morning. Group of adults waiting at the platform, several of them turned to look at me coming up the stairs and, I must say, they glared at me. For no reason whatever. I don't have BUSH/CHENEY tattooed on my forehead after all, and I have no buttons, placards, nothing political on my person. But they just plain glared at me. Maybe it's my brush cut and clean-shaven face.

And then I saw all the Kerry/Edwards buttons. Such sweet people.

The crowd wasn't very big. Love Park is a small place anyway. Lots of people were leaving during Kerry's stump speech, and lots were over shopping at the market etc.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

they mentioned you don't need a ticket and any one that wants to attend can

They handed out tickets to get in the good section. But they handed them out on the street for nothing. I took two just to throw them away.

Quite a contrast with Bush rallies, where there is such demand that they must ticket.

If looking pale, wan, thin, and with larger eye bags than ever are signs of recovery from a heart bypass, Clinton is doing fine. I wish him good health.

[Mo1]

Pulling folks from the street??


What they couldn't even get the Unions folks to attend ???


HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Mo1]

I'm hearing on the radio that Fast Eddie just admitted that at least 2 counties were late in getting the absentee ballots out .. whereas he has denied there was a problem in getting them out before this

[Mo1]

Apparently Fast Eddie said that he will over night the ballots to the troops
