Were members of their group not the subject of the original op-ed?
If so, it makes more sense for the paper to print their response over someone else's, no matter how more coherent or 21st Century that response may have been.
No, the flower people also participated in the parade but I don't think they're the "grizzled girth-widened" hippies carrying the Impeach Bush signs who Grabar chastised in her original op-ed. In fact they describe the targets of the original piece as "some of our buds."
Right, but I read "buds" to mean members of their own group. I guess I have an easier time picturing a group called "The Dancing Flowers for Peace" using the term reflexively rather than as a shortened form of "buddies." But then, I don't do many drugs.
So, if not them, what actually was the offending group?

A bunch of fat ass graying hippies.
ReplyDeleteI havent' seen the Flowers, so that may not be mutually exclusive!
ReplyDeleteBTW, when do we get the Emory Village expose you promised a few weeks back? The old Jagger's looks more and more blighted every time I go by it.
