Now, as many of you know, I'm not usually a big fan of "take to the streets" activism - I think it's too often more about counterproductive, egocentric grandstanding than a pragmatic approach to changing policy.

Last night was an exception.

For my 21st birthday, the beloved Georgetown Hoyas gave me a wonderful gift - WE'RE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR!!!

This is DC, so we didn't just celebrate privately and leave it at that.

No, we marched to the White House several thousand strong, demanding Bush come out and congratulate the Hoyas on our victory.  While that didn't happen, they did at least turn on the floodlights on the lawn to acknowledge us.

Eat your heart out, Code Pink!
