Janeane Garofalo is performing at the Somerville Theatre tonight as part of the AltCom (Alternative Comedy) Festival. The 'Teabaggers' from New Bedford are coming to Davis Square to protest this, according to the Boston Herald and the Somerville Journal Blog.

Funny you mention them. I was telling someone about the big anti-war protest in NYC in 2004. I was trying to put together a story and the "Billionaires for Bush" were there, and I got talking to one of the women involved and was told their "counter-protest" involved tea and crumpets and a polo match in Central Park. I asked who won the polo match and she smiled and said "Silly man- the rich won. The rich always win."

Best off-the-cuff retort EVAH.

Anywho, sorry I was working and missed the chance to catch this circus. I would have enjoying taunting the right-wing shitheads.
