Woman okay after falling into Susquehanna River

Joanne Millard, 68, a resident at Riverfront Apartments, slipped on a rock and then fell into the water while dumping tea leaves from a plastic bag into the river to protest the recent trillions of dollars in government spending.

While tea party protests occurred in groups of thousands all across the country on Wednesday, Millard protested alone.

“I just felt at the time that no one else here would be interested,” Millard said.

2. I'm glad she's okay


I mean, sort of. You know: more or less.

But, really...


...what a stupid way to go that would have been. Maybe she'll think twice before she messes with such nonsense when a socialist liberal Jehovah is watching.

It's a good thing the tax-supported police were near at hand, and that she has Medicare to help with her treatment.

3. Was she rescued by tax-funded emergency workers?
Yes. She was. Do you think she understood the irony of that?

Me, either.

That's really kind of sad.
Probably a lonely old woman who gets most of her companionship from RW hate radio. She probably depends for her survival on that government spending that she so objects to.
