The Nuns on the Bus

...go shh, shh, shh...er, I digress.  In between my time at the Supreme Court, and dining at We, the Pizza today, I stopped by at what seemed like an impromptu press conference.  I stuck around to figure out what was happening exactly, began reading the signs people were holding, and listening to what was being discussed.  It was an odd consortium of Evangelicals, Democrats, labor movement supporters, and feminists all there to support a bus tour of Nuns that were about to come to speak in support of universal healthcare coverage.  Before the Nuns arrived there were a series of old labor movement songs that the crowd sang, and an introductory speech by a Muslim individual that tied in verses from the Quran that suggested agreement with the tenets of the present group.  Talk about a dynamic group of people.  The nuns came off the bus dressed in normal attire, I was expecting the fully covered habit outfits that are associated with their titles.  The crowd of maybe a couple hundred erupted as though they were rockstars upon their arrival.  I listened in for a little while longer, as the nuns suggested the Paul Ryan budget plan is immoral, and moved on to get out of the sun and fill my growling stomach.  There is always something going on around the Capitol during the weekdays.
