Subversive grannies take knitting to the streets:
Marie Runyon, who turns 93 on Thursday, was one of the arrested and acquitted grannies, and spoke proudly of her two antiwar grandchildren. Carrying two canes and wearing a plastic foldable rain hat, she suggested, loudly and saltily, that the nearby counterprotesters should be quiet.
“Give Iraq our Constitution, we’re not using it,” she said into the microphone.
I hope I’m that feisty.
Les tricoteuses!
