You better watch out, but you can shout & cry if you want: Phred’s Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the [Peter Navarro](http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=89481) funeral. ---

Oh, and the [Patriot Guard](http://www.patriotguard.org/) will likely park their bikes between the grievers and the nuts, revving their bikes so as to drown out the nuts. ---

The Patriot Guard was in Topeka on Dec. 2, to park between the mourners and the WBC. All in all, there were 500 estimated counter protestors, and 20-25 of the WBC. I wrote a letter to the editor of our paper about the whole affair, referring to the WBC members as trolls, and it got printed!
