Yesterday supporters of Kathleen Kane held a rally in Harrisburg to support Ms. Kane, whose name is usually preceded by the word “embattled” or “beleaguered.” The organizer of the rally forgot the first rule of rallies: Don’t hold a rally unless you know people will show up.
She invited 1000 people to the rally via Facebook. 20 people came.
I probably shouldn’t comment on Facebook, since I never signed up and regard the whole thing a colossal time suck, but I will anyway. (You knew I would.)
Your friends on Facebook are not really your friends. You can’t borrow a cup of sugar from them. They won’t come to your funeral. They are passive and inert. If you want them to come to a rally you must call them, cajole them, provide rides for them, buy them lunch.
I too think Kathleen Kane is being treated unfairly, but a rally with 20 supporters is worse than no rally at all.
On another note: I’m sorry Rick Perry dropped out of the Republican Presidential race. I thought the glasses were working. He did look smarter, didn’t he?
