Two important protests took place this weekend: Antiwar protestors spoke out and beat drums for 24 hours outside the White House, and koreans descended on Washington to oppose a proposed US-South Korea "Free" Trade deal.
Back in 1991, protestors banged drums outside the White House for 40 days and 40 nights to protest Guld War 1. Daddy Bush complained to the press that "Those damned drums are keeping me up at night," leading to a vicious police crackdown.
