Update 3: Welcome Instapundit readers. Please visit Kat since she turned me on this link.
Update 4: Here's a list of picket locations. Go tell 'em what you think.
Update 5: Someone realized what was happening and took down the comments. I wonder if anyone from the NY Post got wind and printed them out. One can hope.
Update 6: Craig found the comments while diving in a Google cache (See comments below). I hope to post them soon.
