Apparently in Houston, people are planning on picketing a Margaret Cho act which in no way would draw even more people to see her. Nope. I just love this though:

The Houston club where Margaret is working out material for her new show this weekend (Feb. 6-7) has been asked to fire her or expect pickets to take place outside the club. Here is the letter the club in Houston received:

Hello,

The Young Conservatives of Texas* and the Houston Young Republicans Committee would like you to remove Margaret Cho from this Friday and Saturdays show. We along with many Americans feel she made unnecessary and vulgar comments about the United States and our president during a speech for Moveon.org. We would like you to consider theses wishes. We have 75 people Friday and 93 people Saturday who will be there at the Improv to either enjoy the replacement for Margaret or Picketing her show in front of the Improv. Please contact if you can accommodate our wishes,

Daniel Riley
Young Conservatives of Texas

* We got a letter from a Howard A. Hickman, who says he is an attorney for The Young Conservatives of Texas, stating that Daniel Riley does NOT represent them nor is he a member. He said that Daniel Riley has been sent a cease and desist letter.


Here is the letter Margaret previously received from this same person which is posted along with other racist and homophobic emails here:
