Incognito?

I wrote this yesterday but couldn't post it. Tblog has been slow as shit on responding lately, hasn't it? Sorry, it had to be said.


Here's something really funny I found in a Yahoo story about the Republican Convention:

"As many as 15 protesters disguised as Republicans infiltrated Madison Square Garden to protest administration policy on AIDS and shout down Andrew Card, Bush's chief of staff, as he addressed young party members."

Did you see what I saw? Fifteen people were "disguised as Republicans"??? What, did they have Rick Santorum masks? Did they put on a suit, shave off most of their hair, and stomp around yelling "Go fuck yourself"? What the fuck?

I figure they must have stolen some SUVs and suits, cut their hair short, got a low-carb lunch, and invaded a Christian book store looking for bibles to carry along to the front doors of the convention. Maybe picking up some "Jesus Loves The Little Fetus" bumper stickers along the way. Then they each took turns practicing their lines ("Kerry wants to raise your taxes!" "Saddam Hussein was a bad man!" "America is safer!") and walked right on in.

And in case you haven't noticed, America IS safer. Sure it is. Which is why there's enough military/police presence all around the Convention to be able to take down a dozen Colombian drug lords, smoke half of Afghanistan out of their caves, and oh, I don't know, maybe catch Osama Bin Laden. I guess they must need all that security to keep away the violent protesters. All four of them. Did you see all the lead-up to this shit, all the talk of "violent protests" that was expected? It's all been bullshit. the protests have been pretty tame. And that's too bad. I agree with what Bill Maher said this past weekend on his brilliant HBO show that has quickly become my favorite thing on TV. There SHOULD have been violent protests. There should have been fucking riots. The kind that made whitey move to the suburbs. It's not enough for two lesbians to be carrying a "Lick Bush" sign, we need people throwing trashcans through the window of a Starbucks. Come on people, exercise your freedoms and let the assholes in power know you're watching them. If anything with the name "Trump" on it is still standing in NYC at the end of the week, you "protesters" are a bunch of pussies.
