…so i wake up this morning, and the news is interviewing a guy from one of the two or three groups protesting in our lovely hometown, your nation's capitol. this guy is being asked by the newscaster, “so are you going to stay on the sidewalks during your protest today or will you be in the street congesting rush hour traffic?” and this d00d starts going on and on and on about how the US should stop giving military aid to Colombia, how 20 Colombians die every millisecond, etc…

i used to be proudly left of center. i still am, actually. but my first reaction when this wet-behind-the-ears college d00d started spewing his profundities?

“answer the fucking question. are you going to fuck up a.m. rush hour traffic by having a lie-down in the middle of Constitution Ave?”

fuckwits. you aren't going to win any converts to your cause by making john and jane doe 2 hours late for work on a monday morning. with the aggressive drivers here, you are more likely to become road pizza.

how would you people like it if i came to your college campus and laid down in the middle of your street and didn't let you get to your freaking “Pygmy Women of World Civilizations” class?

boo fucking hoo.
