  1. I wish I had had my camera.
    A guy came in yesterday, wearing, no shit, an ACORN shirt and a HELMET.
    I thought it rather apropos.

  2. I think there was a similar high/low IQ ratio on display at a California protest over “health” care.

  3. I was there … and it was a sight to behold. I’m sure that the MoveOn/Acorn bunch felt a little uncomfortable in the face of a large group that was not going to let them get by with just spouting off their talking points without challenge.

    And challenge was the order of the day.

    Of course, when I told them that they were hypocrites for decrying the PATRIOT Act while being more than willing to sign up for a program that would be far, far more invasive to their privacy and threatening to their civil liberties than W’s handiwork … it went right over their heads.

    But they definitely felt the heat, and MovedOn out of there around 12:30. We stayed until about 1:00.

    I also was able to break out my guitar and lay down a little background music that the patriots, at least, appreciated … and hopefully, will get the opposition thinking, if they paid attention.

    Here’s the lyrics I used … it’ called TO GET AHEAD:

    I once listened to experts who said to me
    that livin’ large would be so easy
    Go buy that McMansion with zero down
    Grab this credit card and burn up the town
    But when bills came due, and ’twas time to sell
    Those bums had led me to financial Hell
    They get bailouts, I’m left in the red
    Misleading me about my ri–ii–ight
    To get ahead.

    Now we’re led by experts who’d “guarantee”
    My “right” to get by irresponsibly
    Get drunk get stoned get high on crack
    And jump with anyone into the sack
    And then go see the doc for “free”
    To cure that hangover and STD
    Pick up a check and go back to bed
    All they ask is my ri–ii–ight
    To get ahead

    But history’s led me to a better view
    Responsibility starts with me and you
    No one but you can take your place
    in solving most of the problems that you will face
    And if we need to, we can help each other
    Without the gov. acting like our mother
    Everything is better, the truth be said
    When we protect our ri–ii–ight
    To get ahead.

    This is why I’m here, you see
    It’s about a lot more than dumpin’ tea
    It’s about the lie that’s led to hurt
    That life should be left to only trained experts
    Instead of pourin’ money down’ their ratholes
    The ordinary people now will take control
    Government is best when it’s limited
    so it simply protects our ri–ii–ight
    To get ahead.
