about 100 demonstrators gathered at a workshop near downtown Miami, working on puppets, art

...such as finger painting and basket weaving. Madina will also be there to entertain the 100, reading from her newly released book.
Snacks will be handed out right before nap time schedualed for 1:00 pm. Peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches will be served.

Quick! Any ontripinurial capitalists in Miami?
Roll up some tin foils, shiny side out.
Offer them to the 100 for $1.00 each. Liberals can't resist something shiny. It keeps them busy for weeks trying to figure out what it is.
Then, take the proceeds for the re-elect Bush campain. Ching ching!

"Anti-globalization activists from around the globe converged on the city of _______ today..."

Should be a lot of FReepers out there supporting these freaks in their anti-WTO, anti-capitalist protests.
