As city leaders and convention organizers gathered in Jamaica Plain's Samuel Adams Brewery -- where, four months from now, members of the Ohio delegation will drink beer amid the giant metal tanks and wooden barrels -- the police union protesters gathered outside to do some noisemaking of their own.

Big time.

Four of my real good friends are B.P.D officers.

They see all the money Mumbles Menino is wasting on RATAPALOOZA ,and he tells them he has no cash.

Never piss off a cop.

This is part of the reason that Kerry is looking to tap the United States cash register for "First Responders."

[Blue Scourge]

Now there is an entertaining thought....

I'm glad I'll be watching it on TV and not be anywhere Boston when this goes down.

I predict that the Republican convention in NY will be class act compared to the RAT convention. (It really won't take much. Think Chicago in 1968)

Break out the Popcorn!!!

I loved this part, too, describing how the different state delegations are to be housed at and bused to "sites far from the hotel circuit...to attend parties partially subsidized by corporate sponsors". (In other words, they don't have enough downtown hotel space.)

The New York delegation will party at South Boston's L Street Bathhouse; the Alabama and South Carolina delegations will be feted in Roxbury at the Museum of the National Center for Afro-American Artists. Virginia and West Virginia delegates will head to Menino's own neighborhood and gather in the Menino Wing of the Hyde Park Library.

New York...Bathhouse?! Alabama & S. Carolina...Afro-American museum?! Is this racial profiling or what?!
