From the Rally Notebook: Demonstrators' Messages article:

Anne Hladtk, the wife of an 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper, held up a sign featuring the red, white and blue 82nd patch. The sign read: ‘‘Protecting your cowardly butts since 1917.” Another counterdemonstrator went with a rhyme: ‘‘Osama is Yo Mama.’’

Chapel Hill’s Paper Hand Puppet Intervention put on a short show before the protest march. Using large puppets on stilts, the performers depicted two tyrants oppressing several people. The puppets, some as tall as 10 feet, were grotesque caricatures of humans. There was no dialogue and the action was punctuated by a single drum. In the end, the people rose up against the tyrants.

The quoted great signs from both of you could easily kick the tails of those puppets in any PR contest!

Shoot ... I spit coffee on the keyboard. There should have been a "We're not making this up!" tag :-).

Awesome report, Bill!

Actually, the ones holding the puppets were the bigger puppets.

That big white one looked like a big, skinny chicken.
