I always say that having known them intimately, I came to loathe them completely. They will abandon this tack the moment anything else even slightly less lame presents itself.
So, uh, are you suggesting that despite how well planned, well financed they are -- they were still caught running on the short-side?
Hey! I remember when Harvey Milk and Mayor Mascone were shot in SF. The leftist brigades were out in the streets of the Financial district nearly immediately with silk screened" arm bands in black.
I always wondered -- how they knew. In advance. Or are they really just that "gifted" in mass production means on the fly. For "oppressed people" who assert to be anti-capitalist, anti-corporation -- I always remember how quick the left had their armbands out on the streets so quickly. My, my.
Maybe they had "iron-on" templates (long before it was available by and for mass means). That's it! From Women with Clothes Lines, they had Women With Irons! Must be it, no?
Note of interest: Those armbands were BEFORE the days of the colored ribbons (pink, aids, etc.)
