It's not everyday that I show up for work and find protesters in front of the building, but that's what happened today. There were only two of them, but they had very colorful signs. A girl in a Ron Paul t-shirt was holding up a sign that read, "3rd World Nations Are Not a Threat to the USA." Her male friend held one that urged passers-by to "Stop the Neocon Madmen."
Intrigued, two of my colleagues and I went downstairs to learn more about these neocon madmen and why they must be stopped. We offered the protesters National Review t-shirts and copies of the latest issue.
After exchanging greetings and literature, I stuck around to talk to the protesters. I have to admit, it was something of a letdown to learn that T.C. Bell and Ellie Roos, students from Colorado, did not come all the way to New York City just to picket NR. Our little magazine was but one stop on a tour that included Commentary magazine, the Wall Street Journal and FOX News (for more on this last, see Hot Air's video).
In addition to protesting neocon madness, Bell and Roos said they are in town for the anniversary of 9/11. More specifically, they are here to raise questions about the "official conspiracy theory," which holds that 19 terrorists affliated with Al Qaeda hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Bell and Roos believe that "criminal elements within the U.S. government" orchestrated the attacks to provide a pretense for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. "The order to strike Afghanistan was on President Bush's desk on September 10th," Bell asserts.
I asked Bell and Roos, who do not work for Ron Paul's campaign, if they think Paul agrees with that view. They said that, although Paul has said he does not, he has also said that "he never trusts the government's official story when it investigates itself," and that Paul might be open to launching a new investigation into what happened.
Bell stressed that he's no fan of the Democrats and never has been. He says, "If we," meaning Republicans, "nominate anyone other than Ron Paul, we will get trounced in the next election."
How about this: “No, that’s okay. I’ll walk to the curb from here.”
Love that film.
I have a current copy in the throne room.

No, seriously. I heard Commentary and Dissent merged and they decided to call it Dysentery.
**rimshot**
Paulsen has more credibility and got more votes. ;)
Figured there was a joke in there somewhere.....
ha!
Darn it I was going to say that too..
Paul and his followers are nuckin’ futs.
Considering that the Al Qaeda organization was hatched in Afghanistan and Sudan, and that all of the 9/11 terrorists came from “3rd World nations” that sign is one of the most imbecilic ever held by any protester, anywhere, ever.
I was 16 at the time of Annie Hall, and thoroughly into girls, not movies. I was 18 when I found Uncle Miltie at CMC in “Free To Choose.”
Failure to grasp the joke probably displays lack of character and bad upbringing. ;-(
I think he looks like Pat Paulsen.
Paulson was atually trying to be funny because it was his act.
Paul is funny, but he is not acting...

Ron Paul....
Damn, just damn...
I scarce can contain my laughter....
Save but for not wanting to wake my wife, I would let it rip...
Paulettes, this one goes out to you, with loving concern...
Pink Floyd - Brain Damage Lyrics
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ‘till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
Same bravo sierra; different accent. ;)
