That could apply to the convention as well. A real SNOOZER!
You know it’s bad when the “radicals” have to go home early to eat some Jello, change their Depends and take a nap. As someone who had to put up with this crap back in the 60s, I’m loving it.
And sometimes embarrassingly bad too. These tired worn out 60's radicals have been trying to 're-create' their *glory days* ever since Dubya won Florida in 2000, and they've failed miserably at it. Today is a different world than 1968, completely different, but these radicals are still stuck in the same old sea of mud as they were at the 'original' Woodstock ...
What a mess .....
These old Marxists are out of shape ‘cause they have no work ethic.Sitting around in coffee shops bitching about what could have been has left them with no staying power.
"Pepsi presents the '68 convention II"
I am torn between competing visions of a dozen or so fanatical die-hard protesters, chanting either The whole world is sleeping! or The whole world is blogging!
Now let's see if they try to slip in pics from a demonstration in some other corner of the world....
I think protest organizers and police planners forgot that Denver is very far away from most of the larger population centers. Not only high gas prices but the duration of the travel would have discouraged protesters to make the trip.
Minnesota is much closer to the East Coast, as is Chicago, which could explain the problems in 1968.
Where did the rioters in 1968 come from? Where did the Seattle protesters come from? Simple demographic work and economic analysis could have saved Denver thousands in police overtime.
It was never billed to be “60s Radicals” per the title. It would been their grandchildren.
Yeah, but wouldn't that, if the drive-by's ever caught wind of it, caused the radicals to start yelling out: PROFILING!?
Good riddance.
Yeah, well, she had a right to get arrested, see? She had a right to be oppressed and the fascist pig police were denying it to her.
You can think like these folks for awhile but pretty soon your brain begins to cramp.
Shoes For Industry!
I still see encounter a few old grey-haired, pony tailed Marxist/hippies here in CT carrying knapsacks (full of maryjane or LSD?), and when approached seem unable to respond intelligently or rationally. I surmize they will all be in Dante’s ninth circle of hell before long.
Wait until the 105th Anniversary party for the Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee.
If they have Elton John as the headlining musical entertainment, as they did five years ago at the 100th year anniversary bash, you may see some REAL headbanging!
You said it! Good night! It was boring. Every time I turned on the convention, the only tingle that went down my leg was the urge to change the channel.
