Shouldn't the anti-GOP protesters in New York City wait until the convention has actually started? I mean, 4 days is a long time to spend all day partying protesting, and you'll be exhausted by the end if you don't pace yourself a bit. And now, the sarcastic potshots:

Tens of thousands of demonstrators carrying signs and chanting "No More Bush" marched Sunday past Madison Square Garden, the site of this week's Republican National Convention.

The march was sponsored by United for Peace and Justice, a group opposed to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Organizers had predicted as many as 250,000 demonstrators would take part.

I swear, protest/march leaders must have a special school they go to where they learn how to predict event turnout using some sort of... what's the word? Fantasy. That's it.

Many participants said they hoped a large crowd at Sunday's protest would send a message to the rest of the country.

Yes, that message being two-fold. 1) Stay the hell out of NYC for the next week, and 2) opposing Bush involves moonbats.

New York police have made "about 50" arrests, according to a law enforcement source.

Why do I get the feeling that number's going to go up in the next few days?

"We are the majority," filmmaker Michael Moore told the crowd.

Actually, Michael, you're large (and rich) enough to constitute a majority of one all on your own.

Leslie Cagan, national coordinator for United for Peace and Justice, said the message revolves around the word no.

"We are saying 'no' to the Bush agenda, 'no' to the war in Iraq, 'no' to the regime change by our government, 'no' to preemptive war, 'no' to the economic policies," Cagan said.

This should ring a bell for any & all parents out there. If there's one thing infants (and the infantile) master early on, it's angrily shouting, "No!" until they get their way.

One final question: why is it that there's never an anti-war protest where there isn't some no-tallent clownass playing bongos?
