It’s come to this (Updated)

Last April 15th, at the first Ron Paul rally, Hooper (from Age of Hooper(The)) and I comisserated about how lame protests have become this year and how terrible it has been for guys like us who depend on protests. Little did we know it was about to get worse.

I came across this protest for Food Not Bombs back in May which was scheduled for June 28th. When I went, they weren’t there, but luckily, the protest against Guantanamo was going on instead so I cut my loses and it turned out pretty good, blogwise, not protest-wise. So I got back home and checked the website again – they’d changed the date.

We are very sorry about the change in date. Problems with the food and logistics. If Bush starts bombing Iran before August 6th we plan to start the Tent City two days later.

So, I patiently waited until today. Since TSO works near Lafayette Park, he graciously agreed to do a good infantry recon before I committed logistics and communications to the mission at hand. Well, he called me several minutes ago and reported no hippiesque activity not discernable from normal tourist operations. I called the phone number on the website and the mailbox is full.

So the only picture I have of this protest is this one;

Well, no one ever said hippies were dependable, did they? But, it’s like TSO said when he called; it’s getting so you can’t believe anything you read on the internet anymore.

TSO sends this picture of himself looking for the hippies in Lafayette Park;
