My neighborhood sold its soul to the devil

September 3, 2008 - Wednesday

Last night I went outside and all I could hear was helicopters and low-flying planes. The sirens kept me up; I had to shut my windows on a lovely summer/fall evening. This morning I had to switch sidewalks three times to avoid road blocks, and I counted 19 cop cars, vans and swat vehicles in a three block radius.

A round of applause for the RNC--they sure know how to turn every place they invade into a war zone in a matter of days, if not hours.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side

Without getting too into politics (is it even possible these days?) I want to offer my top three things I love/hate about the RNC in St. Paul this year.

I hate:
--that the normally chill people at my job are freaking out like it's the second coming and that the normally insane people are say "Republican National...wha? Oh that's nice." like they're talking about a new Arby's sandwich or something
.--Fat Cats. And I'm not talking about Claude either.
--That I have to work harder to ensure that my deliveries don't destroy the delicate balance that Homeland Security has created around St. Paul.

I love:
--that the bars are open until 4 a.m. (Not that I'm into that sort of thing!)
--that The Daily Show is coming! Check out this billboard they have up outside of the airport:























--that after it's all over maybe people in Minnesota will be so turned off by Republicans they'll have the good sense to vote Democrat!
