You guys are obsessed with this shit, how many of you ACTUALLY vote?
We're rained upon here in Australiasia with your politcal garb, nonsense and anti George Bush T shirts, and I, for one, am fucking sick of it.

This if from a couple hours ago:
Brandon Thorson didn't find much to joke about. The 23-year-old factory worker from Minneapolis said he just wanted to go home -- but he tried to do it through police lines.
"One officer used his club to push me away and another officer hit me in the back with his club," Thorson said. "A third officer came in and sprayed me right in the face."
Minutes after the skirmish, Thorson's right eye was nearly swollen shut from the pepper spray. He was not arrested.
Nice.

- As I mentioned to ukit last week: the police will be held accountable if there's any wrongdoing...dog_opus

- well, today they arrested someone on the capitol lawn under suspicion of breaking windowsflashbender
- ...like the army were held accountable at Kent State?MrOneHundred
- so your "protesters go free" theory is a bit flawed.flashbender
- they arrest people en mass for the same reason with no reason...everyone is a riot starting terroristKwesiJ
- Well, I imagine it must be part of the Kent State military Halliburton Chimpdubya complex then.dog_opus

Hey, the mother of John McCain, who I'm pretty sure is "really old" and, like, "a heartbeat" away from death or something, is pretty hale and lucid, huh?
- hahaha. Seriously, she looks greatflashbender
- I know!dog_opus
- I'm pretty sure McCain is only two years older than Reagan was when he first took office.dog_opus
- yes, he was 70flashbender

Damn, his mom looks great for 96.

Pretty awesome that you can still be arrested for unlawful assembly in America.

ĂŽBuster: One of Bush's speechwriters, Matthew Scully, is one of my heroes for his stand on addressing cruelty toward animals. Good guy (as well as a great speechwriter).
