Ambling against the anti-RNC
Posted on September 2nd, 2008 by kaveman
Hannah and I rode our bikes to St. Paul yesterday to have a good time watching the anarchists unite. Got bored with it eventually as they mostly had the same kind of chants that have been around for forty years. The first group that came through (the warm-up act?) at least got into some dancing. The larger group that arrived later was pretty much same-o, same-o (or is that same-zero, same-zero?). Here is a short clip of the warm-up group heading back from whence they came as they kind of hit a dead end where we were. The police later let the larger group go through and around our little island of sanity.

So what with Hannah traipsing off to Egypt and Israel for a few weeks I got sidetracked on posting. Been busy with myriads of stuff. Trying to get the back yard fence thing finished. Put in a new gate on the north side of the fence. Looks intimidating from the outside. Cool. Should go along with the new moat planned for later. Just kidding. I’m not putting in a moat - the razor wire would get all rusty. Other distractions: a blooming crappy cold turned bronchitis for a while, a tramp cat that decided to make our home hers. Can’t understand why. I’d put food out in the back yard in a dish and she would eat it all and then not leave! Ungrateful. See her and her new kitties at Hannah’s blog. I’ll have to become a kitten hawk like the guys at the ball game. “Get your free kittens here!” “Hey cats!” “Ice Cold!” Or maybe sell them at the State Fair! “Come and get ‘em! Kittens on a Stick!” Ew.

Actual conversation:
K: So why are we celebrating Cinco de Mayo?
H: Because we have a lot of Mexicans here.
K: But, why are WE celebrating Cinco de Mayo?
H: Because we have a lot of Mexicans here.
K: So why are we celebrating the Mexicans defeat of France in 1862?
H: Because we have a lot of Mexicans here.
K: Why don’t we celebrate the Swedish defeat of France in 1813?
H: If we celebrated every defeat of France, we’d celebrate every day.
And then later:
K: It’s sad. All of these people coming to watch a parade that celebrates the Mexican defeat of the French in 1862. I’ll bet they don’t even know what the celebrating is all about. But don’t celebrate VE day (which is May 7/8, by the way).
J: Maybe they celebrate VE day in Mexico?
K: Oh. It all makes sense now.
