If anyone intended the poignancy of demonstrating in the shadow of National Defense HQ, it didn't seem to be acknowledged. Also, pink-haired women frighten me.
Someone had brought a box of pristine KE04 signs - from Pennsylvania, by the particular URL on them. That's just about the saddest thing ever.
I think someone misunderstands the entire theological underpinnings of Jesus.
Ottawa Communists? I hate these guys.
Ditto the loudly-squawking representatives of the National Socialists, who have failed to learn why that's historically a really bad name for a political party.
I wish I had the magical power to foul entire nations with the stench of blood and oil. It'd be a neat party trick.
Shhh...don't tell him about Alberta.
See, this is why I distrust unions in general.
I have a feeling she's never read a single other thing written by Theodore Roosevelt.
Ditto Erasmus. Here's what he had to say on selective quoters:
For at this point too I think I should copy the rhetoricians of today who fancy themselves practically gods on earth if they can show themselves twin-tongued, like horse leeches, and think it a splendid feat if they can work a few silly little Greek words, like pieces of mosaic, into their Latin speeches, however out of place these are. Then, if they still need something out of the ordinary, they dig four or five obsolete words out of mouldy manuscripts with which to cloud the meaning for the reader. The idea is, I suppose, that those who can understand are better pleased with themselves, and those who can't are all the more lost in admiration the less they understand. Indeed there's a special sort of refined pleasure which all my followers take in paying their highest regard to any particularly exotic import from foreign parts, and the more pretentious among them have to laugh and clap their hands and 'twitch their ears' like a donkey does to show the others how well they can understand. 'So much for that'; now I return to my subject.
There were none of the feared giant puppets in attendance, but one lonely sculpture was erected.
Tsk tsk. No imagination, these people.
Okay, we get it; you think there's no such thing as terrorism, Americans had it coming, blah blah blah. FOAD already.
Hey, Michael Moore! We finally found those guys who you figured were going to win the election for Kerry...
The only non-hateful protesters I saw were these ones waving dove signs. I'll give them credit for that, at least.
A few lonely counter-protesters. We had a momentary chat about the general fecklessness of the FreeDominion and Protest Warrior organizers.
Yes, please. I wonder what the mended section used to say?
What a waste of a good umbrella.
It's just not a real party until you demonize Israel, eh, guys?
