1. I guess that Kerry isn't liberal enough.
Crazy, isn't it?

2. Yeah, I guess...but that wouldn't motivate me to stand in a cage...
...under the Fitzgerald expressway...right about now, I'd be asking directions to the Black Rose Pub (been a while since I've been in that Great City, and I miss it.)

3. Various things. Here is a first hand report from WillPitt yesterday
t r u t h o u t | Democratic Convention Coverage
By William Rivers Pitt

I am standing inside the now-infamous Free Speech Zone outside the convention site. It is every bit as intimidating and confining as the pictures make it out to be.

Any liberal protesters coming in here tomorrow are in for an added surprise. Right now, the protest cage is filled with anti-choice protesters. They are scrawling anti-abortion slogans all over the ground in chalk. If it doesn't rain, all the messages will be here in the morning.

4. The ones shown tonight on the local whore station
were antiabortion crazies, protesting being kept in a pen next to the Fleet Center instead of being able to do their Operation Rescue thing on the sidewalks and in the entrance. Their spokesmale had a southern accent, so no way are they local people.

I think most people to the left of Lamebawl are planning to saive themselves and their protesting for NYC.
