Protesting the scumbag war-chimp in Napa Valley yesterday (pics)
Couldn't get too close to the chimp..

We went to the Frank Family Vineyards, where we thought he would be going, but nobody was there at all. No sign of any activity.

We drove down the Silverado Trail and about ten miles down the road, there were CHP everywhere. We probably saw about 30 CHP cars and SUVs. We figured the chimp would be in this area since there were so many cops. We thought he would be coming up the Silverado Trail, so we parked on a turnout and got out with our one protest sign, and a drum. After about ten minutes we noticed the CHP had stopped traffic. The blockade was not too far back up the road in the direction we had come from.

We walked up to the CHP blockade and demanded that they let us pass so that the war criminals could see my protest sign. The CHP officer wasn't real keen on the idea, and blocked my way. We walked down the line of stopped cars with the sign, and talked it up with the stopped drivers about how they were sitting in stopped traffic because some local fat cats had invited a bunch of war criminals to dinner.

Then we went back to the blockade to fuck with the CHP some more. Got a few shots of the chimp's motorcade when it finally showed up. I yelled my welcome and I flipped him the bird from some distance, and wondered if he saw my sign. After about another 10 minutes, they opened the road again, and we headed into Calistoga to eat Mexican food and soak in a hot tub.

Yours truly

2. Thank you for doing this.
Our Democratic club was not able to find out where he was going to be in time to organize. We had assumed he would be somewhere in our area - Placer or Butte Counties, viewing the fires which ARE STILL BURNING!!! Scumbag.:mad:

4. Kudos!
They work very hard to make sure you can't close to the fucktard. I got to flip him off a few years ago down in Burlingame -- gosh it felt good. :D

5. Ch 7 reported but 11 said you weren't there. That was strange.
Great job!

7. Thanks!
I didn't see any other protesters anywhere in the area, which I though was odd. :shrug:
