The Savage Republican

The LLOLLL (languishing lack of logic loony left), after dutifully blocking traffic for a few blocks, disappeared into Calhoun Square, near Figlio's, which caused us to wonder if the patrons would be losing their lunch. Mitch and James disappeared into the building. I was with my four remaining patriots when I heard a brusque "EXCUSE ME!!!" and turned to promptly be shouldered by this oxygen wasting biped(with the red backpack:

I immediately addressed Bosco the Bloviating Biped, to which his rapid retort was "You didn't clear the ramp!" I was standing near the curb cut-out used by bicyclists, wheelchairs and the like. He continued to scream "YOU DIDN'T CLEAR THE RAMP!" My reply was "You assaulted me." His reply "I SAID EXCUSE ME! I HAD BRAIN SURGERY TWO WEEKS AGO!" My thoughts immediately were that "Lands! As there are no scars, sutures present and he has a full head of hair...WOW, arthroscopic brain surgery!" My reply "Brain surgery! So, they GAVE you a brain? Any good reason you're not using it?" His reply "I SAID EXCUSE ME! I RECORDED IT! IT'S RIGHT HERE!"(brandishing his cell phone. Well, one cell phone digital record is certainly worth another). While taking out my evidence recording device, he screamed again "I SAID EXCUSE ME! I RECORDED IT! YOU MOTHERF****R". My reply "Sooooo, you think you can get your money back on that surgery?" Well, I hope he gets that refund as his only comeback at that point was a stream of obscenity, at which point Mitch spoke up "Hey man, there are children here!" More obscenities from Bosco the Bloviating Biped, who later became known as "Brain Boy".
Alas, my cheap entertainment for the day walked away just as I was finding the range to bring up the heavy artillery.
Next: I futilely attempt a debate with a LLOLLL charter member.

I read Mitch Berg's Shot in the Dark blog and saw that he was inviting people to join him in protesting the protesters. I wrote a few comments and off I went. Little did I know that was a major protest, not just a small protest in front of the recruiting office on Lake and Lyndale. In for a penny in for a dollar.
Here's the starter protest:

Notice the woman with the apron. She was trying to sell Mitch a Che Guevara button. For only a buck. Leave it to the lefties to take a murderer and a thug as their hero. When Mitch, after ooing and ahhing over the button, asked if the vendor knew that Che murdered children with abandon, she looked puzzled and walked away. This little incident prompted me to repeat a quote I'd once heard-"socialism always needs capitalism to pay the bills."
We moved our group across the street to separate ourselves from the lack of logic loony left rabble. We were joined by Diamond Dog (who wrote a very readable entry)and Doug Dagget with some first class signage (the best being JFK's quote "We will bear any burden, we will pay any price"(the full quote Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty). Stalwart men, Diamond Dog and Doug. And as I looked at this gaggle on no logic, no reason I commented "this is evidence of America's greatness."
A KSTP reporter showed up. There was a report on their website.
This mass of, well, mass could not be contained and off they went to congeal with their fellow amorphous masses. James Lileks joined us and became our roving videographer.

James and the rest of us are following the protesters as they show little concern for others having moved directly into the street blocking traffic:

The "Brain Boy" Incident

Visiting in the land of intellectual and reasoning vacuity
