London Calling

More from OMIL T.S. on the protests:

My wife and I infiltrated the crowd of protesters outside Buckingham Palace. Once we pushed our way through the rows of bobbies, past the rows of media, we reached the inner sanctum of the 200 to 300 drum banging, whistle blowing, earthy, vegans. They appeared to be in the 16 to 28 age range and it did not appear that many were gainfully employed judging by their clothes. Speaking of which, I may be interested in this protesting gig, as there was one lass in a rather small bikini. I'm not sure of the significance of her protest outfit but I could dig that. Beats earth mothers. The only thing rather funny was the clown pretzel posse or something like that. They had giant pretzels encouraging GW to choke on another one - this time with more dire consequences. To our knowledge, GW did not partake. So far it appears to be blown quite out of proportion, although tomorrow, Thursday, is supposed to be the "big" one.
