Obama Mob

There are a couple of desperate housewives standing outside the Redmond Post Office holding poster-boards of Obama with a Charlie Chaplain mustache ... or is that supposed to be Hitler? One might be funny and one of them was laughing about some story, but the other and most likely scenario is just sad and stupid. Here let me think, what's the point of any sharply slanted demonstration? You're either going to incite a riotous rabble bent on revolution or piss people off. Granted these are extreme ends of the spectrum, but this is reaction to hateful extremists; doubtless most people (myself included) avoid eye contact, mumble something incoherent, and shamble past. Maybe, maybe one in a thousand people on the proverbial fence fall on your side, but how many apples end up over the fence after you've crashed into the fruit tree?
