"Protesting the International Monetary Fund by smashing up and spray-painting a PNC bank and Wachovia branch in Logan Circle a mile and a half away is roughly akin to registering your dissatifaction with a New York Stock Exchange meeting on Wall Street by urinating on some Greenwich Village ATMs."

I wonder if they grabbed a bite at the Whole Foods across the street before sticking it to The Man.

They could try the new soba noodle sushi rolls.

Look at me! I'm a protestor!

I support the endangered sea turtle, recycling, banning land mines, and gay rights! I am against corporations, globalization, all Republicans, and pollution! I'm wearing Nike™ shoes, carrying a JanSport™ backpack, and drinking a Mountain Dew™! I didn't vote in the last election, and I won't vote in the next! I'm carrying a sign I made myself from non-recycled paper and a Magic Marker™! Look at me! The people in Congress I aim to influence are out of session! I'm not changing any minds, because people think I am a trust fund baby with nothing better to do, and I'm pissing off half the city because I'm blocking traffic!
