These fucking G20 protesters are such pieces of shit–especially the Black Bloc, which are a group of anarchist do-nothing fuckheads who think society owes them something. I’ve decided to start a counter-protest group to go in and kick these protesters’ asses. We’ll infiltrate the crowd and then start beating the shit out of protesters once we’ve gathered up enough of us. We’ll dress in all white so we know who we are. We’ll try to concentrate on the Black Bloc, but if a protester’s head finds itself on the business end of our bats, then so be it. But first I need to make sure my long-term disability insurance covers injuries incurred while trying to beat the shit out of idiot anti-NWO protesters in foreign countries. If it does, I’m in. Who’s with me? ---

You are going to infiltrate them by dressing all in white? This is truly worthy of your genius. ---

No, we’re going to change clothes mid-protest, like the BlackBloc do. Obviously. ---

Anarchists think society owes them something? I thought those were supposed to be socialists, at least according to the talking points. ---

Eh, the name’s sounds funny. “White bloc” sounds like a group of white supremacists or Russian monarchists of which I am neither. ---

Did anyone else read that as sodomy pops? 🙂 Not that I dont also think a good fraction of any protestors consist of dumb asses that either havent given their cause more than a moments thought and/or have nothing better to do. ---

Yes, but do such people deserve to have the shit beat out of them? I must say, you’ve really found the horns of a dilemma here, **Rand**. ---

Neither, but it is one of several really excellent Goose Island brews. They were promoting Goose Island pretty hard a few weeks ago at my favorite local pub, and I’m glad I went to taste them. I’m deeply committed to free trade, but I just don’t wear white. Ever. Sorry. ---
