What's a Hungry Anti-Globalization Protestor to Do?
(By Ray D.)
"Dude...down with corporate power...could I get some more fries with that?"
Perhaps the most surprising (and funny) part of my day in NY was seeing a McDonalds not far from the march route packed full of demonstrators, including many sporting anti-corporate, anti-globalization signs and slogans. Note the anarchist type with scarf heading into the front door with his girlfriend.
What better way to fight globalization...pass me that Big Mac!

That doesn't look like a headscarf to me; it looks like it has a bill on it.

Two all-BEEF patties (animal murderers!)
special sauce (but we're all EQUAL!)
lettuce (picked by exploited migrants!)
cheese (I'm lactose intolllllllerant!)
pickles (it's REALLY unfair, that "once a pickle, never a cucumber" is the way things are! I mean people should have choices! What if I WAS a pickle, and I WANTED to be a cucumber again, I would need the PUBLIC to pay for the cucumber change operation!)
onions (sexist!)
on a sesame seed bun (sesame!?! is that some kind of secret code? are you slandering seeds of middle-eastern persuasion?!?)

Hank:
What that is, is an oversized bandana that these kids wear as their Anarchist signature thing, just like any other gang. They have this thing about anonymity, so they cover their faces from the nose downward with these things.
What I wonder is, how do the anarchists run their meetings? Do they vote?

I joined Protest Warrior and Communist for Kerry in protesting the anti-liberation march for genocidal peace and justice for dictator's aka United for Peace and Justice held Sunday.
We were completely over their heads and when some of them managed to get our message they looked as if their heads were going to explode.
It was too funny.
One funny story, out of thousands, was seeing a group of ridiculously sparkling red-white & blue costumed anti-capitalist Bush-haters wearing paper-machete red painted cock missiles taking a lunch break at KFC.
Sunday's march in NYC was's a protest, it was Holloween in August.
For the record, professional anarchists attacked some of our PW and CforK members because they were expressing THEIR civil right to freedom of speech. The anarchists were arrested, and it's all on digital.

Sorry, I was to busy holding a sign to take pictures.:(
But, Yahoo has some great shots of the typical pageantry.
