2. Couldn't you have picked another "band aid" pic for your signature?
Everytime I see that pic, I want to go brush my teeth!

21. I don't think they're real . . .
. . . I think they're just REALLY YELLOW DENTURES that are loose. *ack* She needs to take those out and soak them for a couple of days in hydrocloric acid. :P Or get out some white shoe polish and work them over. She should've put the bandaid on her mouth.

9. I fear that there will be a lot of violence if they don't hurry
up and get out of there. The whole vibe of that convention is creepy.
the band-aid thing is just a small example of it.

That woman has some ugly assed false teeth huh?

11. Large Police Contingent Surrounding Fox News !!!
20 - 40 vans, looks like they are going to arrest all of the protesters.

BTW - The Fox 'Shut-Up-A-Thon' is in response to Bill O'Reilly's always telling his guests to 'Shut Up"!!!

28. That's what happens without universal health care. A little preventative
dentistry and she probably could have saved her natural teeth . . . but NO, she had to vote Republican.

Dumb ass . . .

12. Looks Like The Tactic Is To Use The Orange Netting To Pen In Protesters...
and then arrest all those inside the pen. Trouble is, they have a couple hundred in the pen, and a couple of hundred more on the other side of the street, unpenned.

:shrug:

Arresting elderly people. Oh joy...

14. So Far Its Just Audio From A-Noise From IndyMedia !!!
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 03:44 PM by WillyT
Just lost my stream through Windows MediaPlayer, picked it back up by using WinAmp. There are two IM radio groups broadcasting their reports. One is A-Noise that I linked above, the other is from The Portland IM site, requires WinAmp.

Onedit: Portland Stream here: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/static/pdxradio.shtml

It usually takes time for them to post the videos, and I'm not aware of any live video feeds from the protests. But if anybody has one, I'd love to know about it!

:shrug:

15. Medea Benjamin Arrested Outside Fox News Protest !!!
More people are flocking to the demonstration. Supposedly there was an agreed upon protest with the cops, but it either fell apart, or isn't being honored anymore. Fox News employees are outside of the building, behind the barricades, and apparently taunting the protesters.

Caller says the smugness of the Faux employees is galling. Faux reporters are out now interviewing protesters, et. al.

23. Reminds me of Florida
Hope they're safe. Sounds like it may get rough. Easy folks. Watch for the corral and ambush. Watch for the jump-out goons. Rubber bullets are no joke.

29. Damn, listening to this makes me wish I were there. If I could have
