Absolutely GREATEST protest sign EVER!! Im SERIES!!! |
|
Faithful reader Sean spotted this intrepid protester outside the McPherson Square metro this morning. The lady is quite upset about the administration’s plans to re-hang Saddam “Suddan” Hussein — plans she presumably read about in The Onion. http://wonkette.com/politics/violating-the-natural-peace-order-dept%27/area-protester-fooled-by-satire-292823.phpOnion article: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/u_s_to_re_hang_saddam_hussein

when reality and the most outrageous fiction are so similar that the average American can't distinguish between the two.

5. With all due respect to that poor lady... |

I don't think she's the "average American."

7. I once knew a lady who thought that C-span was spying on her |
|
she watched it 24-7, and actually disconnected her phone because she thought they were listening to her phone calls & the congresspeople/senators were stealing her ideas..
Poor lady..her husband actually had her committed to a hospital for a while..
i wonder if she ever got well.. they moved shortly after..

I pulled over to help this sweet little old grandma-woman whose late-model car had crapped out a good ten miles from town. She was hysterical because a carload of "strange young mean" had passed her on the road and shot her engine with a strange pistol-like device. Her engine, so she said, immediately expired. I explained I would carry her to a phone, or call someone for her if she preferred. (Decades before cell phones.) All she would talk about was the device that croaked her car. I explained I was a mechanic and things didn't work that way. Then she got pissed at me. Eventually, I just left her on the side of the road and reported her to a buddy in the highway patrol.
Strange world.

3. This is obviously mental illness. |

I've seen one lady in DC with a sign claiming the Kurt Cobain was her son's half-brother, and that she needed money to track him to the Bahamas.

6. In one sense, she's speaking the truth. |
|
I'm not referring to the rehanging of the dead man part, just what's underlined in red. Although in a metaphorical sense, one could construe the rehanging of Saddam as the Bush administration's attempts in tying Saddam to 9/11.
Saddam, may have been a evil man, but his trial was a farce. His execution more akin to a lynch mob, I believe in large part motivated by a desire of those in control to silence him quickly before the could spill the beans regarding the people; who aided and abetted him to power. While this lady may have a mental illness, I can relate to a deeper meaning behind her message. I must say, I don't understand the evilness behind the Bush administration either.
