NOTE: For those who don't know, every Monday morning the Pentagon allows only the biggest idiots best and brightest dissenters to post up on the grassy area by the Metro entrance escalators and display their signs.
Protester of the week is back!
As I had said previously, there wouldn’t be any new POTW columns until they brought something new to the table. And today they did. This beautiful spring morning I spied 7 protesters ‘manning the rails’ at the Metro entrance to the Pentagon.
My primary motivation to write this column today was the presence of a new loon guy out there today. He had a pair of binoculars (perhaps he’s an ornithologist) hanging from his neck and a powder blue construction helmet to which he had used his 3rd grade arts and crafts skills to affix the letters: U N. He was in fact bird-like in his manner and he craned forward, squinting his eyes, peering at each PGON passerby. Obviously, he is going to be a real asset to the Monday protesting team! Oh, and he held the sign: “Arms dealers make a killing”
There was also a new sign that contained an excerpt from Dr. King’s Sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on April 30, 1967 (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article16183.htm)
“…It seems that I can hear God say to America, you are too arrogant. If you do not change your ways I will rise up and break the backbone of your power…”
DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
I know I have said this many times before, but I really think these protesters are missing their audience. I make fun of applaud their efforts at the Pentagon each Monday, but that’s just for selfish reasons: I sincerely enjoy my Monday peeks into the realm of the ridiculous/insane. Perhaps a more appropriate audience could be found by taking some of these signs to the White House or Congress…the LTs through CAPTs using the Metro entrance aren’t influencing anyone beyond how much cream or coffee a Flag officer should have in his/her coffee that morning. Truly, I am just trying to help these hippies protesters play to the best audience.
FUUO’s greatest hits:
