A brief note about the convention

Verbal Jazz went out looking for some exciting convention protest action today, but found nary a whiff of poor personal hygiene. There were pockets of protest and certainly lots of cops (who almost were part of the protest crowd). In fact it was like living in a police state with military and armed guards at almost every corner.

Maybe the protests would have been better attented with a better marketing plan:

• First 100 marching for the freedom of Chechen rebels get a bar of soap!
• Free Mumia and Free checking all in one!
• Kids eat for free!
• Enter to have Dennis Kucinich crash on your floor!

Or something like that. Hell, there's always tomorrow.
