Pie Throwing


Bernadette Malone: NYC errs in playing nice with protesters

NEXT WEEK, people who hate Republicans plan to release swarms of mice in New York City to terrorize delegates to the National Republican Convention.

Republican-haters plan on dressing up as RNC volunteers, and giving false directions to little blue hair ladies from Kansas, sending them into the sectors of New York City that are unfit for human habitation.

They plan on throwing pies and Lord knows what else at Republican visitors to the city. Prostitutes with AIDS plan to seduce Republican visitors, and discourage the use of condoms, according to liberal journalist Ted Rall....

The one correct item in the entire article (and I do recommend reading it completely - it's hilarious) is that Ted Rall is a liberal journalist. If that wasn't enough to spur your interest, here's the next section:

New York City is a place renowned for coddling no one — tourists, babies, old people. And yet, its new mayor, a Boston transplant, plans to coddle these junior terrorists.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be issuing buttons that read “Peaceful Political Activist,” which will entitle the bearer to discounts at The Bronx Zoo, the Museum of Sex, Applebee’s, plays such as “Mamma Mia” and “Naked Boys Singing,” and other random entertainment venues.

By wearing these buttons, and obtaining these nifty little discounts, the mice-releasers, pie-throwers and AIDS-spreaders are entering into an implicit agreement and the rest of society: “Give me $5 off a chicken entree at Applebee’s, and I promise not to terrorize you.” That oughtta work. Not. ...

I guess the Republicans can only hope that the "AIDS-spreading" hookers will infect the mice-releasing/pie-throwing terrorists.
