And the musicians today who don't do drugs and, in fact, speak out against drugs? Boy do they suck! Ball-less, soulless, spiritless, corporate little bitches...
I hate comedians that are like, "Fucking strap in, motherfuckers, cause I'm about to get really dangerous!" and then the next thing they always say is, "The fucking food on airplanes is bullshit!" There is nothing safer than a comedian who tells you he's dangerous.
I'll get this one, put it on my card
I get frequent flyer mileage
And a booklet of upgrades
So next time I visit the third world
I won't have to fly second class
The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast
We took the bus to the anarchist book fair
I left the hybrid at home
I scored an extremely rare signed copy of the communist manifesto
We protested the G8, got maced by female police
In hot black uniforms and boots
I got one's e-mail address
Oooh, this looks like a scary important standoff!
Nah. It was nothing. Repeatedly throughout the day the cops would intentionally choose some random spot in the road and line up — even though there was nothing behind them to defend — and the protesters would dutifully start lining up in front of them, resulting in an artificially constructed and completely purposeless "confrontation."
Sometimes the reverse would happen: The protesters would line up to "make a stand" in the middle of nowhere...
...and then the cops would wearily put on their riot gear and dutifully troop out to stand in front of the protesters.
This completely absurd kabuki kept happening over and over because it served a useful purpose for each side: The cops wanted to lure the protesters away from the hotel (and did so successfully most of the time) by establishing scrimmage lines in the boondocks, while the protesters wanted to be perceived as brave revolutionaries "confronting the power structure." So each side got exactly what it wanted out of these almost comical pseudo-battles.
