Best Protest...EVER!

Well, as if I needed more proof that the protest has become completely irrelevant as a tool for social or political change, San Francisco does it again. In the city where they'll stop the war in Iraq by blocking rush hour traffic and smashing the windows of the Gap, and have elementary school students stay home from school to protest school closures, a new low was reached yesterday to protest their favorite target, president Bush.
In the most third-grade move I've seen in some time, the geniuses who organized this one got a big screen monitor in Union Square downtown, that broadcast the State of the Union address, but in a big twist...WITHOUT SOUND! And all the protesters made noise and beat drums and talked loud and didn't pay attention to the President during the speech. That's right, the old silent treatment. Holy Cow, I have to guess that the President is really reeling from this one, especially since, he couldn't hear them anyway.
Then to top it off, they toppled a statue of Bush to mock the toppling of the statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq a few years ago. This part wasn't all that bad idea, but as an exclamation mark on the stupidest protest I've ever had my tax dollars for police presence wasted on, it takes it to a sillier level.
Keep it up kids, if this is all you got, the Republican agenda will keep chugging forth, gaining members embarrassed to be associated with you.
