It was a bilingual protest.

I don't know what these things are supposed to be, but they left the costumes sitting on the median afterward.

No getting through until the march is over.

Ghosts...

...and more ghosts.

A Socialist Future? Someone needs to study the past.

More advice from the Socialists.

Some marchers from my alma mater.

Some people favored fighting on to victory, while others didn't seem to know which was was up.

That's not sunburn, it's body paint. Watch out "Red Woman" and "Orange Man," the horses have been here!

Another MPR headline reports: "US hands over control of Anbar to Iraq." Hey, guys. We're winning!

Somalis shouted, "BUSH IS TERRORIST!"

Lots of questionable claims were made.

Mainstream? Have you looked around a little?

Who was that masked man? Is he ashamed to be seen? Maybe he should have stayed home then.

Gotta admit, this was amusing.

"Green" litterbugs.
