Her cursing and gesturing were humorous enough, but when she nearly fell into the main road that separated us I nearly lost it. The fella with the megaphone began to address her concerns in better language than she was using.
As the day wore on I got warmer and warmer. One of the organizers had brought some water, bottled of course, and when we emptied a half dozen or so we sent the empties to the greenies standing on the opposite corner while we shouted "Increase Your Footprint.!"
Media from Lansing, Detroit, Flint and Japan was roving around and I made sure to stick my face in their cameras. The Detroit stations edited me out, probably because on two different occasions I actually spelled out "T-Y-R-A-N-T" very loudly into the camera while leering evilly. I was a little more tame on the Flint and Lansing stations and they broadcast some of what I said. I don't understand why Fox 2 Detroit didn't publish my following rant:
"John Dingell II or the III or whatever is my congressman and," looking directly into the camera, "we're coming after you, you tax hiking, spending, worthless Marxist. The second amendment was designed for tyrants like you and I think we're getting close to fulfilling our duty as citizens and exercising that particular right."
Well, the Fox 2 reporter stepped back a half step and then moved the mic back under my mouth. I called him later that evening and asked him why he didn't have the courage to broadcast my remarks, but he said, "No comment."
More to come tomorrow.
