Nostalgic tears are falling on my keyboard at the sight of the glorious hammer-and-sickle CCCP flag hovering over what can easily be the best revolutionary battle scene of the last few decades.
BOGOTA, Colombia — About 150 protesters attacked riot police with rocks and metal barriers and ripped down lampposts in Colombia's capital on Sunday, just moments after President Bush landed for a six-hour visit.
Some 200 helmeted police in full body armor responded with water cannon and tear gas and reclaimed the street, about a mile from the presidential palace, banging their batons against riot shields as they marched forward.
Some of the rioters rampaged on Bogota's main avenue, breaking shop windows and ripping computers from bank offices. The rioters had broken away from a larger group of 2,000 protesters.
Four police officers were injured and 100 people were arrested, said Bogota police chief Gen. Daniel Castiblanco.
The country was otherwise unusually peaceful.
A small bomb exploded Sunday morning in the lawless Pacific port of Buenaventura, injuring two civilians.
(there's more where it came from....)

Ah yes, the Glorious Red Banner of the Revolution still flies! Why must the police always start these violent protests? Surely these police have better things to do than break poor working class shopkeeper's windows and destroying computers?
If it wasn't for these peaceful proletarians, I'm sure these Czarist police would have caused more damage.
Damn that Bushitler!
Once again, it's all his fault!

Goodness! I certainly hope someone took the opportunity to shoot him. A MIME is a terrible thing to waste, as is a good propaganda opportunity, and well... damn... one like this just doesn't come along that often...
I will be sorely disappointed in our South American brothers and sisters if they've dropped the ball on this one...

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....
Been over to Goonland lately?
The Frozen Minnesota Moonbats are still nutty as ever.
Mulva screens all his posts, so he has none.
And Gloria still runs the whole sick show.

Now now... I'm sure it will soon reach a 'tipping point', and then... well... what then, exactly? I've never quite been certain where it was all headed and it wasn't exactly a well excreted manifesto...
So... remind me again... what was the point?

Soaring like one of Mulva's atonal, disharmonic, out of tune dirges!
A Cacophonic Symphony of Sysaphus Preportions!
I'm sure they'll be in D.C. this weekend to Dishonor The Wall. Maybe Roger Waters will help them?
