The question was posed to

The question was posed to me: Under the Keilholtz dictatorship, what would have happened to the protesters trying to block the Bay Bridge?
Answer: Well, there wouldn't have been any protesters last night, as they would still all be in prison.

I will probably rant about the protesters later, but felt the need for the official position to be posted right now. It was pointed out at work that the protesters made more interesting television than the long line of Bradley Combat Vehicles inching through the desert.

The best live television moment was when poor Peter Jennings, who looked like he was going to drop off into slumber before our eyes, identified his guest as "the son of his father." His own realization of this utterance threw him into such a confusion he forgot the next question. Not that I would have done better on the amount of sleep the poor fellow is undoubtedly operating on.
