Pissed Off in Phoenix …

Sorry. I’m confused. I don’t see any tea-baggers. If there are no tea-baggers it’s not news.

Besides which, WTF with the gays? Darling, this is not about you and yes, your hair is lovely, now get to the back and wait your turn.

@Benedick: First they came for the brown people, but I did not speak up because I was white … like Nordic white … like, seriously fucking Brownshirt white. Then they came for the gays, but I was too busy humping my girlfriend, so I did not speak up ….

@Benedick:

Of course there aren’t any teabaggers. All the signs are spelled correctly. :)

Can anybody translate the Spanish sign? Google doesn’t quite know what to make of it. I got (prodding it along a word at a time):

“The problem is: millionaires and politicians / cowards / they eat very well”

That last part was especially confusing; I’m guessing it’s might be some kind of idiomatic phrase?

@al2o3cr: No idea. I couldn’t figure that one out or the one about Bud Light (not posted).

It was a huge crowd. It took about an hour and forty minutes for the entire march to walk past my spot. There were people from all across the state from Douglas to Kingman and from across the country. There were Hispanics, Anglos, Indians, Asians, and Blacks.

There was also one pro-SB1070 dude (old white guy, of course) walking with his own ‘follow the law’ sign. People just ignored him.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Thanks for the pics.

Think I added the Bud Light photo …

@blogenfreude: yep. that’s the one. I guessed it had something to do with boycotts based on the kimberly clark sign next to it.

@al2o3cr: I can’t read the line in question after “cowards of USA and Mexico”…print is too small.

@Nabisco:

As close as I can make out (if you click through to the bare image, it’s a lot bigger):

ellos si comen muy bien

On a thoroughly unrelated note, I give you Thugz against Freemason chip implants. Honestly, I’d typically pegged the whole “mark of the beast” / NWO / chip implant /etc psychosis as something totally localized to white Christians (especially given the frequent crossovers between the NWO worriers and the “race war” crowd). Apparently, I was quite wrong.

@al2o3cr: “The problem is millionaires and cowardly politicians from the USA and Mexico. They sure eat well.” = that’s pretty much how I’d translate it.

ADD: Is there anyone who really is for Freemason chip implants?

@Nabisco: Yay! Now can you tell us what the Bud sign says?

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: It’s calling for a boycott of Bud and other beers, I assumed it was because Cindy Lou-Hoo Henlsey-McCain had the monopoly on beer distribution in Arizona.

Speaking of Cindy, it looks like a tony neighborhood they were marching in. Sure the rich white ladies weren’t freaking out with unmowed lawns and having to raise their own ankle-biters today?

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: And, Ess Eff Giants fans protested 1070 before the Diamondbacks-Giants game this afternoon. My friends who are at the game today are wearing their “Los Gigantes” jerseys (with their Panda hats in honor of Pablo Sandoval) and have promised to get me a Gigantes t-shirt.

@SanFranLefty: It’s actually a pretty liberal neighborhood. I think there’s actually an older gay couple living in that house. And we were right across the street from Napolitano’s condo.

@al2o3cr: Thanks so much for sharing that clip. As a Freemason myself (Mozart local 666) I must say I’m all for the chipping of the children and the indoctrinationz. Also, was watching Hud earlier and have a sneaking suspicion that Rand Paul based his campaign on Paul Newman’s performance. Which only make one want to say to him, “I have seen Paul Newman, sir, and you are no Paul Newman.”

Premonitions of cannibal anarchy: a group of men, mixed old and young, have made camp tonight in the grassy part of the alley just beyond my home’s driveway that leads back to an auto mechanic place.

I’ve been listening to them for hours now, shouts of “pussy” and various drunken expletives. By the way, they are all Caucasian. I don’t know if they are the same people who raid our recycling bin for the, I admit, bountiful empty bottles.

Haven’t called the cops or anything because, on the one hand, I want to hear what they have to say (which I can do quite comfortably from my balcony), and on the other hand, they haven’t done anything truly dangerous yet, like start a campfire.

Someone else called the cops and they rousted the lone cannibal surviving, probably the only one who is truly homeless amongst the kids who thought it would be amusing to urban-camp for an evening’s fun.

The cops let him go after his promise to move on. He’s taking his time about it. I have this urge to offer him a shower and some food. Shit.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: “Don’t give your money to the rasists [sic]”. I agree with Lefty, gotta be linked to the Cindy Lou Who brigade.

@PedonatorUSA: Leave a baked pie cooling on the windowsill.

@PedonatorUSA: I’ve heard that those urban bum types, once you clean them up, can look a lot like Dennis Quaid.
