More from the Augusta Protest

We trust our news reporters to be thoughtful and discerning. Some violate this trust. The following is from an actual published news report:

Throughout the morning, law enforcement officers stood on the perimeter of the five-acre field. At no point did the protest turn violent, though officers escorted Heywood Jablome away after he held up a sign directly in front of Burk that read "Make me dinner" before shouting "Oprah rules."

And if you didn't catch that, no I won't explain it to you. Especially if you write for a newspaper.

Friday Night

The Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash was a good time, of course. It's nice to put faces together with the writing. I had the pleasure of talking with Andy, Stephen, Matt, and Matt. I also met Zombyboy for the first time, and found out he has a blog. Forgive me, I'm kind of slow. I've seen his comments on other sites before, and now I have some catch-up reading to do.
There were a few others I did not get a chance to meet, so lets do it again, and sooner.

Golf is Vile!

Martha Burk's Augusta protest brought out pro and con demonstrators, and this one:

One protester didn't support either side. He was just against golf.
The front of his T-shirt said, "All Golf is Vile." The back said, "Golf destroyes (sic) Houses, Farms and Forests." When told he had misspelled destroys, the man said, "Yeah, I misspelled apartheid in the '80s."

I gotta get me one of them shirts.
