The election of Barack Obama was supposed to lead us out of confusion and
into the dawn of a new age, away from The Dark Days where Satire
Was Dead.
Darn it! The Real World™ isn't supposed to trump satire!
So you have a former Weather Underground member who now is pro-military,
throwing shoes at the anti-military Socialist Mayor, in a protest that
would fall under the "community of sanctuary" protection if the protester
still was a member of the Weather Underground and protesting against the
Iraq war. Only in Ithaca.

Sigh.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
