NATO/BP Cup Clusterfuck Thread

Darn.  Mrs. Cubbieblue and I will be in Chicago that weekend and were looking forward to a nice riot.

Well, the NATO summit will apparently still be here that Sunday and Monday.

A riot against NATO doesn't have the same appeal.

Correct. We can all get hacked off at the other G8 nations, but it would be awful to even consider protesting against a group that calls Poland and Denmark as members.

A noted Chicago baseball expert notes that the northern suburbs will be secure, possibly making Duke Childs Field in Winnetka an option?

Wow. Is Diamond Gems dead, replaced by calls to sleepy suburban police departments who confuse Queen Elizabeth driving down Dempster with Lady Di's motorcade going down Dempster?

I think this is as good a thread as any to make the NATO clusterfuck thread. Fight in Bridgeport between a bunch of anarchists and 80-year-old Sox fans (it's a shame a side had to lose) last night during a protest March gone bad. The closure of the CHICAGO RIVER! The Fox Lake Metra Station featuring tighter security than Ben Guiron Airport.

My wife getting Monday and possibly Friday off because she works in the Equitable Building while the absence of threats to Niles means I have to work both days.

NATO leaders possibly threatening to break away from any alliance with the U.S. and nuke us to the stone age after being forced to watch in person the Cubs (Dempster 0-1) vs. the White Sox (Danks 2-4) with the meatballs in full glory.

Anyone planning on attending any of those games? Anyone planning on leaving town? Anyone (I'm looking at you J. Walter Weatherman) planning to protest?

Where does Crane live?

Whoa man. J. Walter is a TAXOLIB HOMOCRAT. You want ANARCHOFAG OCCUBOMBER, you call a Bort.

[SKO]

Bort? You mean the guy in the polo over there picking out a mini-van for his burgeoning suburban family? Doesn't sound like an anarchist to me.

*eagerly awaits Morph photoshop of Bort protesting with a baby bjorn strapped to his chest.

J. Walter is a protest profiteer, amirite?

Just ask any Marxist Stooge: scratch an anarchist, find a Petit Bourgeois.

So was J. Walter among the 300 or so goofs that were just chanting outside the CBOT?

This image of Thrill as omnipresent Chicago protester is one that has kept me chuckling for the better part of the morning.

He's not just a Weatherman by internet alias.
