77/365: Erin Go Whoopee

.

Near the end of the St. Patrick's Day parade route, a couple of blocks from my office. I don't ride these things. Sure, power, freedom, wind in your hair (in the few states that do not require a helmet, notably Illinois and California) but, well, it's just bloody crazy.

Question: what's another term for motorcycle rider?

Answer: organ donor.

I guess I'll never understand. But then my life insurance premiums are cheaper.

An advertising sign along the St. Pat's parade route. Celebrate right with a 40% alcohol beverage. Actually, I prefer Bushmill's 18 year old but that's from Northern Ireland. It probably wouldn't go down so well in the Republic. Most Americans wouldn't know the difference.

Patriotism is not the exclusive province of the Tea Party. I look at these faces and then think back to those I saw when I covered the Tea Party rally here last summer. What I don't get is the plutocrats' end-game. If they grab the bulk of the money for themselves, draining it away from everybody else, then people won't have money to buy stuff, the consumer economy collapses and the plutocrats go broke. Such irony. R. Crumb explained it well.
