So, I'm calmly walking down the downtown sidewalk, minding my own business, when I see what looks to be ALL the TV stations in town with their satelite dishes stuck up in the air like a bunch of probes.
A guy came walking up next to me, and I says, "What's happening this time that I know nothing about?". To which he replies, "I was hoping *you* knew." All of a sudden, it hits me -- That piece of smarm who likes to think of himself as the Vice pResident is in town! Aw, crudarama!
On my walk back, I see the cops suddenly stopping all traffic, creating one loverly gridlock. As I met the eyes of people on the street, I said, "Aren't you just pleased as punch we got Cheney in town?" So many puzzled faces turned to disgust as they realized WHO was creating the mess! I got into a little chat with one guy, and reminded him of Cheney's pleasant exchange on the floor of the Senate, and we both yelled, "Go Cheney yourself!", and broke out laughing.
As I kept walking down the street, every car that had it's window open I let them know they were in for a really long wait, and why. Either people were just plain ready to be pissed, or they *really* don't like Cheney, cuz the minute I told them who was in town, they got a really disgusted look on their faces.
I couldn't do much, but at least I was letting folks know they aren't alone in their disgust, and it's just fine to say so.
