If the BPD thinks they can trash us, smash us, knock us down, have we got news for them ( Read more... )

I am not reading political blogs today.
I am not reading my Twitter feed today.
I am not reading my Occupy email today.

The real world can kiss my fat white arse.

The problem is... the world is not ignoring me. Tonight it's a las barricadas, possibly for real.
