Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

I haven't followed this to-do at all, but I wouldn't be impressed by a bunch of overweight bikers.

4-500 overweight bikers or 10-50 overweight women. Six to one, half dozen to another. The crowd was far more diverse than that.

Don't forget the pink dwarf. The whole thing looks like a county fair to me, sorry.

The German armed forces symbol, the Eiserne Kreuz, is another fine choice for an American 'freedom veteran'...

German trucks.
Variations of the German cross are used to denote a variety of meanings. Something a distinguished writer like yourself should know.

Re: Pro-Troops Rally at Marines Recruiting Office
Seeing the Iron Cross there was a laugh indeed. Where's EMFM?
So were the "soldier of jesus"-patches in various disguises. Wasn't Jesus a pacifist?
"Soldier of David" would probably more correct...

Re: Pro-Troops Rally at Marines Recruiting Office
Reading the article, and following the author's vid-links, I think what we see are brand-new patches on brand-new unwrinkled leathers worn by riders of brand-new Harley-Davidsons, out for a weekend "Bike Rally", organized by a fired talk-show radio personality.
Last week: the Redwoods; this week: Berkeley; next week: the Napa vineyards. Then back home to the Marin county mansion, to park the "hog" between the Hummer and the Jag.
"Gentrified Bikers", as it were, called out for a media-event. NTTAWWT.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Does it really matter if they were "authentic" bikers or not?

only at gay pride parades.
and biker bars, of course.
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
Re: Pro-Troops Rally at Marines Recruiting Office
Not at all. It's America, where even the Bourgeoisie get to vent their feelings, though they seem to like to don costumes to emphasize their point(s). Boston "Tea Party" set that precedent, I guess.

Heh, good point. Not since the 70's. Maybe a few in Oakland.

You did make a good observation that I missed though. If it was in a different region of the country I would be more suspicious.

Did anyone notice how rough the cops looked? Fat, dark glasses and goatees.
The whole thing just seems a bit weird, Code Pink being the weirdest.
