Another day, another protest. This one’s about the G8 summit meeting the president’s presently holding at Camp David. And the most interesting thing about it all is, nobody seems to know what the protestors really want.

It seems there are people all over the nation, carrying signs, sleeping in tents and cooking food over fires in trash cans, but for what reason? For example, I saw a woman reporter on TV this morning who said she lives in an apartment on Wall Street and that there are still folks encamped there. But, except for the local merchants who are losing business due to the pains in the neck who are pestering those that pass by, nobody else cares a whit about their presence.

As for me, as I’ve written many times in the past, that as long as these sign-toting dregs aren’t anywhere near me, I think they’re great for the nation and hope their numbers keep multiplying. Because with unemployment remaining doggedly high and so many folks unable to find jobs, I believe it’s a very good thing that these protestors have taken themselves out of the work force leaving more room for others who actually need to work.

But then again, since the only thing the protestors seem able to do is walk in a circle and carry misspelled signs, what else are they really qualified to do should they ever actually try to find work? About the only thing I can think of that takes no ability whatsoever is the presidency itself, and at the moment the position’s filled.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
