#1 known on the protest circuit as Mary Christmas

Does this line of work have a union, does it pay a living wage, health insurance?

#2 We should contract out the cheerleading to some hot babes from, oh say, Thailand.

#3 San Diego huh? Strange - they make a big impact since I've never heard of them.... subtle protests are the new wave?

#4 "Itâs becoming this new crazy thing there."

At least they're self-aware.

#5 "Itâs not just the same "1, 2, 3, 4, we donât want your racist war" stuff thatâs been around since the sixties," Housten said.

For that I welcome them as well, I'm sick of the same old Vietnam chants. Be original for a change and perhaps people will listen. I agree with Frank, I've not heard of these lasses. I don't remember any real protests in San Diego at all. There was a pro-troops rally or two near the Mirimar Marine base but no protests.

#7 It really looks like 'peace' riots are the place to hook up with ugly, hairy chicks. Those Doc Martens are tres sexy, much more so than plain ol' cheerleader outfits.

The anarchists also wear masks alot- are they practicing wearing burqas when they turn the U.S. into a socialist sharia paradise, I wonder?

#12 Housten has cheered at the mayorâs doorstep to demand citywide recycling and at a burlesque club to raise money for a feminist bookstore.

cheerleaders against burlesque? Apparently, the irony escapes them.

1,2,3.4, look at me and look somemore..5,6,7,8 attention we can generate....9,10,11,12 we've discovered and discovered well....13,14,15,......at 16...if we can bounce up and down, men think we're swell.

#15 the old '60's chants are infinitely adaptable, and not just for leftie causes.

I guess you guys dont remember "2,4,6,8 Israel is a JEWISH state"
"1,3,5,9 no such land as Palestine"
or
"2,4,6,8 let my people emigrate"
and
"2,4,6,8 open up the iron gate"

and then there was the lefty originated, but suitable for any budget related protest
"they say cutback, we say fightback"
