#1 No big puppets?
Revolutionaries, my ass!

#2 So far, seems the protests in the UK are a flop too. Looks like the "revolutionary" dreams of the looney left and their communist cohorts are falling apart.

#3 Well, it's been rather cold and drizzly in London, and rainy in Miami. In inclement weather, the left has to be very careful they aren't purposely infected by some biological agent disguised as a 'cold' by the Fascist RegimeÂ©. Those jackbooted thugs will stop at nothing, you see. It's all part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracyâ¢.

#4 tu3031: I didn't see any giant puppets, and only a few giant banners, but the slogans were boring.

#6 Based on my observations of the protest here Monday, and others:

1. Papermache - the media of choice for the educated protestor
2. Chicks with pink hair are required
3. Multiple messages, no point in all of us protesting the same thing
4. Must not march in unison nor in the same direction as anyone else. Conformity is bad.
5. Recruit homeless people to hold signs
6. Never forget the good old days of Vietnam

#7 What happens to papermache in the rain? Perhaps the puppet show is delayed because of the drizzle. Without puppets to watch a lot of the other protestors might just stay home. The Pink tank only has so much appeal without a supporting army of puppets.

#8 You can always count on anarchists to be disorganized;)
