Zombie: 9/11 Truth March at the Democratic National Convention
On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, a “truther” organization called We Are Change sponsored the “9/11 Truth March.” I didn’t expect more than a few dozen people to show up, but was surprised and a little disturbed at how large it turned out to be — the crowd numbered in the hundreds.

Zombie: I Went to Invesco and All I Got Was This Lousy Report
I tried to find the beginning of the line — a line which seemed to have no beginning or end. I made the mistake at first of trying to go toward the entrance. Foolish me.

Zombie: The Democratic Convention Giant Puppet Parade
On Tuesday, a group called The Backbone Campaign sponsored a parade they call "Procession to the Future," but which is better known in journalistic circles as Giant Puppets!

Zombie: Scenes from a Convention
Not everything that happens outside the Democratic National Convention fits into a “theme” of some sort. The following series of images were all taken within the space of two hours. Here's a more gut-level impression of what walking around Denver is like this week.

Zombie: Pro-Hillary March
On Tuesday, some Hillary Clinton die-hards held a march along the “designated parade route” from Denver’s Civic Center Park to the “free speech zone” at the Pepsi Center, where the convention is being held. Their goal: a last-ditch attempt to secure the nomination for Hillary.

That loss is common would not make
My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.

Let this be a moby free area

In honor of the pod of Mobys from the previous thread:

Greenfootball-land Whale Fisheries

In the year of two thousand and ought eight
And of May the twentieth day,
We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast
And for Greenfootball-land sailed away, brave boys,
And for Greenfootball-land sailed away.

The lookout in the crosstrees stood
With spyglass in his hand;
There's a whale, there's a whale,
'Tis a moby, he cried
And she blows at every span, brave boys
She blows at every span.

The captain stood on the quarter deck,
The ice was in his eye;
Overhaul, overhaul! let your jibsheets fall,
And you'll put your boats to sea, brave boys
And you'll put your boats to sea.

Stinky's harpoon struck and the line played out,
With a single flourish of his tail,
His post was deleted, his account was blocked,
And we no more saw that whale, brave boys,
And we no more saw that whale.

The losing of that moby poster,
Did not grieve the captain sore,
But deletion of the posts quoting him
Now it grieved him ten times more, brave boys
Now it grieved him ten times more.

Oh Greenfootball-land is a lively land
That rejects the rude and obscene
Where all attitude's given wide latitude
But the moby's seldom seen, brave boys
But the moby's seldom seen.

But isn't cutting internal wiring so that upwards of 30 American soldier die in a crashed Chinook helicopter a little more akin to "sabatage?"

But if the doctrine of Fast-Fish be pretty generally applicable, the kindred doctrine of Loose-Fish is still more widely so. That is internationally and universally applicable.

What was America in 1492 but a loose-fish, in which Columbus struck the Spanish standard by way of waifing it for his royal master and mistress? What was Poland to the Czar? What Greece to the Turk? What India to England? What at last will Mexico be to the United States? All Loose-Fish.

What are the Rights of Man and the Liberties of the World but Loose-Fish? What all men's minds and opinions but Loose-Fish? What is the principle of religious belief in them but a Loose-Fish? What to the ostentatious smuggling verbalists are the thoughts of thinkers but Loose-Fish? What is the great globe itself but a Loose-Fish? And what are you, reader, but a Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too?

Melville rocks.

Ever heard of this band?

Andrew Jackson Jihad

...For those unfamilar, Andrew Jackson Jihad are a two man "folk-punk" group consisting of acoustic guitar and standup bass. Following the trend of the album title, their most recent full-length contained songs about the most strange, yet extremely interesting topics. Lyrics about death, racism and other sometimes untouchable things juxtaposed with jangling feel-good folk jams. As for Only God Can Judge Me, it just adds more points onto the band's already successful scoreboard.

The lyrics are just as abrasive and blatant; "Human Kittens" discusses the death of small animals as a metaphor and "Candle in the Wind" states "I want to eat red, red, meat / I want to feel it digesting inside of my tummy / I support animal testing / I'd kill a kitten to save a human being." At times it is uncomfortable to listen to, but at the same time it is difficult to stop. In contrast to People, God has more slower tempos all over. The middle of the eight-song set ("Guilt: the Song" and "Candle in the Wind") are much less frantic than the majority of People, with impressive results. AJJ show that they are not a one-trick pony in this way.
