Tonight’s going to be a Kennedyfest, you’d better just get used to it, culminating in a Ted Kennedy extravaganza you may not be able to believe. Here’s another discussion thread as Caroline takes the podium.

Zombie: Prisoners' Rights "Recreate 68" Protest - Mini Report
Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 3:48:46 pm PDT
(Zombie's reports are cross-posted at Pajamas Media.)
Recreate 68 scheduled a "major" protest for "prisoners' rights" on Monday afternoon. The event seriously fizzled, with perhaps 200 protesters at most. The march ended outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Denver. Here, a Recreate 68 devotee watches two masked wannabe terror boys "guard" one of the speakers (out of the frame off to the left). Notice radical firebrand and fake Indian Ward Churchill in the background.

Here’s an open thread to discuss what’s going on at the Denver convention; Zombie’s been hanging out with (or I should say, lurking near) Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer, and Danny Glover to name a few, and another report is imminent barring unforeseen internet connection problems.
Right now the convention is mostly mind-numbing formalities being read from teleprompters by smiling functionaries. All the action is outside, where Agent Z lurks.

We should have some more photos from Denver soon; I’ve been keeping in touch with Agent Z via SMS on a jailbroken iPhone. Upcoming highlights: the Falun Gong protest, and Angry Joe Biden’s arrival.
Breitbart: The Inconvenient Obama
Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 10:09:48 am PDT
Andrew Breitbart says Barack Obama has a problem, now that he’s opened up the “class warfare” line of argument: The Inconvenient Obama.
Sen. Barack Obama has a problem. And it lives in a hut.
His name is George Hussein Onyango Obama, and he is the 26-year-old half brother of Mr. Obama, the multimillionaire autobiographer who neglected to write that his paternal sibling lives on less than a dollar a month in the outer slums of Nairobi, Kenya.
They have met twice.
Unearthed by Italian Vanity Fair and virtually ignored by the American press, the inconvenient George Obama could emerge as a compelling character in the freshman senator’s carefully edited road-to-the-White-House narrative - especially now that his campaign has unleashed a personal attack on Sen. John McCain’s station in life.
Zombie: The Denver Games - Opening Ceremony

(Zombie's reports are cross-posted at Pajamas Media.)
Although the Democratic National Convention doesn't start until today, Monday, August 25, the protests against the convention started the day before on Sunday.
The PJM/LGF/zombietime photo team had not yet arrived in Denver, but luckily fellow photojournalist and LGF/zombietime stringer "El Marco" was on hand to record the day's goings-on.
