Protest Materials for Sale

Yesterday on Minnesota Public Radio, host Gary Eichten described a group of suspected anarchist protesters who were detained near the St. Paul Cathedral. Due to the Republican National Convention, right now lovely downtown St. Paul, with its stately capitol building, ornate cathedral and graceful history center, is swarming with excitable dark-suited Republicans and angry ski-mask clad anarchists. Gary Eichten announced the group of suspects were carrying "protest materials". Then Gary lowered his voice, and in a tone tinged with disgust and horror, he said "including bags of feces". He did not say whether it was of human or animal origin. Perro the pup thinks he can get a new job providing protest materials when he's taking care of his daily business. I wouldn't mind having a few people around to bag up the stuff Perro produces daily. If anyone needs some protest materials, they're available near the bushes in my front rock garden. You can leave your payment of $3 per baggie under the front mat.
