    I'm sorry that looks less like a protest and more like a line at the godforsaken Starbucks.

    And knowing Fox they'll say, "Tens of two showed up! See, that means something!"

    Yes, seven people now need bus fare back to their homes in "Twister" country. #protests

    Methinks it would take 3/5 more people to get Fox News to cover a more heavily-pigmented protest.

    who's the drag queen in the white wig and fur shouldered white coat? And is that Roman Polanski next to her/him? I think Fox is being punked here #protests

    What exactly is "long legged mack daddy" supposed to mean? Sometimes extreme racism just goes to a place I can't even figure out--like that sound that makes dogs bark that humans can't hear.
    Right? #protests

    @Gabriel Snyder: That makes NO sense. Barry's a mack daddy to... His beautiful wife and mother to two wonderful kids.
    Which should be a-OK to the pastor-folk, shouldn't it?

    Hehe. And just when Scientology thought they'd weathered the worst of it:
    An Anonymous protester in Nashville sues for $6m for assault, wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution - [www.wsmv.com]

    And the St Petersburg Times begins another ass-whooping 3-part series of articles, commencing today with articles and videos about how Scientology tracks down staff who leave without permission - using private investigators and tracing their credit cards... www.truthrundown.org

    Couple of things. One, their Rome opening that they keep referring to has not been mentioned by any corroborating source that I have seen. It's just been a flood of press releases on free news services. They can't even afford PR Newswire anymore, it seems.

    Second, any out of work journalists - Scientology's Freedom Magazine is hiring! It says they cover human rights and social betterment issues, but really their specialty is a good smear. Perhaps a place to go if your ethics aren't good enough for TMZ?

    WTF, is that why they re-routed the normally super speedy 16th street bus today. It made me late for the Coen brother's movie.
    And that crazy alien attracting shield thing they put on that beautiful old pre-war totally looks like a bad set piece. Fucking whack jobs.

    they were setting those ribbons and that crest up for days this week, my bus rolled past it on the way to work. I wouldn't think they'd want to call so much attention to themselves---did they do this kind of stuff when they were on the other side of dupont? #scientology

    Winnipeg was, and may still be, a testing ground for new McDonalds products, though only at certain outlets.

    And the Scientology joint is one of the only places in downtown Winnipeg open late enough that it's safe to walk down their street.

    Coincidence? Probably, yeah. But they are the center of the continent, so be warned... #scientology
