Heartbreak hotel

So, a big banner is going to be put in front of the Hilton Hotel ahead of the G-20 summit to hide the unfinished construction.

I believe that strippers - not that I would know any of those - have a word for such coverings meant to add a note of decorum to sights that the eye is naturally drawn to - pasties.

This would be the biggest pastie in the world but it would be a bit of cover for the boobs who run the Hilton and did not pay their bills. So it's all good.

To those who haven't read it, I highly recommend E.J. Dionne's piece "The Politics of the Jackboot" in today's paper. It thoroughly refutes all those of you who have argued that the current protests about health care are not of a different order than protests again George W. Bush. The fact is that they are different - and any reasonable person would think so. (I know, know, being reasonable isn't as much fun.)

By the way, Dionne is another journalist who sees the hand of racism in the protests, so I guess we can add him to PghGirl's list (see last posting), although she wrote before he did. I did promise not to mention this subject again but it's to PghGirl's credit, so I think it's OK.

Have a happy weekend everybody. Don't go getting all reasonable on me and losing your charm.
