Montanan Protests Obama with Manure
By Matthew Frank, 11-04-08
Only in Montana.
A Whitehall man parked a load of manure across the street from the Democratic campaign office there to protest presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
From the AP
Terry Reed, who owns a construction and excavation company in Whitehall, parked the trailer near the office on Saturday. He also posted a sign in the manure mocking Obama’s “change we can believe in” slogan as “a load of crap.”
“I think Obama’s plan is just one big old poop sandwich and we’re all going to have to take a bite,” he said.
Suzanne Molyneaux, the Obama campaign’s election team leader in Whitehall, said traffic came to a near standstill as people stopped to take pictures of the trailer.

"You can't price fix. That's socialism!"
There was not a hint of applause within earshot of me. It was dead silent for 50 to 100' in every direction. People gave me weird looks...not dirty looks, but looks like they knew the charade was up.
I also found that if you start yelling 'Alaskan Independence Party' anytime McCain talks about how awesome he thinks Todd Palin is people get really embarrased to clap as well.
And further, when McCain and the other speakers tried to tell us how awesome Republicans are, I tried to start a chant of "Renzi, Renzi, Renzi..." No one joined me.
I'd like to think I spread a little manure McCain's way, one westerner to another.
