Protesters could disrupt Rose Parade
;)

There needs to be a Pinocchio float to symbolize all of the lying.

By SOLVEJ SCHOU, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 29 minutes ago

PASADENA, Calif. - There could be some discord during the Tournament of Roses Parade as demonstrators promise to raise issues during the holiday spectacle that has been going on for more than a century. Human rights advocates plan to protest a float honoring the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and anti-war activists, including "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan, intend to rally for peace.

The theme of this year's New Year's Day parade is "Passport to the World's Celebrations." It will feature 46 floats, 21 marching bands and 18 equestrian units.

3. Don't bother. The corporate whore press won't be able to
find any protesters. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

2. Prostesters try that
every so ofen but the organizers and the media know how to exclude them and keep them pretty much out of public view.
