We're in Chicago for Justin

We're in Chicago for Justin and Laura's wedding. The hotel has bitchin' fast wireless internet. Schweet.

I guess there's some huge trade meeting going on downtown today and tomorrow. As expected, a circus of protesters has come to town with it. The rumor is that the protesters are going to try and tie up traffic and cause a nightmare rush hour. Who knows how that'll work out.

In a truly bizarre move, one of the protesters punched a police horse during this afternoon's rally. People punch horses? Whaa?

I'm taking a stand. A stand against horse punching. I will never punch a horse - unless one punches me first.

In fairness, it's not so much a stand against animal violence as it is a stand against stupidity.
