I don't do mornings and this one got off to a bad start. I slept later than I should have then went into panic pass mode to get the Kirby Center for John McCain's town meeting on time. Gulped a coffee, threw on some clothes then headed downtown, parked at Boscov's then ran across Public Square in the rain a few minutes after 10AM.
.
Going through security they asked me to empty my pockets of metal, keys and any electronics. The person checking my stuff couldn't figure out my camera because it had a message that said "Replace the Camera Battery." He asked me to turn it on but I couldn't because the battery was dead. Then he said to me "I can't verify that this a camera so it can't come in. Please take it back to your vehicle."
.
Huh?
.
Ignoring all the smart ass/witty/relevant remarks that came to mind I ran back to the car and emptied my pockets of everything that had any metal except my car keys and on my second try to get in I was again stopped and told to step to the side this time to be electronically searched.
.
Somehow I made it inside after all that.
More to come...............................

I would love to see someone ask McCain about the 123 dead sailors on the Forestal and if he killed them.
It takes an admiral's son to get away with crashing 5 planes. Especially if 123 sailors died in one of the crashes. Was he shot down by the VC or an American pilot in revenge for the Forestal.
Gort, you and I have to learn to take spare camera batteries to these events!
Or a camera phone.
They would have thought the batteries were bombs.
Barry,
You're such an idiot. You really should be in a nut house. I'm embarressed for your family.
I ended up taking a few nice pictures. I took one of the donkey in the box office but security told me I had to delete it.
Fuck obama & mccain.
