Real
American Heroes: "The Storming Yuppies Of 2000"
I
see you Florida Yuppies of 2000-dressed in your pink 'Tommy'
shirts, your khaki pants, and your brown docksides. You
risked it all to storm Florida's Dade County, Canvassing
Board Headquarter-a symbol of tyranny and repression,
surpassed only by KGB Headquarters in Berlin. Your action
placed the fear of mob violence into the minds of canvassing
commissioners and caused them to shut down the recount
process in that county. According to Gore camp attorneys
and the New York Times, it was fear of mob violence-not
the impossible deadline-that forced the commissioners
to close up shop and go home to eat turkey. Yes, "Storming
Yuppies," your terrorist style activity in Dade County,
Florida on November 22, 2000 will go down in history.
Along with the Storming of the Bastille in July 1789 and
the Bolshevik Seizure of the Winter Palace in October
1917, your action is another milestone in the history
of mankind.
So
"Storming Yuppies of 2000", you prove ounce again that
an angry bunch of conservatives are mightier than 5000
pregnant ballots!
