In report on G-20 Summit, Guthrie noted that “[w]e do expect the first lady to change her clothes ... before she meets with the queen”

Meeting the Queen is probably the most insignificant and purely ceremonial part of the President's trip, and so sure, the hack media will play it up like it was a detente or something, between delegations from the planets Mars and Venus...

Good LORD.

As far as the hack coverage I'm seeing so far, which is mostly MSNBC: they seem determined to play up and even overplay, what they're calling "protests": but aside from simply being a number of people (not even a great number) having come out on what looks like a pleasant enough day, to mill about comfortably on streets that are conveniently closed for just such a thing...

Aside from the crowds, I can see little or nothing that indicates a "protest".

There are few if any banners or signs being displayed: there is no organization to the crowds that I can see: there are no spokespersons or anyone making any kind of speeches, whether raving or coherent: there aren't even any rythmic chanting, which is almost a mandatory requirement to be called a protest!

You know, like "Hell No We Won't Go!" or "The Whole World Is Watching!" or even "Great Taste... Less Filling!"

It's not a protest as far as I can see, just crowds who have come out for the occasion, like when the home team wins the big ballgame, and everybody fills the square, just because everybody else is doing the same...

But you what? The few, very few people who I've seen interviewed, they seem to have a message of some sort they want heard: it seems to be about Regulation of the financial system.

Again, there are really no banners or signs, and certainly no spokespersons or speechmakers that I've seen (and until someone starts making a speech about what it is they want, then I could never even guess what they might be "protesting")...

But a few persons seem to be indicating something about Regulation of the financial system: and so no wonder MSNBC is playing it up as a "protest" without making the least effort to get into what's being protested.

Maybe it's Mrs. Obama's wardrobe...

Or perhaps it's the malicious and pervasive creeping into our lives, of something called "Light Beer": which is bound to upset these Euro folks and Brits, who seem to prefer beer so heavy and sometimes thick, that it will fill you up better than a Turkey Dinner...

"Tastes Awful... Not At All Filling!" is what true beerdrinkers think, about the pervasive and malicious American thing called "Light Beer".
