I noticed this billboard by the airport yesterday during my morning commute and have to share.

LOL!

Good catch Spacegoat!

So what are your plans for Labor Day week? Are you going to hide out until they all leave or check out some of the action?

I never have much of a reason to go to Saint Paul anyway. Of course Ron Paul will be at the Target Center in Minneapolis. That crowd is a whole different kind of scary. No, I'll just hang out in my quiet Eagan home until they all go away. I'll leave it to you and the other Viners to keep me informed.

Hey I will do my best!

Watch out though... If I recall correctly you work in Mpls. There may be some action there as well. Tuesday and Wednesday might be most likely with Ron Paul and then Rage Against the Machine at Target Center. Keep in mind also that financial institutions are sometimes the targets of protesters.

Rage Against the Machine? Are they there with Ron Paul, or is it just coincidence?

I think it is just a coincidence. They are being advertised as a separate event. They are playing in Denver as well.

But, it could make for some exciting times in downtown Mpls after the concert.
