I hate to rain on this parade - but it seems to me that a display such a this will make Karl's day.
When I was in Florida on election day working with ACT, I drove past "demonstrators" on a busy thoroughfare - early in the morning as people drove to work. Two men and two women, dressed to look stereotypically "gay" carried signs that said "Vote Kerry Make Gay Marriage Legal". Clearly this was a very clever foil to scare commuters into voting against Kerry, and maybe it helped.
I have spent a lot of time in New Orleans - and I am in mourning for the city. If this parade is meant for the victims, it seems to me that the resources required for this event, be they bottled water, subway tokens, time, media coverage, whatever … may be better spent in the form of a donation to the Red Cross. I was shocked to hear on the radio (yesterday I think) that New Yorkers have only donated 3 million dollars since this crisis began.
I am pretty confident that left to her own devices, Katerina will have enough momentum to flood the House and Senate blue come mid-term elections.
