So you know that bank and bailout protest in Chicago? Well Graph and I "accidentally" went to it this morning. Where "accidentally" means "for our own amusement".

"Bailout?" "No, thanks!" "Bust up..." "...Big banks!" (LOL!)

View from the hotel lobby:

More pictures of today's protest will be coming. Today the protest is 10X larger. Even Jesse Jackson is there today (big surprise, not).

Oh and when they started chanting fire the CEOs by name, when they said "Fire Ken Lewis!", I laughed and wanted to say: "You dumb asses, he already stepped down. Too late!"
 
Here is the view from the hotel. As you can see it was much larger protest than yesterday.

I had to plow through the crowd to get closer.

This is when they were firing the CEOs. Heh, Ken Lewis is gone, LOL. Notice Jesse Jackson is there with his buddy Captain Downsize... Jesse is thinking: "I think Captain Downsize there is downsized more by the cold weather than the banks, hehehehe."

A lot of people were there...

They made a nice banner for the news choppers.

They bused a bunch of people in today. Anything for a day off, right?

At least they kept the Chicago PD busy and working. Stimulus package FTW!

Later tonight, if Cayci has time, the whole album of pics from today will be uploaded. Except that is pretty much the gist of them.
