I Love A Charade


Sometimes Coyote just loves the spectacle, the pomp, the splendor, and the excitement of a good old fashioned parade. Or is that charade? Sometimes Coyote can't tell.

Coyote drove the protester parade route yesterday, and even though Coyote needs new glasses, he could barely see the Pepsi center from the parade finish at Speer and Larimer.  Will the parade be within sight and sound of the delegates?  Hardly.

And then in court yesterday the Secret Service apparently confessed that the real reason the protesters would not be allowed to get too close to the Pepsi Center is that if a bomb went off there, the protesters might get hurt.  So keeping protesters away from the Pepsi Center is for their protection.  You buying that one?  Neither is Coyote. 

Don't jive the Coyote.  Just be honest.  Honesty is our friend.   If you don't like the protesters and you don't want them anywhere near the festivities, just say so, and let a judge decide if you are right or wrong.  But don't say the end of the parade is near the Pepsi Center, and don't say you are keeping protesters away for their own well being.  That's a lot of Coyote droppings.

Coyote hates a charade.
