Why Are Progressives Always Late?

The public service announcement on the radio said that the movie, Loose Change, a film about 9-11 would begin at 7 pm at the Grand Lake Theater. Fool that I am, I believed that announcement.

It must be that I have been out of the loop for a while. Away from all the various progressive assemblages. It is now 7:20. And just like days of old – those pre-digital, pre SurroundSound, pre THX, someone went to the front of this massive theater sans microphone, and said two decibels lower than audible… something. I couldn’t quite make it out. And right on cue a number of those in attendance shouted out, “I can’t hear you!” Then he left. Of course he had no need for a microphone; everyone knew what he said. He was letting us know that the film would in fact not be starting at 7 pm.

It is now 7:25. I must have missed the next cue because the chanting began, and the clapping…

Ah, the film might actually begin. No. Not yet. First we will have a few speakers…
More later.
