Step right up, folks. Come one, come all.

See the union thugs in purple shirts. Be amazed by the professionally printed signs with union bugs, printed in Chicago. Marvel at people who look more like refugees from a commune than your neighbors. Thrill at your Democratic congressmen finally coming out of hiding.

After several months of spontaneous protests and genuine voter anger against bailouts, deficits and health-care takeover plans, you can now witness some real Astroturfing. The unions and leftoid community organizing groups, taken completely by surprise all spring and summer by normal people actually getting out of their Barcaloungers and protesting something, have many Alinsky-inspired events planned in belated and probably ineffectual response.

It should be fun.
