Ugh, do I need to show you some photos of Westboro Baptist preteen sign-wavers to show you how ridiculous you sound?

While I appreciate the subtle My Cousin Vinny reference, I have to agree with the previous comment: people should leave their kids at home. They're too young to know why they're there, and even if I agree with the march (and in this case I do), I am immediately less inclined to support the cause of anyone that would rope their unwitting kids into it.

Wow, two pictures of Sawant, but no pictures of any other council people...At least Council member Sawant posted pictures on twitter of her fellow council members as the rally...Come on Stranger

Did you go to Sawant's Twitter account and praise her for being collegial and acknowledging the credit that she's giving to her colleagues? If not, go ahead right now--there's not a moment to lose!

@6, nope, don't do twitter, but I'm giving her credit for it here. She deserves credit for it! It's worth pointing out that there's other CM other then Sawant that support the 15 buck min wage, and it's great to see CM Sawant give them credit, even if the Stranger can't. Seriously this isn't an attack on CM Sawant, it's announcing at how the Stranger rant against the Time's coverage of events and yet has their own narrative they follow.

Bah, I meant annoyance...

@7

Okay, that's cool. I respect that.

@7

I suppose a counter argument could be that favorable coverage--which I don't think can be taken for granted (remember the Stranger's criticism of McGinn for picking Diaz)--of Sawant balances out the generally anti-Sawant coverage that other news sources in the region provide.

@1,2,3 is just a parade you nitwits. have you ever gone? there's music, costumes, giant puppets, stops for hot chocolate, cheering and booing, ya know, life, fun, ever heard of it? Did you think MLK day was all grownup serious talk about social justice? jeeze never invite me to your parade, I'd fall asleep.

@11: I don't see any of that represented in the photos here. I didn't go, but none of that made it into the photos shown here (except maybe the cheering/booing, I guess). If that was the case, great, but it was still a political event at its heart, and I stand by my statement.
