[AT] And now for something a little different...

[charlie hill]

Reminds me of the farmers protest back in the 80's I guess it was.  A few 
dozen, maybe a hundred or more, farmers drove big tractors to Washington DC 
and out onto the capital mall in protest
of something, trade policy maybe.  They were mostly big articulated 
tractors.  The DC police treated them like an invading army that was 
infected with the plague.  In other words they were scared of them.  The 
police chief was on TV and smugly reported that they had the situation under 
control.  They had surrounded the tractors with city buses.  He really 
seemed to think that would keep them
contained if they decided to try something.  LOL.

I read about it here on a swedish news site a few minutes ago.
