I’d certainly be thankful if President Obama would state, unequivocally, that the peaceful, non-violent protesters have a constitutional right to assemble and speak out about whatever bothers them. And more importantly, he needs to state that the recent pepper spray attacks and other violence perpetrated upon the protesters by law enforcement officers is WRONG, and must stop now.

In the meantime, if you’d like your own military-grade pepper spray, you can get it on Amazon.com.  Just check out the hundreds of product reviews like these:

5.0 out of 5 starsAccept no substitutes when casually repressing students, November 21, 2011
This review is from: Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray (Misc.)

Whenever I need to breezily inflict discipline on unruly citizens, I know I can trust Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray to get the job done! The power of reason is no match for Defense Technology’s superior repression power. When I reach for my can of Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray, I know that even the mighty First Amendment doesn’t stand a chance against its many scovil units of civil rights suppression.

When I feel threatened by students, no matter how unarmed, peaceful and seated they may be, I know that Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray has got my back as I casually spray away at point blank range.

It really is the Cadillac of citizen repression technology.

Buy a whole case!

1.0 out of 5 stars Product Warnng: This procuct multiplies protesters
I casually used this product to try to disperse a small band of non-violent campers who had locked their arms together. Although initially it seemed to be effective, it took two applications! The worst part is that the next day they multiplied exponentially! Now what?

One positive outcome, I did receive a paid vacation for my efforts.

Today’s a double-header!  I did my show this morning, and am heading up to West Palm Beach to guest host the Randi Rhodes Show this afternoon!
This morning, I spoke with Huffington Post’s Joshua Hersh who’s in Cairo.  Journalist/broadcaster/activist Davey D joined me from Oakland, and comedian John Fugelsang checked in from Florida where he’s celebrating Thanksgiving with his mom.
This afternoon on Randi’s show, I’ll speak with Hersh and Fugelsang, plus Congressman Ted Deutsch and my friend Robert Lamarche about adoption (he’s one of the first gay men to legally adopt in Florida, and today is Alison’s & my “forever day”!)
We’ll be back with another live show here Monday morning.  In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!
