This report is brought to you from Albuquerque New Mexico.
Traffic - normal. Just as many cars on the road as usual. DAMN! I was hoping for no traffic.
Wal*Mart parking lot - I went to Wal*Mart to buy some stuff I could have put off until later. The parking lot is almost always 90% full. Today it was 85% full. There were a few more spaces than usual, but two employees inside said that business was absolutely normal for a Monday.
Albertson's Parking lot - it's a supermarket. Parking lot was normal and one employee said she noticed no difference from any other day.
Drive-Thru Teriaki Chicken Bowl - I had to wait LONGER than usual. I went there because I thought they had some illegals working there. The person working the drive-thru said that they were busier than normal and everyone showed up to work.
All in all, the goal of shutting down our society is a BUST! It ain't happening!
One thing I promise you... they will claim victory! Their efforts aren't changing ANYTHING, yet they will claim victory.

And now with a report from South Carolina, Far Rider:
Thanks, Bounce, for that report.
As it turns out, the scheduled high school walkouts here never materialized, and the business going in and out of Home Depot seemed as brisk as ever. What I did notice, though, is that it was a lot easier to get in and out of the Exxon station than it usually is.

Meanwhile, in Iraq, the camels are ... umm ... err ... roaming around as usual.

Nothing going on here, supposedly there is a boycott tonight at 6, I plan to do my shopping then. I'll let you know if I see anything.
One of our philipino friends told us about it, he thinks it's the stupidest thing ever and his parents are legal immigrants. His father use to be a police officer.

Well here on Long Island or my slice of it, all the bodegas are closed and the predominately Spanish neighborhood not far from here, it seems like a Sunday. Was at the hardware store and over heard a conversation between a contractor and the clerk. The clerk asked him if all of his guys showed up and he said they did all but one who he said now no longer has a job with him.

Now, that is what I'm talking about! Guess some of these protesters didn't factor the ramifications of their actions into their boycott -- no show; no job. Oops!

In southeast Virginia, no real difference. Had to go to the office today to take care of some damned medical bills (my own company f'd up my billing) but traffic was as screwed as usual all over town.
In the office park where I work the grounds crew was out spreading mulch and working up flower beds dispite the drizzle. Those guys made it in to work MayDay protests or no.

On Northern California Coast:
I passed by a small demonstration of about 30 students and old moonbats on the way to work. One had a placard that read "We are America" to which I flipped my helmet visor up and yelled "Bullshit!" while rendering the single finger salute.
Hey, I have 1st amendment rights too!
Later, I stopped my the HD store and bought a chrome front end and some other bling-bling for my Sportster, spending $400 + on American parts, at an American business, for my American motorcycle.

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan...well, I tell you one thing! You won't see no Illegals causin' a fuss here! (I wonder if there is such a thing here. :-\ )
They did close the Dairy Queen and Subway shops. It seems there has been a drastic increase in the number of cases of "Mullah Omars Revenge" on Camp Phoenix. (Glad I skipped on getting that shake I wanted the other night!)

FROM BOSTON DOWN TO THE POCONOS:
(Up in Boston for business for the day)
Business & traffic normal - no sign of anything ... except ... OHHHH
1800 Hrs (+) On "r-r-r-r-Radiotista el Publico Nacional" (Formerly "NPR") The reporters are absolutely GUSHING with enthusiasm about the "Marches" that are forming up.
"Well tom, there's 10's, even 100's here already, and we're expecting 100,000 or more! From sea to shining sea, THIS is the new America! Maria Sanchez is here with me, she came to this country when she was 11, and has raised a family here in the 29 years since... Maria!"
(m. sanchez) "Me....es ....Americano ... no ... es ... illegal ..... FAMILIA!!! (drowned out in crowd cheers)"
Didn't see nothing though.

Wow! judging from her mastery of the spanglish language you would NEVER suspect she wasn't born here. Yup, she's a Hispmericano alright!

Yeah SFC,
Arrived at 11 yrs old, been here 29 years, barely speaks uno licko - didn't stop the gringo reporters from trying to clean it all up & claim that there were many US flags (yeah - most that I saw on the news were either dragging on the ground, hanging out of their puta-shorts or flown upside-down on a stick.)
I mean - it was EXACTLY LIKE THAT FAG Jeraldo with all the laughing & joking & changing the story.

Well the newspaper up here claimed there were hundreds in Virginia Beach that protested. I don't head down to the oceanfront much so I guess I missed them, other than that I haven't noticed anything out of the usual around here.
I wonder if Steve will drop by with a report from So. Cal.?
