Buttons revisited

Remember what I said about the protester buttons yesterday?

Yup, this is a deterrent. Why do I think the people who are coming here to raise Hell give a shit about a discount at fucking Applebees? Here's a deterrent for ya. If I catch you doing something fucked up, you'll have wished the cops got ya first.

Well, Tom Tomorrow has this today:

Bloomberg won't compromise on Central Park...
...but he is offering protesters discounts on meals, museums and office supplies, among other things--as long as they promise to remain peaceful.

And as long as they're willing to wear a button identifying themselves as "Peaceful Political Activists."

(Parenthetical aside: you know, the Whitney, the Museum of Sex, the Pokemon store--places like that!)

Only in New-fucking-York.
