#1 I hope it's Boston, and I hope the ~~thugs~~ ~~goons~~ Teamsters are working a detail somewhere. I'll join for a day or two.

#2 I vote for Battle Mountain, Nevada. They have a large billboard outside of town that says "Voted the Armpit of America, by the Washington Post". For maximum effect, schedule it for August.

#3 They need to contract the Oakland PD. They know how to handle protesters (rubber bullets and wooden dows). Maybe we can pay them per person hit?

#4 I vote for Boston too, in July, same dates as the Democratic National Convention!

#5 Seattle is definitely the place for it. After the IMF riots, the Mardi Gras riots, and now the Law Enforcement Intelligence seminar riots this weekend, they've got protesting, riots, and destruction of private property down to a fine art. It's like freakin' Mecca for nutcases...

#6 San Francisco or Berkley leap to mind.

On the other hand, Guantanamo Bay is in the United States.

#7 I suppose it would be a waste of time if I wrote to W. and suggested that it be somewhere very near my home in Vadnais Heights, MN. (It's a suburb of St. Paul)(Which itself is kinda like a suburb of Minneapolis.)
I know a lot of people that would be willing to help out with security, and if you held it in January, most of the protesters would stay in their hotel rooms.

#8 I suggest Zap, No. Dakota, sometime in mid-winter. True, it is a one-dog town, your basic wide spot in the road, with no "guest facilities" to speak of but there is a military base nearby...

#9 Having it in Hollywood would be amusing. Rodeo Drive has plenty of shops to loot, they'd get their media coverage, and the liberal stars won't have to commute to the protests.

#10 I'm surprised nobody suggested Texas. Isn't it still legal to shoot trespassers there?

#11 That's right, somebody will be in Boston. The Dimbo 2004 convention in July. Try not to be too dazzled by Mayor Menino and don't miss his speech. I hope there will be subtitles.
One good thing? He'll probably be bussing all the bums down to the Cape. The Dems really feel for the homeless but, god forbid, they gotta deal with them face to face.

#12 How about Vidor Texas? It's just down the road from Jasper...

#13 Point Barrow, Alaska

#14 I'd say Phoenix, sometime in August. It'd be funny to watch them melt. But St. Paul in January would be cute, too.

#15 Chicago. Local police haven't forgotten how to stage a riot against protesters.

#16 Mackinac Island Michigan. Scenic and securable. Both the Ds and Rs have meetings there every year. The protesters will have to swim.

#17 North Ward of Newark, NJ. The residents there don't get to bust heads of rich white boys as much as they would like too.

#18 Gotta be Beverly Hills. Right on Rodeo. Give the anarchists something serious to trash. Piss off the real money.
