| ED KOCH TICKS OFF YIPPIES |
| 2004-04-25 |
| Yippies? They're still around? I had to pause and think to remember who they are... THE Yippies are so mad at Ed Koch for helping the organizers of this summer's Republican National Convention here, they vow to camp out 24 hours a day in front of his Greenwich Village apartment. "We're so ticked off at Koch for turncoating, we'll be there 'round-the-clock. We want to make it so he won't be able to come home for four days," said Yippie leader John Penley. "We'll probably be arrested." The Yippies, who have been turned down for permits to pitch tents in Tompkins Square Park and East River Park, plan a 24-hour vigil outside Gracie Mansion on Aug. 22, the day before the convention starts. But Koch is their biggest target because he's appearing in billboards saying, "You don't have to be a Democrat to love New York." Another says, "The Republicans are coming. Make nice." The Yippies expect authorities to open Yankee Stadium to hold all the protesters who are arrested, and to call in reinforcements. "We want the National Guard. We're going to give them medical marijuana and massages. We think they're on our side," Penley said. "They don't want George Bush re-elected; then they'd have to go to Iraq." |

| #5 Yippies: Youth International Party, Abby Hoffman's old bunch, circa 1969. I thought they evaporated before Abby croaked... |

| #4 Yippies are old hippies who became yuppies, but are in denial over that fact. |

#3 National Guard.... We think they're on our side," Penley said. "They don't want George Bush re-elected; then they'd have to go to Iraq."Delusions of grandeur and stupidity. Yeah, right - the National Guard would rather wait until the jihadis bring the war here, to their families, again than to fight it in Iraq. Of course, if/when it does come here again, the yippies will be welcoming the jihadis and kissing the jihadis' asses - just before they get their throats slit. Wotta buncha delusional, useless maroons. |

| #1 Delusions of grandeur: The Yippies expect authorities to open Yankee Stadium to hold all the protesters who are arrested I wonder if it occurs to them that the Yankees just might need to borrow the place from time to time... Or will they be out on an extended road trip to accommodate their little protest? (Don't laugh: the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks frequently go out on the road to accommodate the circus at the United Center.) |
