| Battle of New York Update: Blackshirts Vandalize Golf Course |

| PROTESTS TAKE A NASTY SWING IN BX. By PERRY CHIARAMONTE and JOE McGURK Vandals hacked up fairways and spray-painted political slogans on a city golf course in The Bronx early yesterday, as protesters geared up for an anti-GOP protest march tomorrow past the Republican convention site. The graffiti — which included the slogans "Stop the War!" and "Politics Isn't Business" — was discovered at Van Cortlandt Golf Course and on nearby lawns and tunnels, parks officials said. Van Cortland is one of the oldest public golf courses in the US and was the setting for a classic Three Stooges episode in the 30s. "There was extensive damage to holes 15 through 18," said Parks and Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe. Holes damaged by 'holes, how appropriate. Members of United for Peace and Justice — which was denied a permit for a giant rally in Central Park — were planning for a 250,000-strong march tomorrow to begin at noon on 14th Street and Seventh Avenue. Gotta do the conversion: 250,000 in post-modern hippy notation....hmmm....er, that's about.....lessee....35,000 in old-fashiioned Eurocentric oppressor notation. The group urges protesters to "disperse peacefully at Union Square, and then make your own way to the Great Lawn." A steady drumbeat of other protests was under way yesterday. In Central Park, 50 protesters dressed in garbage bags — representing the body bags of U.S. servicemen killed in Iraq — laid down on the Great Lawn to spell the word "NO." I've advocated putting protestors in garbage bags for years. Earlier, hundreds of Bush-bashing mommies — many of them with children — marched across the Brooklyn Bridge. "War is harmful to children and terrorists and other living things." A dozen members of the women's group Code Pink crowded into the Midtown South precinct yesterday with a banner saying "Women for peace." A cop described the protest as pleasant and non-confrontational. Bitches for burqas. |

| #5 When you're posting the link, make sure it's the full URL, e.g. "HTTP://www.stuff.com/news/article.html". If you don't post it as a full path or include the HTML, then the link will be interpreted by everyone's browsers to be a sub-path of Rantburg, e.g. "www.stuff.com/news/article.html" will look something like "HTTP://www.rantburg.com/www.stuff.com/news/article.html". Ensure the "HTTP://" is in there to show the full path, or it will be interpreted as a relative path. |

| #3 I gave up trying to submit links like that. They get trashed everytime I have tried. I don't even submit them. www.rantburg.com is appended to them some how along with % and the number 22. Must be some Visual Basic thing. I don't know VB. Well this is par for the course, no pun intended. I wonder how many regular old democrat duffers have been deprived of their usual game on account of this anarco clowns. |

| #2 No idea. Normally, iirc, the source appears at the bottom left if it is not converted to a url, but this one converted itself to a (non-workable) link on the title bar. |
