3/24/2004: Indonesian campaign rally



The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle has a bull for their party symbol, and so this supporter is painted as the party logo, dancing at a campaign rally for Indonesia's President Megawati Sukarnoputri.

Now that's putting the "party" back in the Democratic Party of Struggle.

Wouldn't work here. All our political parties are "Bull" parties.
Great picture, UT.

Aren't these the same people, not necessarily this party, that stoned a mayor to death for heading up a vampire blood drinking ring?

Ah, here it is. I was close...

BLANTYRE, Malawi (Reuters) - Hundreds of angry Malawians hounded a senior political figure from his house and stoned him late Wednesday, accusing him of harboring vampires.

Blantyre Urban Governor Eric Chiwaya, a member of the ruling United Democratic Front, was the latest victim of a bizarre rumor that the country's government is colluding with vampires to collect human blood for international aid agencies.

Holy shit! There are some ignorant people in the world.

Didn't they know that the vampires were gathering the blood for their own use, and not for international aid agencies. How naive.

Democratic Party of Struggle? Who are they up against, Republicans of Nice Afternoon? Libertarians of Doom?
