A Portent

Ya gotta love the Yahoo headline:

Fans stream into streets to celebrate Phillies win

But the story is really about the Philadelphia "fans" having a wonderful little riot after winning the World Series.

Scattered vandalism was reported as revelry continued into the early morning Thursday before police began breaking up the thinning crowds.

Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey said officers made 76 arrests, adding 10 businesses were damaged during the raucous citywide celebration.

Windows were smashed at a bank and luggage store in the downtown shopping district. At least two cars were overturned, the windows of a TV van were smashed, dozens of huge streetside planters were flipped over and some bus shelters were damaged or destroyed.

Most of the celebration was trouble-free, though it left behind a trail of broken bottles, overturned garbage bins and piles of other trash on the streets.

Just your usual hi-jinks. Nothing to see here.

And the portent?

What the hell kind of celebration will happen next Tuesday night if the Most High Lord Obama wins? You can guess that last night's mini-riot will be magnified in Philadelphia...and repeated in every inner city/Democrat stronghold in the nation.

But more importantly, what will happen if the Messiah doesn't win? Something tells me the hi-jinks will tend to move to other less urban areas.

Of course, nothing will likely happen. However, I guess I'll visit the gun store. I'm a little low on 9mm ammo.
