Heh, heh. Not the most flattering picture of me. And that Post article dissed my glasses, which I haven't yet been able to upgrade to something sexier and more current.

There is much power in being a radical who looks normal. You get to hear things from people because they assume that you are just another white middle class guy. And it's easy to infiltrate and go places you aren't supposed to go. And it's really funny when the cops get all focused on the anarchists dressed in black, or the younger activist types, while the anarchist librarian sits on the planter next to them, listening to their conversations, and doing some easy research.
