Everybody wins.
So I missed the big event in San Francisco today due to other commitments. But I’ve been hearing things over the ether. I’ve heard that the protest groups say they succeeded by creating such a ruckus that Mayor Newsom and the Chinese organizers had to sneak the torch onto a completely new route (supposedly at the last minute). Fair enough. But then again, the Chinese government has a great photo-op courtesy, it seems, of Newsom and Co.: a pleasant jaunt through beautiful San Francisco, ending up at the Golden Gate Bridge. Everybody wins.
Except, maybe, for those people who wanted to see the torch, no matter what their political inclinations. The papers found a few of them, all disappointed.
Good hustle, everybody.
