Peoples' Health Dept. Symbolically Cites IMF for Metaphorical Health Code Violations

Non-mass mobe drags out old A16 puppets in order to allegorically shut down IMF. IMF rent-a-pigs match street theater participants one-to-one. Visiting delegates stricken with deep-down lack of terror of no confrontational mass protest whatsoever. Special guest star Thomas Friedman plugs his current tome, "It's A Flat, Flat, Flat, Flat World".

"Like Seattle Never Happened" was the apparent theme at this year's small and intimate non-mass mobilization. The look of a hunted animal crossed the faces of no delegates at all as they alighted from limos and vans and sauntered casually into the building.
The complete non-filling of the streets by the roiling masses of students, workers and vanguardists acting in solidarity to jam the machinery of corporate rule at this spring's meetings was awe-inspiring in no way, shape or form.
A strategic advantage of no kind whatever was gained by demonstrating to the police and private security our ability to never at any time pose any threat to the meeting.
