God bless this individual. I'm afraid to leave my office with these self-rightous hacks bitching about everything today.

The offending bike:

Surely he will be our new president.

@Serolf Divad:

I would have thought it was more like this:

Oh, Carlin. Riding on a fucking toy, indeed.

I think we should all aim for thirty feet up in the fuckin' air.

A splendid show of Yes We Can spirit. The hero's choice of a small, red car clearly confirms him as an Obama supporter.

For the sake of political balance, we should however note that if the protestors had chosen a much heavier obstacle to block the road then its removal would typically have required the concerted action of a larger vehicle-load of bluecollar Clinton supporters, who also tend to be more experienced at accomplishing such tasks than drivers of small red cars.

The disproportionate attention given by the mainstream media to this one individual is breathtaking, especially as he would probably not even be on the streets at 3 a.m.

Samaritans are an actually ethnic/religious group who claim to be the real descendents of the Jews of ancient Israel. They were hated by the Roman because the Romans hated Jews and hated by the Jews because they claimed the Jews were frauds. So the modern day equivilent of the Good Samaritan would be like the Good Illegal Gay Mexican or something. You can't say Brave Samaritan then it sounds like you're talking about a member of the minority group who is brave. You have to say the whole "Good Samaritan" thing for it to be correct.

I'm a dick.

Fascist!

Hm, no, wait, a Fascist would throw the bike down some stairs. (At least that's what I'd do.)

Reactionary!

@TheSecretaryofFunk: But a technically correct dick.

You know I hate the war and want our troops out of there as much as anybody else. But you put a bike in front of my car and chances are it won't be ridable anymore after I run it over.

Wonkette ... Why did you imply this man any such feesance as some kind of hero and/or good samaritan? Obviously, this guy is a pro-establishment bicycle noodge. He should stay in his 4x4 tin-topped hut wher Halliburton delviers him daily mushrooms and bottled water, and no hippies live within a mile of his ever important, 1991 Honda Accord. At least, that's how I picture him...

Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
