I had a huge grin on my face when I was getting arrested yesterday. I have received a lot of flak for smiling. Apparently I am not supposed to smile, but I had some really good reasons for doing so.
First of all, I was having fun. I was with a group of good-humored, cheerful, happy people. We were singing old protest songs and old Sunday school songs and clapping. I felt I had to be cheerful to set the tone. We didn't want any trouble or to do anything non-peaceful. Secondly, when I got arrested and the officers lifted me out I was afraid that America would see my underwear and that tickled me.
That's...pretty weird.
But as for her first reason, I have no doubt that she was having a good time. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the insincere melancholy mugging she takes to whenever there's a camera pointed at her.
For example:
Now contrast those with the picture in this post taken just a little while later.
This woman is a political opportunist, pure and simple.
