"I'D LOVE TO BE THERE...BUT I'M DEAD."

“I WISH I COULD BE THERE…BUT I’M DEAD.”

The OC Labor Federation is organizing a May Day rally in front of Anaheim City Hall.

It will start at 11:00 a.m., presumably start of with some rip-roaring speeches about sharing the wealth, and then a march to La Palma Park ending at 12:30 p.m. Here’s the flyer.

May Day — or International Worker Day — was established in 1891 by the Second Socialist International.

At its May Day rally, OCLF will raise fists in support of “equality, fairness, respect and dignity for all workers and a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million aspiring Americans.” I didn’t realize “aspiring Americans” had become a synonym for illegal immigrant. That raises the art of the euphemism to an entirely new level.

You can bet your bottom dollar UNITE-HERE will be there, and OCCORD, and Lorri Galloway and various and sundry agitators also pressing for single-member council districts, a “living wage,” a retention ordinance, a civilian police oversight board, and probably a gate tax and ban on circus animals.
