Salon's War Room has an amusing post about the trials and tribulations of being a Nader petition signature gatherer in Boston on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

A few feet away Elizabeth approaches an unassuming 30-something man dressed in jeans, a T-shirt and a sun hat.

"Would you like to sign a petition to put Ralph Nader on the ballot in Massachusetts?"

The man's face instantly darkens. "Yeah, right," he sneers, and turns to stride off. "Sign me up to kick that fuckhead in the ass."
