Most random "Tea Party" protest sign

Who knew that the political right had it in for late antique and medievalist manuscript commentators?

I mean, okay, scholiasts get really pedantic, and they write all over the margins, but I hadn't realized they were such a major political force. The one on the right is similarly difficult to comprehend.

This kind of stuff makes me want to organize protests against the Joker's reign of terror, or something, and then see how many people actually believe he's out there.

Wow. Proving again that really, if there's ONE THING you're going to proofread, perhaps your huge protest sign should be that thing.

...I wonder what she thought she meant.

not to be doubly pedantic, but i've never seen scholiast used for high or late medieval commentaries. (maybe it's only used for medieval commentaries on classical texts, which i haven't looked at, though)
