Michael Tisdale

The remarkable thing about running through downtown Miami at lunch hour in nothing but Nikes and a red, white and blue thong is how many people don’t notice.

They were talking on their phones; shuffling documents; concentrating on walking.

Not until he climbed the steps of the Miami-Dade Courthouse did a few lawyerly types point and smile at the nearly naked man. He was Michael Tisdale, a lumberjack hailing from the Redland, protesting the state of the nation.

This had nothing to do with his being a lumberjack.

Internet research had revealed what he took to be a sinister conspiracy of immense scale, linking the war in Iraq to the global military-industrial complex and profits for key figures in the office of the president of the United States, basically at the expense of young soldiers who are getting their arms and legs blown off on a daily basis, and nobody cares!

”I don’t get it,” Tisdale had said earlier over coffee at Diana’s, on Northwest First Street, clothed.
