OMG! (none / 1)

I absolutely love that that dickhead Bush is saying about free speech in AMerica as they drag that woman away. These three people are my heroes. Thanks for sharing this.

Re: OMG! (4.00 / 2)

Yeah, they're pretty courageous considering the possibilities. You can be sure that Bush wasn't so casual about being called a war criminal when out of sight of the crowd and the media. I'll bet he lost his tiny little mind over it.

You know, I'm planning on getting down to DC for the FISA capitulation. I've been searching for any kind of organized protest but coming up empty. As cynical as I've become and as low an opinion as I have of American's desire or willingness to resist the assault on them, I'm still somewhat stunned to find nothing in the way of formal opposition anymore. It's disheartening. Still, as easy as it might be to throw up my hands and retreat back within my own tiny world I'm going anyway. If for no other reason, I need to be able to live with myself and I couldn't if I said nothing at all. I only wish I had half the courage those people in the video exhibited.

Peace

speaking up has its consequences but not speaking up has even more. Wish I were close enough to join you but with airfare over a thousand from where I live that is impossible. Give em hell.

I've gotta say, it was a bold move for them to use this particular spokesman... :P

No ordinary chip indeed.

Re: Open Thread (none / 0)

I've been trying to watch my chip eating (which means I guess I should be eating them in front of a mirror). I would go for those salt and vinegar ones from Trader Joe's, along with their blue cheese and walnut dip, and a six of cold beer. And something on TV.
