Here’s the CNN story about today’s Virtual March: CNN.com – Activists hold ‘virtual march’ on Washington – Feb. 26, 2003 And here’s a powerful quote from Feinstein (I tried to call her, but was only able to get through to Tom Lantos): “I’ve learned when they get up over 30,000 to 40,000 from California, then […]

As I mentioned on Monday, today is the Virtual March on Washington. And it appears to be a huge success: There are so many people calling that many others, including me, cannot even get through to my senators. This real-time “antiwar room” is very cool: MoveOn: Demoacracy in Action

“Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”
Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 · Comments Off on “Another, ‘Nother, ‘Nother Last Chance”
In his latest dimwitted comments, Bush said: First of all, you know, size of protests — it’s like deciding, `Well, I’m going to decide policy based upon a focus group.’ The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon, in this case, the security of the people. Translation: I don’t give a shit […]

The People Have Spoken
Tuesday, February 18th, 2003 · Comments Off on The People Have Spoken

This was news to me. I find it absolutely absurd, ridiculous, and all the while hilarious that pieces of such an important document (United Nations Security […]
