Here is the front and back of my protest sign for today! Woohoo! On the bottom of the “Bring the Troops Home…Now” side, it reads…..(my blog address) and then, “When the statue of Saddam was taken down & the US flag went up that was the moment we started an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation! Shameful!!!!”.
Pretty good, huh? I hope you all get out and hit the streets today. I’m really looking forward to it and will be bringing my camera to record what I see. Well, of course I will be! 
Rep. Alan Grayson's response to Sarah Palin saying he should be voted out of office:
"I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them"

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
perfect > stay warm
I will Smoke.

Actually, I have to put a blanket over my couch because of my flea-bitten dog…Jasper. LOL It’s my couch you’re looking at, Smoke. Sorry!

Enjoy actual being with others who care. I wish I could join you.
A recent encounter on an icy roof between the top of a ladder and my chest (a fractured sternum hurts!) is keeping me from the march and rally today in Albuquerque. This is the first one I’ve missed since we invaded Iraq. C-span is covering live the rally in Washington DC. Incredible speakers! Among the many, Susan Sarandon laid it down, including facts that slam We Have To Fight Them There So We Don’t Have To Fight Them Here…the war is here, she said, just ask the broken returning soldiers and their families. Medea Benjamin of Code Pink called on women of the world to rise up and oppose this war and future wars. I’m digging Code Pink’s ralling cry:
Women Of The World Say Pull Out Now!
Great signs!
Bless you Kay!
Lots of Impeach signs at the DC rally.
Another one: Bush, Go Surge Yourself!
C-SPAN is going to re-air the DC rally later this afternoon. no specific time was given.
What a blast I had!!! I have pictures people and will get them up as soon as I can!!!
Thank Gaaaaaaaaaaaaawd for C-SPAN, Smoke! I’ll be watching it since I missed it earlier.
Hi Kay, I enjoyed meeting you at the rally this afternoon at Monument Sq, Portland. You had a great sign! Loved your enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing so much good energy and some of your very interesting life story with me…. And thanks again for all the good work your doing in the cause for truth, social justice and the real American Way.
Below is a quote from Bill Maher which you may have already seen. Anyway I thought you and others may, (like me), find it a good read.
Cheers, Duginmaine
Bill Maher’s closing–presented as an open message to George Bush in deep tones of mock-serious. Here it is:
“Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you any more. There’s no more money to spend–you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard’s bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one’s speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
Now it’s time to do what you’ve always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It’s time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man?
Now I know what you’re saying: there’s so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don’t. I know, I know. There’s a lot left to do. There’s a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote. But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You’ve performed so poorly I’m surprised that you haven’t given yourself a medal. You’re a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes. On your watch, we’ve lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you’re just not lucky. I’m not saying you don’t love this country. I’m just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side. So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: ‘Take a hint.’ “
Go get em Kay and may Bush and Cheney be haunted by you everyday until they enter prison.
[...] My protest sign for today…. [...]
Hi Doug! So happy to see you here!! Well, I totally enjoyed meeting you too and if the weather had been, say, a blistering 93 degrees today, I would have stayed out there for 3 more hours!! I know you would have stayed with me because you have the same feelings in your heart that I do about what has transpired over the last six years. We Americans are the only ones who can save the REPUBLIC. We must stand up and protect her because the assholes in the White House surely won’t!!!
I hope others who wrote down my blog address come visit it today! I would love to have a group of Mainers to hash out things with. There are some online, but I want more!! Okay, I could be a little self-centered at the moment.
Not really…I just love groups of people sharing their outrage together!!
Please stay in touch Doug, okay?
Larry, I am going to haunt the bastards and drive them into a corner and then pull out my trusty, very large, can of RAID insect spray. That ought to do the trick!! LOL
Oh and Doug…..love the Maher quote and I never get sick of reading it. He’s so right about everything.
Signs today at the protest:
QUAGMIRE ACCOMPLISHED
STOP FUNDING THE WAR!
THE WHITE HOUSE LIES TO YOU
Silk, thanks for stopping by! By the way, I hope you have a quick recovery (ouch!) and in the meantime, we will be your voice, okay? Sounds good to me! The only way I won’t be speaking out is if a rare meteorite hits my house and kills me where I sit. LOL That’s pretty much the only thing that will stop me at this point.
So glad you went out and protested. GOOD FOR YOU KAY!!
Wish I could have been there, but had 4 kids home today.
Love & PEACE,
xo
Lyd
Lydia, one of those kids your husband? LOL
Lydia, it was really fun to be with people of like mind. Wonderful!!!!
Love and Peace to you. xxoo
