March on Kennebunkport
We marched in Kennebunkport against the Iraq war today, in Bush’s back yard. Putin was down there for a sleepover. At least 3000 people showed up. I’m happy to report that the anti-war movement is alive and well again. Veterans for Peace were there in force. It was a beautiful sight to see. Here are photos.

good to see you people from vacationland are out & about (on a sunny day) giving the VP and his kooky prince a lil shit. too bad it's 5 and a half yrs. 2 late. like an a-rod homer in the 9th when the yanks are behind 11-2.
see this week's (july 9 issue) of the new yorker for a sweet editorial on the cheney presidency. it's fukin priceless... and scary.
but who cares? it's summer & the stock market is on the rise! yippee!!!
It's not too late. The war goes on; capital still runs the world. There’s an endless line of sponsored flunkies like these guys waiting for a turn. Besides, it’s fun, and it’s a kick to hang with people who haven’t given up.
See also the recent Washington Post series on Cheney’s role in crafting policies for the War on Terror, etc.

Scooter in '08!
I suggested the Post series before reading the New Yorker editorial, which turns out to be a summary of the Post series. Scary is right, esp. their description of Cheney's Vice Presidency as "a kind of rolling, slow-motion coup d’état."
it's highly unlikely, of course, but if anything is to change in the next 18 months, CHENEY MUST GO!
but really it's time to look to the future. take a look at obama. sure, he takes corporate dough like all these parasites, but he has also raised MILLIONS from individuals donating 10 and 20 bucks a pop. he appears to be a guy who is not particularly contentious and though competitive he understnds the art of cooperation.
if bush has taught us one thing it is this: it MATTERS who sits in the oval office.
obama also claims, if nominated, he will tell us his choices for top posts like VP, Defense, State, Treasury, CIA, FBI, etc.
