Hope to see you Saturday as we answer ANSWER!

If ANSWER is the answer it must have been a stupid question.

I heard this morning (Saturday) as they were showing an anti-war speaker, Fox mentioned another ralley supporting the war to also be held. They said more on that later.

Both of these rallies were un-original and predictable -- with ideologues from both sides regurgitating their pet clichés.

As expected, the "anti-war" crowd converted the rally from a principled opposition to the warfare state into one of bashing the Bush administration, engaging in ad hominem attacks, lacing public discourse with profanity, promoting irrelevant "causes" and otherwise missing the boat. This group persuaded no one today ... and may very well have turned some people off.

On the Right, you also had your share of sloganeering, clichés and ad hominem attacks, with protest signs demonstrating the usual confusion over what it means to be a patriot and an American.

On net, nothing changed today ... except a few people getting satisfaction from thinking all their brow beating and righteous indignation actually accomplished something meaningful.

But what we lack in numbers, we will more than make up for in intelligence, spirit, good humor, clean hair, teeth.

Come on! this is A.N.S.W.E.R. were talking about, could we set the bar a bit higher. I've seen winos with better hygiene and more inteligence!
