Somebody bring an organ! Batter up!
BTW, that "Batter up" was not a threat of violence against the Code Pinkos, I am a man of peace and I'll whomp anyone who says different! ;-)
D.C. Chapter mega-ping!
Triple-header Weekend ping and echo.
I'm going to try to get to Saturday's event. Barring any unforeseen problems, I will be at Sunday's. See you then!
Sounds like a plan. Best of luck to all.
See you in front of the Washington Hilton on Saturday! :-)

Another ping! ;-)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
God Bless you sir. I wish I could attend this---please accept my apollogies. You have been a tireless warrior for years now. Thanks.

What: "Mission Not Accomplished" Theater and Parade
Who: Victims and opportunists of Bush's criminal war, AND Peace Activists
Where: Lafayette Park and around the White House
When: May 1st, 1 to 3 p.m.
March with Bush as he leads a quirky parade of those who during this criminal war and occupation have gained - war profiteer, puppet Iraqi official, Osama Bin Laden, etc., and those who have lost - US soldier and Iraqi police, Iraqi woman, civilian casualty, member of the press, US citizen, torture victim, unemployed Iraqi, etc. during this criminal war and occupation. We'll gather at Lafayette Park, listen to Bush's delusional sound bites and then speak truth to his mis-use of power. Come as one of his collaborators or one of his casualties, and don't forget to bring a kazoo or your noise maker of choice for the parade around the White House.
Then change into your pink and join us for the next logical step - Stop the Next War Now!
What: A Party to launch CODEPINK' s latest book: Stop the Next War Now! Effective Responses to Violence and terrorism
When: Sunday, May 1st, 4 to 6 p.m.
Where: Mimi's American Bistro
2120 P Street, NW (near Dupont Circle)
Who: Helen Thomas, Phyllis Bennis, Andy Shallal and CODEPINK Co-founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans and Gael Murphy and the wonderful men and women for Peace.
It was nice to see Nofel again and meet his son Amar (hope I spelled their names correctly). They were an invaluable addition to our FReep yesterday. Code Pinko Queen Medea Benjamin was over there in her burka labelling herself as "an Iraqi citizen". Nofel pointed out that he is a genuine Iraqi citizen, and he is one of millions of Iraqis who is thankful that President Bush and our military freed 25 million Iraqi citizens.
Our unwavering chant, as we faced the Code Pink commies, led by Doctor Raoul and tgslTakoma (using Raoul's world's largest bullhorn): "8 million Iraqis gave you guys the finger!" (meaning the Purple Finger of Freedom) The DC Chapter FReepers had created foam "hands" that some of us wore, proudly displaying a purple finger.
I was so enthused by the many passers-by (mostly tourists taking pics of the White House, then us) who sided with us, especially the young dad holding his baby who came over to talk to us when our FReep got started. He told Kristinn and Raoul that he is in the military and just got home from serving several months in Iraq. He was thanking US for being out there yesterday. Good heavens... I made sure I said 'thank you' to him for HIS service to our country. What an honor... I feel so unworthy of these brave guys.
Although yesterday and Saturday night's WH Correspondents Assoc. dinner FReep was fun, we realize that you - tgslTakoma, Kristinn, Doctor Raoul and other DC Chapter FReepers who regularly plan and execute these rallies - usually face FAR more hostile situations in DC with these commies, and we again THANK YOU for being out there on the front lines for us. Yesterday's Code Pinko FReep was most certainly a "cakewalk" due to your unrelenting efforts over the past several years to counter their poisonous anti-American messages. They are definitely losing steam! :-)
