The link to the Nation isn't working. Do you have to be a member?

First one, you have to go to the next page at the link at the botttom, the second one is a "print view" of the entire article.

Thanks.

Thanks. Wish it would pull up with a link because I would put it in the research room.

ahem!!! That's Calypso Louie!

Trying not to laugh here; but YES -- they do resemble a "circus" very often. It makes me wonder what a new age Barnum and Baily might be currently premiering in those select tents. Belly dancers? Not likely. There'd be new age channelers like Calypso. Three-breasted ladies. Transvestites with 5 hands. etc.

I think the left has no idea as to how they appear.

See new thread: Berkeley Cancels Veteran's Day Event (Because Anti-War Cindy Sheehan Pal Wanted to Speak

--snip:

A Veterans Day commemorative has been canceled after disagreements over whether an anti-war activist should speak at the event.

Bill Mitchell, a co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace along with "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan, was scheduled to speak. But some veterans objected, saying the day was supposed to be a nonpartisan memorial, and the local Disabled American Veterans chapter threatened to pull out.
