Snoopy's gonna get 'bird doo' from all those Eagles above him, lol.

[devolve]

Snoopy is looking for all the rest of the beagles!

Snicker, the 'B' rated Eagles Beagle dancer.

I just had to slip a subliminal graphic pun in there!

[devolve]

Wow!

What's the delay setting on that!

[potlatch]

I think I made it 4 frames. The first seemed darker when I first was making it then I faded out the color on the next two and than a blank TPBG for the fourth.

Wish I'd made it a lot larger but thought I might put it on graphics.

Thanks for the ping!

BTW, did anyone see any elected DC politician at the rally standing in support of our veterans and our troops?

AMEN! Thank you!! I was wondering ahead of time if any congress person (senate's a lost cause) would have cojones to be present at the Gathering of Eagles. Okay, I wasn't there either but I'm way on the opposite coast. For "elected officials" the location was quite convenient.... Nada that I know of.

[devolve]

It's a good one

Trying to think of how to use it - somehow

[potlatch]

I thought of doing a series of gifs with some appearing and others disappearing but it would take a lot of frames.

Would be neat to see, especially if there was some text with each describing 'something'.

[devolve]

Good thoughts

Maybe limit the loops too

Final frame might have a simple message and a few images

[potlatch]

Yes the whole thing has to have a message, some meaning. You will have to think of something to try.

...in one final act of “resistance” before vacating the bridge, one of them burned an American flag, to the cheers of all the rest. This incident went unreported in all of the mainstream media, despite the presence on the bridge of numerous journalists and photographers.

Walking home, I reflected on what the antiwar movement has degenerated into -- a squabbling collection of aging socialists, pro-Palestinian militants, and cowardly anarchists. The Vietnam vets -- who were there just to protect our monuments and show support for the troops -- had a surprising effect on the protestors. “Fight back! Fight back!” was one of the protestors’ slogans. But it was all talk. When confronted by people who actually fought and bled for their country, the protestors grew sheepish and embarrassed -- I would even say humiliated.

Fantastic article... don't miss this one! Thanks so much for the ping, NautiNurse.

Great synopsis of the failed efforts of the leftist terrorist supporting commies

Thanks for the ping IT

[devolve]

Have to storyboard it I'd say

I'll have to give it some thought

[CyberAnt]

I certainly hope so!

...their presence seemed to surprise the handful of Chinese tourists snapping photos in the area.

This one caught my eye. As I have yet to see my ugly mug in any of the online pics, i do remember that we (my select group of ugly vet bikers) did spend about 10 mins joking about oriental tourists after one motioned at us to pose.

50 years and they all still have and wear the same cameras and still take a slow picture! (Nothing moving, they like things that are stationary)

So we all jiggled in place. :-)

“Fight back! Fight back!” was one of the protestors’ slogans.

WTF? Color me head scratchin' How does the lyric of that tune go? Oh, yeah: "War, what's it good for? Absolutely nothing."

How many times they listen to that during the protest, and all the while they're marching against war they're chanting "Fight back?" Huh. I'm certain it makes sense in a pacifist's mind.

It would've been interesting to see them "fight back" on the riot gear-cops, or the not so riot-geared bitting-at-the-chomp-hungry-for some peacenik-meat vets, what were they going to do "bleed on 'em?"

Good thing they called it a draw, lest the vets and cops would've suffered even more casualties and victims of even more egregious tauntings.
