The speakers had just finished lamenting recent acts of vandalism at military recruiting centers and had opened the floor to questions at the National Press Club when peace activist Tighe Barry jumped up, took off his shirt and revealed the pink military tunic he was wearing underneath.

Kristinn, Kevin, and all:
I have been too occupied to hit the site much in the past year-plus but I’m still viewing the grass from the blade, not root, end. I wanted to tell you guys that what you do is thoroughly appreciated.
