They did show a small portion of metesky's interview on Channel 5; both channels broadcast simultaneously so we're not sure if he was on the other one-we were bouncing back and forth.

Channel 5 did show us pointing and laughing uproariously at the enemy.

Unfortunately, as mentioned, we were enroute to an afternoon of painting and had on our painting clothes, looking like we had just crawled out of a dumpster.

What the heck, it was spontaneous - and a lot of fun!

Hey ozone1, how about their Augusta thing on October 26? FreepMail us if you can make it, OK?

Way downeast kudos to you. (Although, technically, I'm against the proposed war on Iraq. But I really admire your spririt, anyway.) So why does a town the size of Bangor only have one post office? That could explain the dour look on the face of the nose-haired Aussie-hatter. I think he's a professional stander-arounder at the post office. We may have seen him once while Christmas shopping down there.....

That qualifies as a victory. The Left is never wounded until you laugh at it.....

The main post office is in the Federal Building; the city is dotted with branches located in places like the local grocery store right around the corner from me - you can buy stamps, send mail, ship packages, etc.

And buy fried chicken and sandwiches at the same time.

And thanks for your reply.

I think we all recognize the enemy, regardless.

It's our greatest weapon. They'll be blindsided by it every time. Irony escapes them.

From your link:

A mix of peace activists, anarchists, veterans, children, and students, the protestors performed a puppet skit (featuring a three headed monster representing Osama Bin Laden, George Bush, and Saddam Hussein) before the group took to the streets in chanting, drumming, music-making, dancing, and singing.

Really, does it get any funnier than this?

Osama bin Laden, George Bush and Saddam Hussein (leaving aside the drumming and stuff).

These people are so confused that in the not so recent past, they would have brought to the emergency room for experiencing a bad acid trip.

What is it with them that they don't understand the simple concept of THEY WANT TO KILL US?

"At least two people were seriously beaten and thirteen arrested at a peaceful anti-war protest in Portland this Thursday."

They don't sound too peaceful to me.

The old farts preach "peace" while pushing the young ones out in front to take the punches.

Saw that in Bangor today, they had a young girl just out of the Barbie Doll stage yelling into the microphone about how she was representing everyone her age.

It's a childish outlook on life they have and even they, though they won't admit it, know they have to use innocents to advance their cause. They can't recruit other adults, who've left them in the dust.

Congrats on your 1st Freep.

Aren't these characters a load of fun?Now it's just finding when they ooze together and meeting them everywhere they go.

Madame, I fear you were too harsh on these radicals. Perhaps their energies could be harnessed as a tourist attraction.

"Hey kids, here's what your Mom and Dad Looked like in the '60's!"

Since coastal Maine is already a theme park, how about getting some of these dollars toward the middle of the state?

Minuteman FReepin'

Can I steal use that?

We were dressed sloppy, with old paint spattered work clothes on. Next time proper planning calls for maybe a sweater and tie and signs of our own, and handouts or something.

Hell, I'd even shave if'n I wasn't afraid my dentures would stick out a mile.

Congratulations and thanks for your efforts. Two upright citizens making an effort can make a difference.

An inspiration for us all.
