Washington, D.C.At just past noon on Wednesday, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the Bring Them Home Now tour were stopped by a pair of squad cars two blocks from the U.S. Capitol by members of the Capitol police force. Officers explained that they wanted to use bomb-sniffing dogs to inspect the caravan of three RVs and several cars.
The officers said it was standard practice to inspect large vehicles in the area. RVs arent allowed on Capitol Hill, one said. Thats standard procedure. Any trucks that come on Capitol Hill are stopped and turned around. Campers arent allowed at all, the officer said, unless theyve been previously authorized.
Officers told the peace activists they couldnt park at the Capitol because they dont have the proper permits. Sheehan and company then began preparing to make the rest of the trek on foot. Awaiting them near the Capitol steps were a crowd of television cameras for a scheduled noon press conference.
Earlier this week in New York Citys Union Square park, police officers unplugged Sheehans microphone, saying she didnt have a proper permit for that either.
People with Bring Them Home Now seemed unfazed. Its always something, said Stacy Bannerman of Military Families Speak Out, whose husband spent a year fighting in the Sunni Triangle. Its just part of the deal.
The conference is being held by Sheehan and the others to announce their arrival in Washington and to kick off a weekend of resistance that is expected to include a march of 100,000 people and mass civil disobedience.
At 1:30 p.m., Sheehan and her allies plan to head to the White House, where theyll attempt to give President Bush a letter asking him to answer the question, What noble cause are our loved ones dying for?

"We would have had 100,000 people in NYC - but the fascist pig cops wouldn't let us have our loudspeakers!"
Re post 11 ... absolutely great ... major ROFLMAO
Don't know if the dogs are trained to find drugs. These dogs are trained to find bombs. I think it depends on what chemicals they are subjected to in training them.
*snicker*
I hope Mr. Bannerman divorced her.
I know what you were referring to. Her line about it was that she finally said "Hey! You have a sweatball hanging off the end of your nose! What are you trying to do, make me sick or something?"
... I suspect they have a job ... their employer just might be some guy named ... Soros
A typical Democrat - the law doesn't apply to them.
Eve Ted Kennedys private ride got sniffed by the dogs until they realized his dog 'splash' went nuts when seeing the bomb detection dog so they just let him 'waddle' through. But they should have given some of sheehans' caravan wood shampoos just to be safe
Too bad they didn't have drug sniffing dogs. "Sheeman busted for drugs" would have been a great headline.
100,000? Just another delusion. I'd be surprised if they had 1000. Of course, the civil disobedience may draw a few extra wackos.
Cindie
Wel, Kerry started her on her 'Travelin Damnation Show',
and Soros has supplied all her top dollar media
consultants and handlers,...Moo-er, is using his
crushed soapbox, to spread her hate group surrenderist
screchings, David Duke and the Klan, Dirty Jessie, Al Sharpster, Loie FerretCon, are all giving her public
support, as well as the Socialist Gay Mafia Hollypuke
Perverts and the Music Inddustry, both pushing the
Thuged up Punk, Pervert & Drug addict baby killing
Slut 'Death Culture' of the Left..so..They
pretty much are all in behind her together....
You know..it occured to me what Sheehans crying
face reminds me of...a little 13 yr old slut,
furious at the "injustice" of being grounded,
and told she can not see her boyfriend again, by
her father, having been caught enjoying her
boyfriend finger her, for the second time.
..."Nazi Daddy!"
Ya beat me to it! Great minds...
looks like another hurricane is going to muzzle cindy's doodah again. Maybe she should get a clue? : )
"Matthew Fox developed the theology of Creation Spirituality as a way to integrate the wisdom of western spirituality and global indigenous cultures with the emerging scientific understanding of the universe and the creativity of art. Creation Spirituality has its roots in the earliest formulations of the Judeo-Christian wisdom tradition, celebrated by the mystics of this tradition ever since, especially in medieval Europe. Creation Spirituality thus provides a holistic perspective from which to address the critical issues of our times, including the revitalization of religion and culture, the honoring of the feminine, the celebration of hope, the promotion of social and ecological justice, and the promotion of interfaith understanding. In pursuing these goals, Creation Spirituality has sought to revitalize education, ritual, work and spirituality in the spirit of what Fox calls deep ecumenism.
"Wisdom University seeks to build on the curriculum related to Creation Spirituality developed by Fox over the past twenty eight years, as well as the graduate program in Indigenous Mind developed by Dr. Apela Colorado, a curator of indigenous traditions worldwide. Wisdom University also intends to deepen its exploration and pedagogy in the wisdom domain by further developing programs in all the major world traditions as well as what philosopher Peter Kingsley calls primordial wisdom.

You know, there's an old line about Washington
Politics, being the "Hollywood" for people too
ugly to make it in the movies or on TV.
