Think about it.
Medea's in Venezuela.
Gael's in Mali.
And you're here. Stuck with the Primate House.
And Diane Wilson, a brunette, is in jail.
Thank you for standing up to these pinkos.
I'm a pretty big guy. If I move off of their "zone" and they pull that crap on me, I would start hurting people to make that issue stop. These commies need put in their place.
First of all Allison this is NOT a blog...Free Republic is a discussion forum. And Allison I know you are reading this! .

The nightly vigil at Walter Reed Army Medical Center continues to
signal the late nightly arrivals of badly wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.
On Friday nights there is an abundance of traffic on Georgia Avenue and much support from those driving by. The vigil is a reminder of the devastating human cost of this war and deepens our resolve to bring it to an end as soon as possible. Please take the time and join our welcoming group. Bring friends, candles, a sign or a banner.
It is worth noting that many of the soldiers we have met so far do not support the war, but others do. Take the opportunity to hear their stories and share perspectives.

Second Monday 7pm
CODEPINK DC MONTHLY MEETING
Join us the Second Monday of every month to talk strategy, plan our events and actions and grow the women’s peace movement. Contact Allison Yorra: dc@codepinkalert.org or call 202-487-5112
Yawn...George Bush is scheduled to give his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 31. Another day, another spin job from the administration about how their policies are making things so much better for ALL Americans and for Iraqis, especially the women. We will be told that the folks handling reconstruction (Iraq and the Gulf Coast) are "doin' a heckuva job". He'll warn us that we need to be very afraid of future attacks and how his war on terror is making us safer.
What we won't hear about is the ILLEGAL domestic wiretapping program, the rampant Republican corruption and the quagmire that is Iraq. Doubtful that Bush will mention the ever growing number of people who think he should be impeached. But we will!!!
CODEPINK is organizing a People's State of the Union press
event (see below) that will lift your spirits and move you to action. Join Members of Congress Lynn Woolsey, John Conyers and Maxine Waters, Gold Star Mother Cindy Sheehan, whistleblower Ann Wright, political and economic expert John Cavanagh, New Orleans activist Malik Rahim as they speak the truth about our nation's policies and what we the people need to do to make real change possible.
On this particular day Americans deserve to hear the truth, not just about
the REAL state of our nation, but also the hopeful message about how
together WE can implement alternative policies to build a more humane and
secure world.
It seems NO ONE reads their little website of LIES (except for the same four people who seem to show up everywhere protesting against anything and everything George W. Bush/Republican/Conservative aka PRO AMERICAN). It must pay well to be a 24/7 protester these days (Code Pink/Global Exchange) since none of them seem to have REAL jobs...
Appeal to Our Vets and Active Duty Soldiers Inside Walter Reed
The Walter Reed Vigil is a very discreet, dignified project taking place for two hours each Friday evening between 7 and 9 pm. We want those who have paid a terrific price for their country to be kept close to our hearts and minds. We don't call for you to be honored with parades and flags; others will do that. We are calling on the country to honor its veterans, active duty, reserves, and National Guard, with full benefits, commitment to long-term health care, and an economy that will provide good jobs, hopefully union jobs.
We understand from talking to some of those inside Walter Reed and other soldiers, the importance of the bonds you have with the comrades still in the field. You worry about them; you pray for them. So do we-that is why we want them home again. Whether you agree with that solution for the situation we are in-or not-we hope you can come to trust our sincerity. We try to prove it with the consistency of our little vigil outside the main gate of Walter Reed. You proved your commitment to your brothers and sisters in arms and to your country. We stand by the main gate each Friday evening for just those two hours as a commitment to you, that we will not forget you, and we don't want the rest of the country forgetting you either.
NOW TODAY, there are some who are so unsure of their own position that they feel they cannot tolerate even our small, short, weekly vigil. These people wave the American flag but they have lost the essence of what it means. They say God Bless The Troops but they don't understand what it is that you and your comrades fought for, are fighting for. Their goal is to silence us, and what will they do then?
HOW DID it come to this? That a small, humble vigil of ten people or so, should turn into such a storm? What are we saying that gets them so angry?
Support Our Troops. Full Benefits for Our Vets. Bring the Troops Home.
PLEASE HELP US. If you believe we have a right to our simple vigil, if you can trust us not to ever do any of our veterans harm, please join us some time between 7 and 9 pm any Friday evening. Show the world that you don't believe in the lies told about us, that you believe in our right to have our vigil for our soldiers. Some of us are mothers of soldiers. Some are veterans. Some of us are simply citizens who want to do a little thing for people who have done so much for them.
Thank you.
Group thinks Bush is the real terrorist

People like her give me pause to wonder why I spent so many years protecting their right to free speech. But I suppose if you welded her mouth shut and cut off her arms then she would be a much more pleasant individual.
Once I went over to photograph my local useful idiots at their protest. Their leader came up to me and told me "You can't take our picture!!", to which I replied "Gee whiz, this looks like a public street corner to me" as I took her picture. She was really mad, but couldn't do a thing about it.
If they are harrassing you by getting in your face and interfering with you photo taking, they are breaking the law. It's called harrassment. Call the police next time and get them straitened out. You are free to take photos in a public place as long as you are not interefering with their right to protest.
Thanks for the photos, and keep up the good work.
In that case we know that Allison reads our blog.
HEY ALLISON! YOU ARE A TRAITOR!
Over here cb, he started it last night and it continues.
You're a better man than I.
I would be telling the Code Pink people all about the nice reeducation camp accomodations they might get if this WOT ever involves a nuclear attack on American soil.
Seriously. That is how I handled traitors when I still lived in the USA. I find it easier to live in Europe now where I don't really meet traitors.
Looks like it could be she-it to me.
Lock up your pots or hide the Bunny.
We talked about her and there's something about her that reminds the every guys of an ex-wife...
My Grinch costume and a sign, "Yorra Mean One, Allison"?
...sitting here in sunny but cold NM patiently waiting for pizza spring...
Bump!
All right. That is it. THis Friday, if someone can get me a ride down there, I am going to this Friday's rally. I am missing all of the fun!
