POINT REYES STATION, Calif., Nov 16, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Some women are baring it all to protest the possibility of war in Iraq.

Fifty women in California took off all their clothes earlier this week and spelled out the word "peace" on a baseball field just north of San Francisco.

Seventy-two-year-old artist Donna Sheehan said she organized the protest to convey the desperation that she and other women feel about going to war.

She called her friends, and they called their friends - and soon they were ready to pose for a local photographer.

The women aren't exactly sure what to do with the picture.

They've all signed documents allowing their images to be sold, with proceeds going to the peace movement.

My constipated beagle would know exactly what to do with it...

And now for a conservative pause that refreshes...

(My apologies, but I find this very helpful in clearing my mind of thoughts of hairy pits, cellulite, saggers, lack of exercise and extreme body odor.)

LOL, this will not change my pro-action stance on Iraq, the war on terror, etc, but however, it is what Buford T. Justice called an "attention getter".....

[Deb]

I hate this crap. Why don't men ever protest nude?

[Normally a Lurker]

A political comment on Bush?

It's more like what happens "when bush goes anti-bush"

You saying you want to see some nude male hippies, Deb? ;)

They forgot their luggage.

[desertcry]

I hope they all have medical insurance.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Can't. It's football, hockey and basketball season. We have better things to do.

Are you sure they didn't spell "PIECE"?

Oh, I'm so ashamed! My mind must be in the gutter!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

How much money did they make before they got up?

[kcar]

Are they lesbians? If not, what did they tell their husbands?

I hate this crap. Why don't men ever protest nude?

We don't have as many "attributes" and besides, all you would see, would be Clintons, Gores, Gephardts. Don't you think that would be kind of a freak show?

Can 'ya get her and fifty of her friends to do a peace protest? I might turn liberal yet.

I can guess what these women look like, and i will gladly pass on the pictures.
