ghesselberg@madison.com The anti-war movement in Wisconsin is alive and expecting a busy weekend, if the schedule of vigils and pickets, rallies and gatherings everywhere from Hayward to West Bend to the Wisconsin Dells is any indication. While the efforts of various anti-war groups have not drawn the sort of large demonstrations against the Vietnam War witnessed in Madison in 1969-70, that does not mean the "movement" doesn't exist. It is there, just making its point in a different context, suggested Joseph Elder, a longtime advocate for peace and a UW-Madison professor of sociology. The Madison Area Peace Coalition, for example,...

3/7/2006 - KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. (AFPN) -- After the devastation from Hurricane Katrina left the base and the surrounding area in dire straits, the community desperately needed help to recover.

"Venezuela, by sending heating oil free of charge for poor and homeless people and at very low prices for those that can pay, is giving a great example of cooperation and solidarity with the American people; and the whole world is bearing witness to it," said the outstanding scholar, historian and university professor Noam Chomsky during a presentation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The event brought together professors, researchers, politicians, scholars, journalists, and social leaders from that city.

Here is a link to pictures of today's rally in New York in front of the Danish Consulate near the U.N. The pictures are really interesting despite the fact that they really tried to stress non violence (for example, the sign that says "RESPONSIBLE EDITOR MUST BE PUNISHED" did not specify Sharia law and call for his tongue to be cut out...) The really seems to have been co-sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. (Ramsey Clarke's outfit) A.N.S.W.E.R.'s speakers were inciteful, saying the cartoons printed in those newspapers were not only a provaction, that publication itself was an act of war. There were...

Bush's State of the Union, indistinguishable in style and substance, than the tedious preamble certain to precede next week's Super Bowl XL (Go Seahawks!), a momentary blimp in the pallid farce passing as analysis for the media corpse these sad days: "Cindy Sheehan has been arrested!"

For protests on Jan 31st, if they are protesting during the State of the Union, we can set up sound systems and blare the State of the Union address at the hippies. We can call it "Drown out the hippies" . You will see below that the hippies plan to "Drown out" Bush's State of the Union Address in town square. We will reverse it, and Drown their anti-Bush rants with the State of the Union address! It will be funny to see their reaction to this. Be aware of local noise ordnances before doing this, however. This is seperate...
