July 4, 2008San Francisco, California Wow, even days later, I am still so giddy I can hardly type!Have you ever taken a bong hit that melts away the worries of this world in a euphoric wave of Zen-like contentment? How about the intense pleasure of listening to your favorite Grateful Dead song while enjoying the aforementioned bodacious botanicals, followed by the exquisite pleasure of biting into a chewy, warm brownie right from the oven? While most enlightened liberals would consider these things life's ultimate pleasures, they pale in comparison to sitting at the feet of The Master and drinking in the sweet nectar of hope!Senator Barack Obama's San Francisco campaign stop...

September 8, 2006 Berkeley, California Thank God I was able to thwart Kareem/Scooter's suicide doll-bomb attack on the "It's A Small World" ride at Disneyland. Choosing not to expose myself, I simply replaced the explosives with Play-Do in the doll's bomb vests. As it turned out, Kareem and his little friends still had a good time at Disneyland even without blowing anything up, although one of them fell out of the boat while placing the dolls and ended up with a nasty infection from the water. Good. A few days later, I had a very bad feeling in my...

August 18, 2006 Crawford, Texas I received an invitation to join Our Suffering Mother Of Perpetual Peace And Publicity Sheehan (OSMOPPAPS) at the new Camp Casey down in Crawford, Texas. Apparently Cindy purchased some acreage not far from Chimpy McHitler's ranch and she was anxious for me to see it and join her reinvigorated peace vigil, so I hopped a plane for Texas. In all truthfulness, I was slightly underwhelmed by the new spread. For one thing, it's not that close to McHitler's ranch. For another, it's pretty scrubby land, dotted with only a few crappy tents, several smelly Porta-Potties,...

June 23, 2006 Berkeley, California Okay, I'm out of my funk. Instead of reflecting on all that is going wrong in the world, my life coach told me to embrace all the positive things in my life, so I am. Probably the most fun I've had lately was at the anti-war/anti-Bush/anti-right-wing nude bike ride in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. When it comes to social change, few things are as dramatically effective as exposing one's naughty parts in public. As a regular "Breasts Not Bombs" protester, I can personally vouch for the power of exposed appendages and the socio-political...

June 16, 2006 Berkeley, California This whole week was a series of low blows to those of us who value peace, freedom, and justice. Every time I turned on the TV there was another depressing news story of Republicans running amok and it just made me want to puke! It was almost more than I could take. First of all, over in Iraq this Abu Musab al-Zarqawi guy gets brutally murdered by two 500-pound bombs dropped by a U.S. jet and the conservatives act like they just won the lottery. Where's the respect for human life? Where's the compassion? Where's...

May 5, 2006 Chicago, Illinois / Berkeley, California I guess my day started normally enough. I got up, woke the kids, fed the dog, and made breakfast. Scooter joined us at the table, said grace, quickly downed a cup of coffee and a piece of toast, then kissed the kids and me goodbye before bolting for the door, late as usual. While the kids brushed their teeth, I cleaned up the dishes while keeping an eye on the clock. I vowed to myself that we would all start getting up 15 minutes earlier so we could enjoy more time together...

April 21, 2006 Los Angelas, California Hi my name is Scooter. I am a frend of Peace and pretty much coordnate all our protests and I also do all our signs and artwork. (I have a art degree) Peace went to Hawai to visit her sister so she told me to write the report this week. About the only interesting thing I did was help my good frend Pepe so I will write about that. Please keep in mind I am a artist not a writer! Pepe called Monday and asked me if I wanted to help him do a...

March 17, 2006 Hollywood, California As most of you know, Scooter had gone from a regular guy to superstar literally overnight. After shacking-up with the well-known producer who gave him his first major film role in the gay cowboy film, "Home On The Strange," Scooter then went on to a series of gay and straight relationships with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. I couldn't pick up a tabloid without seeing his face on the cover with his love-interest-of-the-moment. In no time, Scooter was commanding tens of millions of dollars a film and his name was on the lips...

February 17, 2006 Corpus Christi, Texas How could I stay at home after one of the most powerful and evil men in the world goes on a murderous rampage, indiscriminately shooting innocent civilians and quail? My assistant, Scooter, and I headed to Texas to protest bloodthirsty Dick Cheney, hunting, and guns - three things that make me crazy. We planned to do some "guerrilla theater" with Scooter playing a quail and the guy who gets shot, and me playing the VP, wearing a Cheney mask I had leftover from another protest. Scooter modified a chicken costume into a pretty good...

December 30, 2005 Berkeley, California Happy Holidays everyone! I had the family over for Christmas: my brother Jerry, his wife Pam, their three kids, and Aunt Vera and Uncle Carl. Also, my ninety-year-old grandmother Edna brought her new boyfriend, Harlan, who I guess to be somewhere between ninety and five hundred years old. Of course, Edna brought Penny, her fat, gassy, and blind seventeen-year-old beagle who, as usual, got just inside the living room before pooping all over the place. My sister Sunshine from Hawaii couldn't make it but sent some nice gifts and a batch of baked goodies. I...

December 17, 2005 Undercover Last Tuesday I agreed to join my activist friend Nate and a couple of his friends on a mission to eliminate overtly religious symbolism from public places. Our target was a large Catholic church that was prominently displaying a nativity scene on its front lawn. This church was making people look at something potentially damaging to their sensitivities and almost forcing them to become religious. We figured we'd try to save the ACLU some money and take care of it ourselves. Our plan was to sneak in at night and remove the offending religious figures, leaving...

December 10, 2005 Undercover Having lost my soon-to-be-ex-husband to the Republicans, I decided to infiltrate their society with the intent of ultimately subverting it toward more noble, liberal ideals. I carefully executed my strategy. First, I purchased some new conservative clothes. Next, using my dog clippers and a couple of disposable razors, I shaved my armpits and legs for the first time in over 30 years and sold the sacks of hair to a company that makes wigs, netting enough money to pay for the clothes and also a DVD player I'd been wanting. Finally, I went to Macy's where...

September 29, 2005 Washington DC Our Washington peace protests are in high gear and Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) is receiving extensive news coverage. Finally our country is focusing again on important issues after being sidetracked by that stupid hurricane stuff. While I am a compassionate liberal and love all people, if I see one more person blubbering on TV about losing his house I’m going to puke! Don’t these people realize that we are protesting to SAVE THE WORLD? Do they even realize that Cindy, myself, and over 300 other peace patriots were imprisoned by this administration? HELLO? As a...

September 5, 2005 Berkley, California Hello all. As Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) has broken camp and hit the road on her bus tour, it was time for me to come home. I wanted to go along, but unfortunately the last bus available was needed for PMS’s makeup staff, publicist, agent, film crew, acting coach, and spiritual guide. Anyway, being back home isn’t so bad as there are many things I can do here to end this war, promote gay marriage, save our environment, promote reproductive rights, ban guns, eliminate illiteracy, stop nuclear proliferation, save the whales, outlaw SUVs, dismantle the...

September 10, 2005 Berkeley, California The hurricane disaster was just awful and I felt like I had to help. I spent last Friday packing a box with emergency goods for the Red Cross. I included some packs of raspberry kelp tea, a pair of sandals, some rice cakes, a macramé hanging candleholder, some incense, and a couple of Grateful Dead albums. Knowing I was helping someone start a new life made my spirits soar! On television I saw storm victims being transported to a local gymnasium and I felt moved to open my home to one of these poor people....

September 24, 2005 Washington DC Hello from enemy territory! I’m in Washington DC with Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) where earlier this week we protested at the White House. We marched down Pennsylvania Ave. singing songs of peace, some of us baring our breasts and genitals for peace, others doing bong hits for peace, and quite a few talking on cell phones for peace. Cindy had this great idea to write a letter to President Hayseed demanding the withdrawal of all American troops from all countries, disbanding the military, and prison sentences and sensitivity training for any Christian or Jew who...

Here's the new 'Peace Moonbeam' site with her "Reports From Camp Casey" as heard on the G. Gordon Liddy show: http://peacemoonbeam.com This stuff is funny! (unless you're a liberal!)
