Little bit snowy and blowy out there this morning. No big deal, ordinarily, but as mild as it’s been here this year, it’s kinda nice to get something a bit more seasonable.

This shit’s gotta stop. Ordinarily, I’m somewhat dubious as to the efficacy of demonstrations, but the one coming up next weekend is a chance to provide political cover to our “representatives” to cut off the funding for this escalation, and to stop the madness. It’s more than cover. It’s a way to show these people that there will be consequences to defying the will of the people. I won’t be in DC next week, because somebody has to stay here and take care of the animals, but Granny and Junior will be there. If you can’t make it, then there’s probably something going on close to you, so get out there and make your voice heard. This is a chance to do more than bitch. And, for once, I think it can really make a difference – not in influencing dubya, ‘cuz he doesn’t give a shit. But in providing a little bit of a backbone for our congress critters.
