Big anti-war rally and march planned for today here. It’s supposed to be the biggest anti-war demonstration in these parts since the Vietnam War, and is sponsored by some 60 organizations throughout New York State. It’s supposed to be a beutiful day, weather-wise, so that ought to help the turnout, and there are supposed to be people coming from all over NY, and even places like Vermont and Massachusetts. We’ll see what happens, I guess. Later, after the rally and march, Scott Ritter is leading a discussion panel on “The Peoples’ Response to the Patreaus Report,” with Dahlia Wafsi, and Jimmy Massey. I don’t know that I’ll get to go to that. I feel bad enough about leaving the dog all alone for so long as it is.

It’s always fun to be amongst like-minded people, of course. And there are more and more people who realize what a mistake all of this was. Mostly because we’re not “winning,” of course. If this administration hadn’t been so incredibly inept at everything they’ve done (another reason why I don’t buy the controlled demolition or the Twin Towers theory; these clowns just don’t have the competence to pull it off), 70% of the people would be cheering things on, and we’d be in the minority. But I don’t really expect any of this to change the minds of the people in charge, and I’ve long since lost any hope that people marching in the streets would give the Democrats that much needed spine transplant.

I’d be quite happy to be wrong, though.

Enjoy you Saturday.
