It&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;ll see what happens, I guess.  Later, after the rally and march, Scott Ritter is leading a discussion panel on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Peoples\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Response to the Patreaus Report,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with Dahlia Wafsi, and Jimmy Massey.  I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ll get to go to that.  I feel bad enough about leaving the dog all alone for so long as it is.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;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&#8217;re not &#8220;winning,&#8221; of course.  If this administration hadn&#8217;t been so incredibly inept at everything they&#8217;ve done (another reason why I don&#8217;t buy the controlled demolition or the Twin Towers theory; these clowns just don&#8217;t have the competence to pull it off), 70% of the people would be cheering things on, and <strong><em>we&#8217;d<\/em><\/strong> be in the minority.  But I don&#8217;t really expect any of this to change the minds of the people in charge, and I&#8217;ve long since lost any hope that people marching in the streets would give the Democrats that much needed spine transplant.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d be quite happy to be wrong, though.  <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy you Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big anti-war rally and march planned for today here.
