Sunday Music: Fast As You Can

While looking for this weeks song I discovered that I am not friends with Fiona Apple on MySpace.

I fixed that…

7 years on and all the fizzle is gone

Today is the 7th anniversary of the war in Iraq and I went to two protest to see how the other side chose to remember this day.

The first was in Everett. This years Anniversary fell on the same day of the week as the old weekly Friday protest/counter protest we have had here for all 7 years of the war. I had not been able to join them much because of work but I took the day off for the occasion.

first it was a picture perfect day!

Everett Peace Action showed up right on time (they always do)

New to the line up is the “Stop Obama’s Drone Slaughter” sign, yet nothing about the homicide bombers who walk into open markets to blow themselves up or those who plant bombs in a girls school because “girls learning stuff is bad”… Oh and we can’t forget about the government takeover of about everything that matters in life… not that that has anything to do with the war.

And Evergreen Troop Support Group took up their positions as well.

Look a few of Our Guys getting lunch. Soldiers gotta eat too.

and then they had to pass the other side.

 

Because of past violence from the “Peace activist” we’ve had a police presence for over a year.

 

promptly at 1:00 they leave. Good I have to drive to Tacoma for the next event.

Traffic was light and I arrived about 30 minutes early, a few activist were already there but I wanted to spend some time getting photos of the city.

But it didn’t take long for the crowd to grow…

 

 

And in case you don’t think they lie about our Troops, look at this bumper sticker…

Oh yes they are calling our guys rapist! and in case you thought it was just one crazy fringe lefty here is another

And this is an insider bringing signs.

Look! It’s the making of a gitmo prisoner… (the driver of the van pictured above)

Ok Lets march…

And lets all stand on a bridge and flash a peace Victory sign.

Dude, anymore hippy and Eric Cartman will come all the way from South Park to run you over with his Big Wheel.

And watch the movie… Picture just don’t reflect the failure that this event really was…

On this 7th year of the war in Iraq

I want to remind everyone what the difference is between the two side in this struggle

Yes we are fighting a war at home too.

Judge a man by his friends

And with friends like these its not hard to understand why this order was given to our brave men and women giving aid to the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

So as you know, many countries have set up camp to in Haiti help those recovering from the devastating earthquake. And at these camps, they are flying their flags. Only one country isn't - and it's the country that has done more to help Haiti - and the world in general - than any place else in the history of histories.

According to the Army Times, veterans and servicemembers are pissed. They realize, like everyone else, that the US should be proud to fly the flag...anywhere, for that matter.

Well, according to the Obama Administration, raising the US flag will make us look like bad guys. The U.S. government's Haiti Joint Information Center, says: "We are not here as an occupation force, but as an international partner committed to supporting the government of Haiti on the road to recovery."

True story Storey! On Thursday I was invited to watch Nina rehearse for her upcoming show (March 17) at Hotel Cafe in LA.

What a good time I had!!!

It was an on line feed from her rehearsal thru Ustream.

There’s a Communist Living in the White House

When she was on SNL I had a crush on her, I guess it never really went away.

True Honor

Last week due to record snow fall Washington DC shut down every federal office. Every city office closed for ten day, but a group of men who understand duty saw to it that they did not abandon their charge.

The Tomb of the Unknowns was never unguarded

Tea Party Birthday Party

One year ago we all gathered to say something to our leaders… Enough!! Enough on the new taxes. Enough on the takeover of banks, car makers, health care and our daily lives. Enough!

Today we want to be sure our leaders know we are still out there we are still watching and we are waiting go get out the vote this November. On a cool rainy Saturday afternoon about 200 of us shared this message with the people of Seattle.

 

These rallies about our future not our past.

 

We are angry because we see the danger and we know what is at stake.

This fight will go on, we will push back the tide

We will stand for the greatness that is America and the American people who everyday make the dream real.

American exceptionalism is a grass roots movement! Meet the leaders
