Aurora Planned Parenthood, Badly Planned with UPDATE!

Last night, September 25th, I attended the City Council meeting in Aurora, Illinois to support the new Planned Parenthood facility in my neighborhood. From the outside of the building, where over 300 of the clinic’s supporters were gathered, compared to perhaps 30-50 of the anti-abortion protesters, it all looked just peachy. Once inside, […]

Road2DC Takes the Road to DC

We’ve had quite a few great diaries in the last couple of days discussing the March for Peace that was held on September the 15th. I’m not sure who posted the first, although I know that the drunken live blogging episode from the patio of the Holiday Inn had to be one of them. […]

Don’t Think Protests Matter? The Freepers Do…

There’s been alot of talk lately about protest. I know, because I’ve been doing some of the talking. Most people I’ve talked to seem to be for it, at least in a theoretical way. Many are supportive of protests, but they have a life, after all, with jobs and kids and previously […]

A Turdblossom Blooms in Texas

I am overcome with sadness. Karl Rove is leaving the West Wing. How will we ever survive? More to the point, how will George W. Bush survive? Can Cheney keep all those puppet strings hopping on his own? Who will point Bush towards the right door, straighten his tie, put […]

Dinner at the White House
