19. Denise is a wonderful woman
I've liked her from the start. She's just as beautiful on the outside too.

I will admit, when I first saw it I thought it was chat_noir's handiwork. There are so many good activists in the KC area. I'm lucky to know some of you.

8. Why yes it is
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 09:08 PM by proud2Blib
and it says "WMD" on it. (In teeny little letters).

George also has a yellow string coming from between his legs - cause he is the leaker. :)

21. David is one of my favorite protesters
He always shows up and his signs are always creative.

And yes, the yellow string 'cuz Bush is a leaker, is a great touch.

24. I noticed he wasn't given a big codpiece, but just an eeny g-string
And the g-string appears to be ample. :spray:

Have a GREAT time in Washington! The cameraderie at those marches is wonderful.

31. Shit, I have to teach tomorrow
LOL

Thank goodness I have a terrific principal who is really excited about what I am doing. She asked me today why I didn't just leave and get on a plane today so I could start kicking butt 2 days early. Then she asked if she should have a sub on call just in case I end up in jail in DC.

And guess what? She is a republican!! LOL

34. Funny you mention jail...
That's exactly why I decided to stay over until Tuesday just in case there's any excitement. I almost got myself arrested last time, but had to duck out of the roped-in area in front of the White House at the last minute to catch a plane. :( I'm ready for anything this time.

38. great pictures. I don't know why but the Kansas city Women one
struck me as halarious (maybe because Kansas is in the middle of the bible belt). The other one of bush being hanged in a g-string might initiate a visit from the SS. I hope things go well for you all this weekend.

41. Update:
They just called from Indiana where they stopped for breakfast. A church is feeding them. They have had a great trip so far.

George comes to all our protests. David dresses him up. He has a Superman cape for him. And he has a Cheney too. David makes the best signs!

:woohoo:

Wish I was there, but being only partially employed and no longer living in DC, it just wasn't gonna happen this time.

But my FIL (who hasn't went to a protest since the 1960s) and his brother will be there representing.
