Just Can't Wait

Some of the protestors seen during Cheney's visit yesterday were apparently imports.

Cheney`s visit prompted this group, called the "World Can`t Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime," to come to town with their message. They`re driving cross country this summer in an RV to encourage others to drive Bush and Cheney out of office. Local protesters including members of the OMNI Center were also on hand, expressing disapproval for Cheney.

We have enough of our own, we don't need any more loonies thanks. Even if these were....special.

"The World Can`t Wait! Drive out the Bush Regime... The World Can`t Wait! Drive out the Bush Regime," chanted protestors.
Dozens of activists lined the streets, holding signs and banners calling Cheney a fascist and calling for an end to the "Bush regime," and the things they believe the so-called "regime" represents.
"The war, torture, women`s right to choose, the fact that science is being repressed and attacked, the attack on lesbian and gays -- basically the intolerance that Bush and his regime are promoting in this country," says Jamilah Hoffman, an organizer with group "The World Can`t Wait."

Well sure. That's what I've spent the entire morning doing--attacking gay & lesbian scientists. Or as some might call it, 'watering the lawn'. You should've seen 'em run when I turned on the sprinkler too. The robins were pretty happy about it, but we all know robins are secret fascists that enjoy torturing worms daily.

Anyway. They have a website, which includes an account of their time in "lily-white" Fayetteville.

On behalf of all us non-white people here, I am offended by that characterization. But perhaps they didn't notice any Hispanics, Marshall Islanders, Pakistanis, Indians, Native Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Middle Easterners etc. during their trips around town. Kinda hard to miss though.

Eyes, like minds, work best when open.

The visual of people running from your sprinkler makes me almost wish I had been there to see it.

However I'll stick with Shreveport versus observing loonies. They're sort of like South Park. So obviously wrong and foolish you just can't tear your eyes away.

Some people are such sissies about a little water.

I've never been to Shreveport. Are there lots of loonies there?

Yes.
Until Monday night I had never heard of Coushatta, LA, which is just south of Shreveport and home to a lattice type-cell tower.

Now everyone in the country has heard of it. The dang town isn't any bigger than Pea Ridge really.
