Members of FUMCOG
(First United Methodist Church of Germantown) covering their part of
the chain. The IMR (Mid-range group - from people in their 30s to
60s) group met for a quick lunch beforehand. I didn't attend
because I was with the vets.
Further right-wing nuttery.
The fact that we had all lined up along
the route and joined the march as it went by meant that the march was
pretty darn impressive by the time it neared the end. The lawn
next to the Constitution Center was pretty close to standing room only.
Iraq War veteran John Bruhn offers advice on how to deal with pro-war "Victory Vigilers" in Pennsylvania. Us "Peace Vigilers" have to stand strong and united. We have to stand without apology and without caving in and moving away from a fight. The people on the right wing are getting increasingly desperate as some of them are now looking for a "Rathergate" in the fight of The New Republic vs the right-wing bloggers, led by gruppenfuhrer Michelle Malkin (Ann Coulter outranks Malkin in the Republican Noise Machine, so Coulter gets the title of obergruppenfuhrer.)

Mickey Kaus wants you to think the
"journalism" he and other reporters have practiced in recent weeks is the same
as that conducted by Bernstein and Woodward. It isn't. While the Post reporters relied on multiple sources, named and unnamed, in

incidents, Kaus and others not only reported, but repeated as fact, the claims
of a single unnamed source about
an alleged 14-year-old incident.
Excellent news on FISA! Senator Chris Dodd has stood up and taken responsblity for stopping the Senate's wildly irresponsible rush to immunize telecom companies for having collaborated with Bush's evisceration of the wiretapping laws.
Gold Star Mother Celeste Zappala gives heartfelt speech.
