Checking out MyYahoo headlines, I saw this little article: Yahoo! News - Protesters plan to turn their backs on Bush. Included in the story were several cases of plans for protesting Bush’s re-election during the inaugural parade.
There was a statistic that amused me, but that I don’t expect to hear via the traditional media outlets:
[Sgt. Scott Fear of the U.S. Park Police] said two of six protest permits went to groups supportive of Bush, the rest to opponents.
More people protesting than supporting. Where were these people on November 2nd?
The protest I like the idea the most is the “turn your back on Bush” protest. Silent, unobtrusive, but yet very potent statement of belief. This group wants it’s participants to remain calm, not bring any anti-Bush paraphanalia with them and not respond to antagonism from the Bush supporters. I, for one, would love to see this on the news. But I know I probably won’t. Damn, wish I could be there just so I could take part.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
