Today’s protest and more

As promised, I’ve uploaded about 30 photos of today’s third annual protest on the anniversary of the Iraq War in Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base. I also posted a few remainders from Uruguay and Texas.

Me at the Museum (and former home) of Juan Zarillo, poet, patriarch, and national hero of Uruguay. The Rio de la Plata is in the background.

It’s all relative

Maybe Jessie Beard was right:


How rich are you? >>

I’m loaded.
It’s official.
I’m the 53,239,565 richest person on earth!

Hat tip: I found the Global Rich List (which is designed like a hypercard deck from a 1980′s Macintosh) via a cool tool called StumbleUpon that a co-worker just pointed me to.

No Hoder

Ed Cone just announced that Hoder was held up by U.S. immigration for two days and was ultimately not allowed into the country, and therefore will not be here at the ConvergeSouth conference. Ed suggests we visit Hoder’s blog and tell him how much we missed him.

I suggest we visit the Department of Homeland Security and tell them how much they are doing to stifle the free speech and democracy they are supposed to be protecting with their totalitarian policies.

Radical relief

Just got this very helpful info from a librarian friend of mine:

A volunteer at Radical Reference, a collective of library workers who provide virtual reference services, created this list of social justice organizations that offer aid to victims of hurricane katrina:

America Stands with Cindy

I don’t have time to write much, but you probably already know the drill. Cindy rocks bells, I saw her speak at the 2nd annual peace rally in Fayetteville (or was it the first one?).

Visit MeetWithCindy.org to find out how you can support her. (They even have a blog and podcast!). It might be a nice time for a road trip to Texas…

Stop Slick Rick

Watch this video footage of our nation’s leading elected homophobe* Senator Rick Santorum saying that states should be able to legally deny birth control to anyone for no reason. Then do what you can to help Pennsylvania Dump Santorum.

Stop Bush from stacking the Supreme Court

Roberts has a history of being a Bush partisan, arguing that Roe should be overturned, and working as a corporate lawyer to fight workers and environmentalists. And that’s just the stuff we know so far! Tell your Senators not to confirm John Roberts

Party in DC for my birthday!

Oh yeah, and the March for Women’s Lives!
(Click here to sign up.)

So not only will there be one of the most historically massive political protests in world history on my 33rd birthday, April 25, 2004. There will also be a bunch of other fun pro-choice activities that weekend, and two great shows at the 9:30 Club to boot (Einst�rzende Neubauten on 4/23 and Tortoise on 4/24) !!!

Are we lucky or what? See you in DC! And probably not before then given my schedule. ;}
