People in protest over Iraq isn't over, and there are ways to network with other activists and travel to places like Washington D.C. and Crawford Texas, sharing travel costs, the costs of lodgings etc. - making your opposition to the Iraq war tangible and visible through throwing your lot in with others making it more affordable in the bargain. I've been to one anti-war street demonstration where I live, but I've got a friend who has since 2003 regularly participated in protests that were organized by some of the big umbrella anti-war groups like ANSWER and others. I personally haven't been to any of the big national demonstrations. But my friend went to Crawford Texas back in I think 2004 when Cindy Sheehan was trying to build Camp Casey, my friend went back the following year after Cindy had bought some land in Crawford bringing a very visible example of Iraq war opposition right to Bush's front door so to speak. I'm sure that there are still people out there engaged in oppostion to the war. I know my friend Louis is. At this moment though, I think people are waiting to see what changes will come after Bush, therefore the anti-war movement is not as much in obvious evidence as it was in earlier years.
But I do still believe it's alive.
and
"Batman"
Don't belong in the same sentence.
That's a refreshing romantic approach. That Arizona senator, that maverick of the southwest, with his six shooter in hand, he can single handedly take out Tehran, put John McCain to the ultimate test.
There's your "maverick" cowboy.
Scuse my irreverence
I didn't know that messin' with the bat
Could be as all serious as that.
I never knew knockin' comic book heroes
Could be so thorny
It's just that to my way of seein' it
Batman Begins was the very soul of fuckin' corny.
What's with the "flash?"
Klytus don't want no pop, sizzle, or "flash"
Klytus wants real entertainment
For his hard earned cash.
Can you dig it?
For love of got go out and get laid, and stop gettin' all giddy on that crazy ass Nader-aid.
I'll "recover"
You crazy talkin' mother.
Butha may tranquilty rule.
If you wanna be the first in line to blow ten bucks to see BatChump, well brutha that's cool.
Thanks for that. Yeah, I think Sheehan's the real deal.
I too saw "Batman Begins" my batty friends, and I just can't wait till "Batman Ends."
What's the deal, are you for real?
Tracy-Flory, you're startin' to make me worry.
Of their interior astral planes.
We wouldn't have to be talking about their next terrible movie.
Trust in Allah
But tie up your camel.
Figure it out for yourself, you do the math, don't mess with the Dark Knight, unless you wanna earn Geekdom's most sanctimonious wrath.
And it was when I was a kid of about 7 or at 8 years of age. It was such a stirring song. I loved the words too which I can still remember in bitts and pieces. One line I do remember went - "There was something there for you and me for liberty Fernando." I've never felt like ABBA ever left popular music. They were great and loved all over the world.
Hasn't there already been enough bat guano about Batman?
Salam my friend go in peace.
I'll sure be eager to learn, just how many strokes this Bat flick earns.
America gets geared up for its favorite fearless flyin' rat, and after its army of Bat geeks see it, it'll make enough money to pay for Iraq.
Hillary who?
I'm just kinda hopin' that gay English gangster beats the shit out of Batman.
It would make a Bazillion bucks. Next time I would advise the director to cast Batman with a large part in the production.
About their precious Dark Knight!
Politicians are probably full of shit but you're full of it up to the gills if you think that McCain is gonna cure this country's deep ills.
Thanks for refering us back to the big Bat Bible, clearly timothy should be sued for Bat libel.
You've got a good gripe, now if you could just get a life.
I remember Klaus Nomi. I remember him performing with David Bowie back in the late 70's on SNL. I like his otherworldliness, but I LOVE Nina Hagen.
Shit's startin' to get Batatical.
I can hardly wait until the next fucking Kevin Smith movie!
I've figured out the problem is you.
POWDERED TOASTMAN THE MOTION PICTURE!
AWAY EVIL DOERS!
Batman do in a situation like that?
I like riding the bus but its not as cool or fast as the Batmobile.
But is Batman in it?
When I drink too much I have to run to the Batroom!
You gotta be fuckin' shittin' me!
What's with all the probing analysis? It's ABBA.
You've never really seen Batman til you've watched it on acid.
There's not anything we wouldn't do, to enhance the stance of your Bat I.Q.
So perhaps it is you who needs to update his view.
But I believe he's Batman's brother in law.
It's the circle jerk for the Family Circle goatee crowd.
But Good Celery is always reliably fibrously nutritious.
Buy his own plane ticket.
But it's my name.
The New yorker should be able to cover the cost.
Can lick my ass.
Freedom fish 'n chips.
Then I take 'em home and wipe my ass with 'em.
There's nothing "dangerous" about Glenn pure and imaculate as the driven snow Greenwald.
As the trampled manure.
Don't be sorry, I'm not a fan either.
Oh yeah, that's the type I don't want to apply any critical thinking skills to what so ever.
..and that McCain should simply resubmit when he has something. Maybe McCain needs to go back to school to learn basic composition...
...that America is now a super duper scooper power. As for Queen bitch, who the fuck knows!
