Over 4,000 vigils were held today, in an action called by Desmond Tutu.
There were at least 20 vigils in Los Angeles. I was at the one in Woodland Hills, a prosperous more conservative part of L.A. Even with that, we got massive support and honks from passing drivers.
As for the very few who scream red-faced at us, I’ve noticed they are always young white males driving SUV’s.

Bad craziness
“U.S. News and World Report’s Washington Whispers says ‘the universe of ousted House Speaker Newt Gingrich continues to expand. Not only is he giving advice to war planners at Central Command, but he’s also suggesting policy strategies to the White House and offering lines for Bush speeches.’ “

Howard Dean!
DailyKos reports on Howard Dean’s speech Saturday at the California Democratic Party convention.
“But the most amazing part was the finale, with a fiery Dean pounding the podium:
I want my country back!
I don’t want to listen to fundamentalist preachers anymore!
When Dean uttered this last line, the whole place went nuts. Utter pandemonium. It was literally one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen.
I reserve the right to change my mind, but as of now, Dean’s the one.”

Apocalyptic fish announces end of world in Hebrew
“An obscure Jewish sect in New York has been gripped in awe by what it believes to be a mystical visitation by a 20 lb carp that was heard shouting in Hebrew.
According to two fish-cutters at the New Square Fish Market, the carp was about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner when it suddenly began shouting apocalyptic warnings in Hebrew.”

Reporters Without Borders publishes the first worldwide press freedom index
And the United States is …17th…
“The poor ranking of the United States (17th) is mainly because of the number of journalists arrested or imprisoned there. Arrests are often because they refuse to reveal their sources in court. Also, since the 11 September attacks, several journalists have been arrested for crossing security lines at some official buildings.”

This just in
“Thousands of ‘human shields’ left Iraq last weekend as news spread that popular jam band Phish was back on tour. In fact, according to reports coming from Baghdad, many human shields thought they were going on Phish tour when they left for the Middle East.
The confusion seems to have arisen when a popular Phish fan site errantly reported that the first leg of the tour would start in Baghdad, when in fact it is Bangor where Phish is planning on playing.”
