and they just keep pilin' up...
First there was the March in NYC which, Ic an honestly say, was HUGE. I remember looking up the street as we made our way through the Village and there was just a sea of people and signs up to the horizon. There were hundreds of thousands of people there (one cops there said we were over 150,000, some reports said hundreds of the thousands and the Times here says tens of thousands...from what I say I'd go with something inbetween the cops estimate and say 250,000) and it was amazing. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/30/nyregion/30protest.html?ex=1146542400&en=8428fb293430f784&ei=5087%0AAND with all the people there I STILL ran into at least four friends there. It was very cool and I was proud to be there.
Today there was a march and rally in Washington about saving Darfur. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/30/us.sudan.ap/index.html
The annual press dinner was held and Steven Colbert managed to give the adinistration what for..http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/29.html#a8104
and then there was my personal favorite...Colin Powell threw Condoleeza Rice "off message" causing her to defend the planning of the Iraq war on all the Sunday shows. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060430/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq

and it will keep on comin', my friends...particularly when you KEEP E-MAILING, calling writing, and faxing your friends and family, the press and your congressfolk about these issues.
Peace --Alex
