This was my favorite photo from the exuberant antiwar demonstration in DC on Saturday. Where is the Secret Service when you need them? (Probably out chasing down other 81 year olds who wrote vague letters to the editor). I have another 10 photos (including a full size...
This Saturday should see the biggest antiwar demonstration in Washington since September 2005. Details here. I will be heading down to the big show. When I go to these events, I tend to saunter more than march, savoring the circus elements of these festivities and...
