1. Oddly, and uncharateristically, Northwest Cable News is actually reporting

on this, and the vigil in the Seattle area. Though they did stop to talk extensively with a grandmother of three boys who are set to go to Iraq who feels that the attendees at the vigils are "supporting terrorists" :crazy: whatever the heck that means. It looked like she raided a party store or the Oriental Trader catalog after July 4th, and covered every square inch of her porch with bunting and other red, white, and blue paraphenalia (just in case we were concerned she wasn't patriotic). I wonder if she'll change her loony tune if they come home missing limbs or worse?
