2. Damn. I didn't make it to D.C. I actually got in the car and started to drive for about 20 minutes

No pictures from me, today, everyone. Sorry. :(

6. Can't figure this one out.

During a rally in Lafayette, Calif., pro-troop demonstrators planted a banner and flag in front of a hillside where anti-war activists have erected hundreds of crosses to represent soldiers killed in Iraq in this March 8, 2007, file photo. The war in Iraq is one of the issues confronting 2008 presidential hopefuls. (AP Photo/Noah Berger)

So, is the AP showing it's librul bias:sarcasm: by labeling those who support war as "pro-troop activists", implying those who do not support the war are "anti-troop"? Perhaps it is time to take control of the semantics. It seems to be following the pro-life/pro-choice track. Also, is placing the flag and banner in front of the anti-war demonstration really drawing away from the message? It seems, from my perspective, to support the anti-war demonstration.
