1. Any arrests there?
Judging by the news, the cops were very difficult today in Chicago. Waiting to hear from someone in NYC, nothing yet.

13. looked pretty quiet to me
there was a HUGE police presence, but i did not see them doing anything but standing around. i ended up bringing up the rear, so i was mostly surrounded by the "police parade". admit i have no idea what was happening at the front of the march.

2. EVERY time. Like clockwork.
How tiresome and predictable.

Can we please have an emoticon that looks like the "wanking" gesture?:eyes:

3. the alert was raised?

yo! Tommee! who cares what you think!?

I just got home from the peace march locally. There was a nice turnout and the cops were just leaning up against the buildings. No arrests, no nothing - it was peaceful!

Lots of Kucinich supporters everywhere! It made me proud to be his supporter.

People are fed up. Old and young alike, they see through all of the lies. The house of cards is collapsing ... alas ORANGE ALERT, ORANGE ALERT!!!

What a of crock o' crap!!! *, we are on to and your games!!! :nuke:

The :party: is just beginning that hails the victory of end of the BFEE! :evilgrin:

9. rally here was peaceful and WET
what was most odd were the campus cops in front a univ building where lots of govt/war-related research is done. They were holding night-sticks and wearing face -shields... it looked like something Mussolini-like ( or South Korea) It was disturbing, as the local police were fine.

14. The US issued a worldwide terror alert
on Friday, I believe.

That is a different alert system than the one we use for Homeland Security. Homeland Security only issues alerts for the US.

lemon, banana. avacado, cherry - who can keep up with the flavor of the day?

KOMO-TV said 15,000 today. Guess that's why I missed you, but I saw lots of stickers for your campaign and a very effecive advocate handing them out and spreading the word.

(edit typo)
