There were protests against the rushed, unconstitutional entry of the United States into the Libyan civil war two days ago. There were more antiwar protests yesterday.
Today? Yup, there are more protests against the U.S. military contribution to war in Libya, in two cities.
In Naples, Florida, protesters will meet at the corner of Route 41 and Pine Ridge Road at 4:30 PM.
In Minneapolis, protesters will meet at Mayday Plaza, also at 4:30 in the afternoon.
Of course, if you’re so inclined, you can get out onto the sidewalk with a sign, wherever you are.
The Goose and the Gander
What’s good for the goose,
Should likewise prevail –
Barring some excuse –
For the goose’s male.
The peaceniks all decried
The Iraqi war zone,
With protests worldwide
In loud, lusty tone.
Where are you, Code Pink?
Come out, Dixie Chicks!
Don’t from protest shrink;
Wade into the mix!
Can but Michael Moore
A rebel voice find?
Is not this new war
With Bush’s affined?
It seems goose and gander
Are diff’rent kinds of bird.
The first endured slander,
The second: not a word!

Pretty rhymes. But if you had bothered to check, you’d have found that Code Pink and Michael Moore had already been speaking out against the bombing of Libya.
Reality is so tricksy when you’re writing verse.
America is not fair let them go to Ivory Coast first
