California has a new hobby...

From The Argus, a local paper: 

Organizers expect this Sunday's antiwar rally in San Francisco could grow larger than last month's, at which crowd estimates ranged from between 100,000 and 250,000.

And the Bay Area is but one of more than 300 sites worldwide hosting such rallies this weekend.

Protesters will gather at 11 a.m. Sunday in Justin Herman Plaza at Embarcadero and Market Street, then stage a 1 p.m. march along Market to a 2 p.m. rally at the Civic Center.

The lefty talent-show goes on.

The event will feature speeches and performances by author Alice Walker; actor Danny Glover; singer-songwriter Joan Baez; Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, and United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta.

The concerned come in flavors...

Where will the Internet privacy and EFF contingent meet?

The House approved Republican welfare legislation today requiring more single mothers to work and providing hundreds of millions of dollars to promote marriage. Take mothers from their children, don't fund day care, defund training and education for social mobility. And assume bad times only strike once in a life time.

The radical right continues to get paid. More Shrubbery.
