A good friend of mine from Boston reports that this Saturday's antiwar demonstration on Boston Common was sponsored by a coalition formed in direct opposition to the tapeworms in A.N.S.W.E.R. Good.

As the days pass, I am more and more solidly convinced that the invasion of Iraq was not a brilliant idea. Yet, I don't go to peace rallies, mainly because I haven't even the slightest iota of patience for giant puppet heads, freeing Mumia, die-ins, saving the tasty, tasty whales, overthrowing capitalism, or any of the rest of that filthy hippie shit. If, as it appears, a new vocabulary of protest is in the offing, I will rejoice as this may mean never hearing "kumbyah" ever again.

The New York Times has a pretty good write up of the competing forces in antiwar protests (thanks to Bootsy and Nat):
