MLK Jr. Parade in Greensboro (Pt. 2)
I had stopped shooting once I came across the funnel cake (luckily for my arteries, I didn’t have any cash), but then I turned to check out the parade and low and behold, there was an effigy of George W. Bush in a make-shift jail cell float, pulled by a United For Peace truck with a sign that read, “Impeach Bush for his Crimes Against Humanity.”
That received the loudest cheer of the day — even more than the HS girls doing the tootsie roll.

The time has come for a massive nationwide impeachment march on Washington to demand that Congress hold Bush accountable.

GAH! how do i keep missing this stuff? glad i found your blog, i feel like i’m swimming in an empty pool down here in g’boro, but you seem like a kindred spirit.
well, come on out to the press wine cafe (corner of gorrell and mlk) this wednesday night at 7pm and introduce yourself. it’s a blogger meetup, but people other than tech geeks show up. ;-)
UPDATE: I forgot that I have plans tomorrow night — next month, for sure.
