"May 1 was the date that George Bush dressed up like a soldier..."

[bloom]

"Nationally-coordinated demonstrations, rallies, teach-ins, and forums on the anniversary of George W. Bush's declaration of the end of major combat operations in Iraq. May 1 was the date that George Bush dressed up like a soldier, flew onto the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, and posed for that disgusting photo op where he could claim credit for the conquering of Iraq. Far from having ended major military combat, the war in Iraq only intensified. More U.S. soldiers have been killed or wounded since May 1 than during the invasion phase of the war. Nearly 10,000 soldiers have been evacuated from Iraq for wounds and other injuries. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed, and in the last week the Bush administration executed a bloodbath as a form of collective punishment for the people of Fallujah and elsewhere throughout Iraq. The May 1 anniversary will be marked by nationally-coordinated activities - demonstrations, rallies, teach-ins, and forums - exposing the lies of the Bush administration."

Call initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition

1. May 2 was the day The Old Man of the Mountain lost face

and crashed down the mountainside into Franconia Notch, NH. The huge, landmark, granite face could not bear the embarassment of having an appointed AWOL pResident parading like a pissant peacock on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln.

So the noble old man did the honorable thing and cashed his chips in the next day. Sigh. There will never be another like him.
