More freeway blogging in Rome (Pic Heavy)

The signs


War is over if you want it (foot bridge at the Colosseum)


Iraq/n (Colosseum)


Torture OK - What next? (above Colosseo subway station)


Iraqnam - Not again (via dei Fori Imperiali/Roman Forum)


Iraqnam (just outside the main railway station, visible from trains. Train blogging)


There is no war on terror (back side of Roman Forum near Circo Massimo)


Impeach Bush & Cheney (Garibaldi bridge, monument to Vittorio Emanuele and synagogue in background)


Iraq:Week=$2,000,000,000 (Garibaldi bridge, San Pietro/Vatican in background)

2. I thought Italy's population overwhelmingly rejected the war?
Is that right?

Or does he just want the attention?

8. They are written in English so...
...Italians (and everyone else) will know it was U.S. citizens who put them up (btw-I have no idea who put them up ;-)). All the slogans are easy to understand for people who speak Italian.

OK?

(ps - why do you assume it was a HE?)

10. Fair enough on the He part
However this "freeway blogging" thing enrages me. In '00 Buchanan idiots were doing this and cost me a 1/2 hour of my life because traffic was so slow.

I have to get to places for work on many mornings. If I don't bad things can happen to people. These "freeway bloggers" waste immense amounts of time which it is not theirs to spend.

If a "freeway blogger" sees me coming they better get on their bike and go because they won't like what happens to them when I get there.

11. Wow, you are angry, but...
...if you are opposed to Freeway Blogging in general, why were you concerned about the language?

Somehow I don't think any of these are on your route to work.

Anyway, thanks for the kicks ;-)
