1. Was Lowery the one who spoke at Coretta Scott King's funeral?
The one * and Laura were mad at?

8. And did you notice that the HORSE is wearing the W?
Perfect, except if they painted the W on the horse's ASS instead of its head, they'd really be telling the truth.

10. Is it even humanly possible to see a picture of Rev. Lowery and not
feel that everything is going to be alright?

What an affirming presence he is.

His address to mourners at Coretta Scott King's memorial service ranks up there with me very, very high.

To anybody who's ever actually met this man, I am wildly jealous.

17. This must be very frightening to the * cabal
because now you have an extremely powerful Civil Right's champion joining Cindy Sheehan....

what if the Latino community joined in.....and the LGBT community....these groups have been working kind of independently.....

Change is in the wind my friends.....

18. Carl Rising-Moore
I notice that Carl Rising-Moore is at Camp Casey. He's from around here, and I met him briefly at the last anti-war protest I attended here. Here's an article about him from a wonderful local alternative weekly newspaper. Just google his name for more.
