LOL!

You must be putting a shine on the ol' Birkenstocks and looking around for the love beads in preparation for a trip to DC Monday to attend the anti-war party.

I could go on and on about the parallels with the 60s but I won't waste too much of my time. The parallels are quite clear to anyone who bothers to stop and smell the incense.

Slogans getting better, finally, though still pretty lame: "One, two, three, four, we don't want Bush's war!"

The predictable sit-in:

pacifica.org

Not a party? Why, then, are these protestors going to get naked? ["In a lighter but perhaps equally eye-popping tactic, protesters in the organization Baring Witness said they might take their clothes off and march down San Francisco's Market Street."}

And last, but not least, the old 1964 Daisy ad is revived. ["Also, a national grass-roots anti-war group on Thursday began airing a remake of the 1964 "Daisy" ad. It's a jarring television commercial from the Cold War era which depicts a girl plucking petals from a daisy - along with a missile launch countdown and a nuclear mushroom cloud."]

Yep. If one didn't live the Sixties or doesn't want to let them go, this is a grand way to re-live their silliest excesses.
