Funny stuff, this was my favorite:

Minneapolis City Workers

But it's not just CNN who are doing their best to ratchet up support for the war and downplay the concerns of the average American. It was revealed last week that city workers in Minneapolis have been going around neighborhoods and removing antiwar signs from people's front yards. Damn, if that's not the kind of activity that makes America great, I don't know what is. Nancy Berneking, a Wayzata resident whose signs were knocked down and damaged twice in one week, said, "It's like seeing the Constitution being kicked down in your front yard... Why do these people want to silence all dissent?" Come on, Nancy - it's because they're true patriots, you god-forsaken Communist.
