Zombie: 9/11 Truth March at the Democratic National Convention
On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, a “truther” organization called We Are Change sponsored the “9/11 Truth March.” I didn’t expect more than a few dozen people to show up, but was surprised and a little disturbed at how large it turned out to be — the crowd numbered in the hundreds.

Zombie: I Went to Invesco and All I Got Was This Lousy Report
I tried to find the beginning of the line — a line which seemed to have no beginning or end. I made the mistake at first of trying to go toward the entrance. Foolish me.

Zombie: The Democratic Convention Giant Puppet Parade
On Tuesday, a group called The Backbone Campaign sponsored a parade they call "Procession to the Future," but which is better known in journalistic circles as Giant Puppets!

Zombie: Scenes from a Convention
Not everything that happens outside the Democratic National Convention fits into a “theme” of some sort. The following series of images were all taken within the space of two hours. Here's a more gut-level impression of what walking around Denver is like this week.

Zombie: Pro-Hillary March
On Tuesday, some Hillary Clinton die-hards held a march along the “designated parade route” from Denver’s Civic Center Park to the “free speech zone” at the Pepsi Center, where the convention is being held. Their goal: a last-ditch attempt to secure the nomination for Hillary.

The Obama Youth

Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 10:58:33 am PST

Here’s an utterly ludicrous statement from Barack Obama that’s flown under the radar so far; he is planning a “civilian national security force” that is as powerful and well-funded as the US military.

Obama promised to increase AmeriCorps slots from 75,000 to 250,000 and pledged to double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011. ...

Obama had first outlined many of the proposals he talked about Wednesday during appearances in Iowa last December.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

Notice that he also says he plans to increase the size of the active military.

Is he even aware that the Department of Defense’s current base budget is close to $500 billion? Obama is going to create a civilian force with this level of funding and equipment? To do what?
