News Advisory:

WHAT: PeaceAction Montgomery will be working to end the war in Iraq by gathering in Washington, D.C., and placing toy soldiers labeled "Bring Me Home" around each of the 56 Christmas trees on the Ellipse in front of the White House. The trees are part of the season's message of Peace on Earth. Each state and territory is sending its sons and daughters to fight in a war without reason or end. This must stop now. At the foot of each tree, we will place our wishes to bring these soldiers to safety and remind Americans that it's time to bring the soldiers home.

WHEN: Monday, Dec. 26, 11:30 a.m.

WHERE: The Ellipse (in front of the White House)

Pickles looks less lifelike than the painted toy soldier, and Dumbya looks like he is snickering because someone farted.

Merry Christmas indeed.

NGU.

harrass them. I almost expect it.

But I hope there aren't and it'd be cool to see a blub and a few seconds of video on the national news.

That pic in your post is really creepy. I looked at it for a while. It could almost be a snapshot of a very small happy corner of the fantasy world laura and dubya share. Wonder what they're thinking...

"they still cheer for me, laura"

"they love us, w, they love us"

no we don't you damn arrogant, murderous clueless fucks - step the hell down and go back to texas and await your trials. get out of the people's house, you frauds. step the hell down.

...'eh, sorry.
