Okay, I was joking about the photos.

WHITE HOUSE (AP) -- Anti-Iraq-war protesters have staged a small, but eye-catching, demonstration at the White House.

Five women and one man from the group Breasts not Bombs staged the event in Lafayette Park across from the White House. And it wasn't the bombs that were on display. snip

Nearby Secret Service agents made no move to intervene.

6. A guy at the college here was hawking parking for the football game wearing only a diaper.
It was not much of an enticement.

10. Ha! Ha! March Naked! Yes, yes, yes! Let's all do it!
Looky there -- a half-a-million anti-war marchers get almost no press, but a mere half-dozen anti-war marchers make big news simply because they marched half-naked.

I've been saying this for months. If we REALLY want our demonstrations to be covered by the MSM....if we really WANT politicians to see how angry and desperate we are ... then we need to promote ourselves the good old American way -- with nekkid sex.

Imagine how much press would be generated -- how many people would hear about it -- if everyone came to the next big march on Washington ready to march naked.

There'd be nothing sexy about this (surely not in my case), but it would be just outrageous enough so that the MSM would HAVE to cover it -- even against their own will.

Want to stop naked agression? March NAKED!!

16. 'Very Peaceful' Anti-War Rally Draws 300 To Federal Building (Los Angeles)
Hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of downtown Los Angeles for an anti-war rally Saturday, and some carried signs calling for the end of "the wars abroad and at home, from Iraq to Jena to New Orleans to the Mexican border."

The march began at Olympic Boulevard and Broadway around 1 p.m., and demonstrators walked up Broadway, across Temple Street and up Los Angeles Street before stopping to assemble outside the Federal Building, said Sgt. Lee Sands of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Here at the assembly point they've just had a few speakers for their rally," Sands said. "They've been very peaceful the entire time." ...

Two nearby freeway ramps were closed for traffic safety concerns.

22. On March 15, 2003
I marched through DT Portland w/about 30,000 others. There was one in particular of those 30,000 that got my attention.

Actually, I wheeled (in a w/c). At one point, I turned to my right and there was a young man marching wearing only piercings. His pierced dangly parts were right in front of my face.

Surprisingly, he finished the march w/o one cop stopping him.

NOT ONE PORTLAND COP!
