Not suitable for Bush fans.

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sit stunned at this outburst of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits at his desk, head in hands.

( Ow. )

Wednesday night, 7:30, is the MoveOn.org organized candlelight vigil in support of a) the woman who's devastated and protesting the war by Bush's place, and b) peace.

I gave the Cafe Fiat guys a poke on the issue, because it would be utterly wizard if they would host a vigil.

If not, I'm probably going to disband group a little early and go to the McDowell and Central vigil.

(It is somewhat ... Lunatic ... of me to attempt to tell a Catholic cafe about a generally liberal political event. But I do not particularly think the Catholic community is much more in support of people dying in a needless war than I am. Perhaps it needed to happen, but it was rushed into ass-backwards, it's being carried out with what sounds like a far less capable and organized plan than the '91 war, and the Shrubbery is only listening to the little voices in his head.)
