Code Pink Will Invoke Magic to Shut Down Marine Recruiting Station in Berkeley Tomorrow

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Oh, it’s on!

Witches, Crones, Sirens come to the Marine Recruiting Station [on May 9, 2008] to cast spells, weave magic, invoke the foremothers, share wisdom, lead rituals to bring peace to the MRS, to protect our youth from the powerful spells of pro-war forces, to lead the men of the marine recruiting station off into the oceans of peace!

Some witches, crones and sirens are willing to risk arrest, others are not. We call on all crones, witches and sirens to come to the MRS, to bring your energy, your wisdom, your fierce determination to end war now and bring peace to our world.

What’s that? You can’t make the scene? Well then just watch it all live online courtesy of Fox News Channel on the 24/7 FoxNews Berkeley Protest Cam.

In fact, why don’t you check it out right now and see if Code Pink’s gatherings in front of the recruiting station really are as “ill-attended” as Fox says.

But hurry, or else this TDI engine lover spotted yesterday might beat you to the dealership. Check it out, if you want.

Small Brewers Blackbirds generally don’t take kindly to any kind of hawk flying by their nesting areas. The problem is that this hawk is hunting around her own nest. She’s not going to abandon her young ‘uns, so she just ignores the daily harassment.

The blackbird rode on the hawk’s back for a short while and then flew away, to come and fight another day.
