1. I wonder if the ticket they got..for obstrucing a highway..
will be thrown out in court. If it is, ........well some part of the Constitution is alive...they shouldn't have been arrested in the first place...but.

It was reported, and they at least got some protest time in.......

5. CO-Sen: Schaffer, Abramoff and Two (Other) Republican Dicks
As part of a curious strategy, Colorado's Republican candidate for Senate Bob Schaffer is deflecting from his ties to one criminal by focusing on his links to another. His trade-off? Jack Abramoff for Dick Cheney.

After the Denver Post mentioned that Schaffer's "model" for a guest-worker program — the one in place in the U.S. protectorate the Mariana Islands — was in fact guilty of well-documented human rights abuses, things got hot for Bobby.

It turns out Schaffer's fact-finding mission to the Islands in '99 was funded by Jack Abramoff's firm, Preston-Gates, which lobbied on behalf of sweatshop-loving factory owners, and sweatshop-friendly government officials. So, as duty demanded, Schaffer took time off from parasailing and slapping little children (pictures document the parasailing, the slapping is personal speculation at this point) to meet with Abramoff's staff.
