On The Front Lines In Pittsburgh  @9:20 AM

Local shopkeepers address the possibility of violent protests during the upcoming G20 summit: "At Enrico Biscotti, Lagattuta expects the best but understands the potential for disruption. He said he isn't worried and expects his locally made cookies to appeal to everyone. 'If a protester wants to spray somebody with cat urine, come and get a cookie first,' he said. 'Everybody needs a cookie.'" Very true! 9

26 Awesome People Arrested, Released In Capitol Building Protest  @10:35 AM


You know who are actually American heroes? The 26 people arrested yesterday in support of needle exchange legalization. Obama's platform has always been pro-needle exchange, but when he submitted the budget back in May, it still included the old language banning spending on needle exchange. The White House's last statement was that they wanted to handle this legislatively and also to build public consensus on needle exchange. Since then: nada. And that is extra-stupid: public health is way outside the realm of man-on-the-street approval ratings. There are 20 years of needle exchange studies and that the White House is back-burnering this is outrageous—and way more outrageous than back-burnering Don't Ask Don't Tell. (Though it is less sexy than DADT. I mean who doesn't like seeing the hot gay soldiers on the T.V.? Except when you remember that they are all in the killing business. But whatever!) 3

Andy Dick Stars In "It"  @11:13 AM


If, like 13% of the adult American population, you have an inexplicable fear of clowns, this video of comedian Andy Dick dressed as Ronald McDonald at a PETA protest will chill you to the bone. Even if you're clown-friendly, it is indeed still rather terrifying. I'm almost apologetic about posting it, but sometimes we need to confront our fears to finally overcome them. 12

"Ever since the great Republican Ulysses S. Grant signed the law that made Yellowstone the first National Park, there have been greedy yokels who can't stand the idea that we might have nice things in this country." 13

England police arrested 114 people at a school in Nottingham for 3 1/2 to 11-year-olds; police said the hippies were planning a demonstration at a nearby coal-fired power station. Fortunately, the long-hairs are all locked up before they even had a chance to do anything harmful to the source of global warming. Yay democracy! 0

Protest Planned Over Iraq Murders Of Gay Men  @11:02 PM

Avowed homosexuals are going to protest at the Iraqi U.N. Mission in New York City on Friday, April 10, because the murder toll for gay men in Iraq has now hit a rather shocking six a week. But Iraq, on the path to democracy, is totally catching up to the U.S.! They're just only up to 1935. 0

 

Code Pink Attacks Larry Summers  @3:50 PM


Anti-war activists Code Pink got a lot more interesting when they started attacking the financial titans, as they did this afternoon when they bumrushed the stage in D.C. while unemployable idiot money-grabber and "White House National Economic Council Director" Larry Summers was speaking. This we can get behind! 2
