Boston Police report arresting 18 people at City Hall around 2 p.m. today on charges of "disturbing a lawful assembly of people:"
The protestors, a group from an organization called Veterans for Peace, created a disturbance throughout the proceedings. On several occasions, police officers warned the group that if they continued to deliberately interrupt and disrupt the assembly they would face arrest. When offered an alternative location from which to protest from, the protestors refused.

Jeff Egnaczyk was good friends with Andrew Bacevich, killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq on Sunday. He mourns him:

Jules Crittenden ponders the death of Andrew Bacevich, an Army lieutenant whose father, a BU professor, was critical of the war:
... I'm going to my 11-year-old son’s baseball games and band concerts these days, only wondering where life will take him. It breaks my heart to think of a father's dreams shattered and it is all I can do not to sob at the thought of it. ...

John Daley suspects it's because the local anti-war movement has been hijacked by the loonie left:
... With speakers flinging four-letter words from the bandstand, advocating dismantling the state and later, upon seeing police bikes along Tremont Street, exclaim over the PA, "I didn't know pigs could ride bikes," it's no wonder that mainstream (or in this case, all) politicians and most working people stayed away.

I just got an e-mail from my son that he and his unit landed in Iraq yesterday. Absent a cut-off in funding, he'll be there for a year. I ask for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of him and all the other young men and women from all the different factions who are the pawns of these miserable old men and their delusions.

Right now I am listening to WBUR's broadcast of the president's news conference concerning North Korea and Iraq.
I try to listen objectively to his addresses to the nation but it is hard. I am always left with the image of a comedian who is just not very good but insists on trying to keep the audience's attention. I don't know that this is better than the typical image I have of him, which is as the teenage son who tries really hard to do adult things but ultimately needs his dad, usually in the form of Mike Brady, to bail him out.
Apparently we are working really hard in Iraq and while the news broadcasts are terrible, we have to stay the course. As to North Korea, while we are not pleased with what they have done, [nuclear testing] we will work with them diplomatically to resolve the issue.

Is it odd that the same day the Phoenix slammed Oliver Stone as a Republican sellout for failing to bash Bush in his new movie, it got the U.S. Marines to co-sponsor a free concert? Or that the Phoenix would get pissed when one of the bands objected?
