The Olympian: Stryker vehicles restored to combat readiness The vehicles traveled thousands of miles on patrol in desert conditions as insurgents shot at them or attempted to blow them up. Back home, protesters at the Port of Olympia attempted to barricade their return to Fort Lewis in November, leading to dozens of arrests. I'm curious how the next shipment will play out. Obviously this batch will be returning to the place those protesting don't want to be. Will it stop at protesting in the street? Right now the tactic would appear to be to take convoy protection out of the picture through civil suit. It's also disappointing that the Department of Defense doesn't seem inclined to fund convoy protection. I imagine that if the Department of Defense were to step up to the plate and say they would be willing to cover the cost of convoy protection - and any potential civil liability - we wouldn't have to wonder. It would promote stability in that everyone would be well aware that law enforcement would be out in full force with no questions asked.

i tried to get back into the camp and did there paperwork background check. as the prosses went on the time frames cept getting further and further. after a week of waiting they told me it takes up to 4 weeks to do a record check . then i went to the ponza board meeting and tried to put this on the agenda and they tottally put me off saying that just the way it is even though bill got to put his piss test issue on the agenda. i got mad a bit and i told them to fuck off and they threatend to call the cops. actually i think i told them to fuck offf after they threatend that.
wel anyway im a loud and obnoxious person anyway as all who know me know that. and if i wasnt this camp and all that would never have ever happend. hell i cursed out the city council and they never called the pigs. well certian people in the camp used this as a reason to bar me from the camp which is wrong cuz it is censorship and i never had any sense of due prosess or real justice. the camp "leaders" dont want me around cuz i stirr stuff up and the like there little status quo situation they got going on there.
i was never invited to defend myself on them kicking me off the camp preoperty and it looks like they are trying to permantly bar me from the camp and all the processes of the camp wich is idioic cuz i started this shit and i still am part of the camp and all the stuff.
well i got pnemunoa and am still sick.

I just discovered that the MoMA is posting videos on YouTube. Chuck Close, a native of our Pacific NW, speaks here about process and painting (primarily). I think he's a pretty interesting artist.

Jan 18 2008 - 9:00am Jan 18 2008 - 9:30am I'm submitting this for the folks at momsrising.org: Your help is needed this Friday morning at the capitol. Join us to to deliver fortune cookies, which are stuffed with messages for fully funded family leave to issue champion, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown. We need your help delivering them to her, and to other state legislators. We'll bring the cookies to share, you bring your enthusiasm for the issue (and kids are more than welcome too!). CAN YOU MEET US AT THE CAPITOL? TIME & DATE: 9am, this Friday, January 18th for about 30 minutes. LOCATION: Outside the Senate Majority Leader's Office (Senator Lisa Brown) in the Washington State Legislative Building (the building with the big dome), Room 307, in Olympia. RSVP: Katie@momsrising.org MomsRising.org was a part of the Washington Family Leave Coalition, a coalition of more than 50 organizations and businesses, which strongly advocated for this policy. The Coalition also includes the Economic Opportunity Institute and the Washington State Labor Council. MomsRising.org also reached out to small business owners in the state, and helped generate a letter supporting the law signed by 36 small business owners. "This effort is ongoing and support for family leave insurance is growing--both Washington families and businesses will be helped by the implementation of this law and we've heard from our members that this is a priority," says MomsRising Executive Director Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner.
