Millions of Peaceniks Too Busy to Protest Russian Invasion

Millions of peace protesters say they've been too busy to protest Russia's invasion and occupation of Georgia.

"I really had lots to do the past couple of weekends. I'm all booked up for this weekend, too," said Fawn Hallerback, liaison for the Altoona branch of Moms for Peace. "I have to get groceries, stain the porch, and meet with a couple of friends for drinks."

While the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and continual aggression against Tibet normally draws crowds of angry peace protesters, the conflict in Georgia hasn't attracted any attention at all.

Hallerback added a few hundred Russian armored vehicles and support vehicles are far less threatening than Dick Cheney and a tirade from Alec Baldwin.

Code Pink organizers also encountered scheduling conflicts, according to the organization's concessions mynager and social chairwomyn, Adeline Yip.

"What a time for an invasion," Yip said. "We have the summer picnic this week! It's so hard to reschedule that."

Fawn would be 64 if she were still alive today.

Wounded Deer, Mass. Death stocked the Emily Dickinson College family Thursday when sophomore sociology major Fawn Liebowitz, 20 from Fort Wayne, Indiana was tragically killed while firing a pot in the new kiln in Sylvia Plath Hall.
Wounded Deer Fire Chief Benlard Mutt described the scene as “messy.” “It was hard to tell the pot shards from the body parts,” said the pyrodefense professional. “The recently installed Kraftmaster 2000 kiln apparently had a glitch. She just blew like a frog sucking on a cherry bomb,” said the Chief.
The cleanup of Plath Hall has been complicated by a thin coat of glaze that has affixed many of the body parts to the light fixtures and hand railings. There has been some talk among students of renaming Plath Hall to Fawn Hall. But Emily Dickinson Dean of Students, Isadora Doughnut, contra-claims that “all of her North of The Doors has already been cleaned up, so Sylvia Plath Hall will be back to life soon.”

BECAUSE I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

Ms. Liebowitz was remembered by her classmates as a lively minx, spirited and effervescent. Until she was blown to bits, her best feature (say her friends) was her smile. Her roommate, Shelly Dubinsky (sophomore, primitive cultures), describe Fawn as “a special friend who liked to share her thoughts and experiences, and who had a curiosity about life and relationships. Fawn would often experiment with different kinds of relationships. Lets just say she had an insatiable curiosity about men and women,” said Ms. Dubinsky.
A boyfriend, Frank Lymon from Amherst College reportedly told Fawns friends that “We were engaged to be engaged.” “She was going to make a pot for me,” he said.
Services will be held at Susan B. Anthony Hall on Wednesday. The family has requested that any donations be given to the Pottery for Peace Foundation located on campus.
