"Are they going to hand out memorial spatulas?"

And hold a feast of pancakes?

[Jaded]

Not to like split hairs or anything, and it's probably a minor point, but how could she have been "attending" Evergreen State if she was off supporting Terrorists in a foreign country?

And all of these dressed up people look like FLAKES on Parade.

Oh! Oh! Let me guess! 'Cause she got a flat grade in college?

[AnAmericanMother]

It's a Shrove Tuesday pancake race in Olney, Bucks in England. It's the English equivalent of Mardi Gras (well, you didn't think they'd throw beads and dance drunkenly in the French Quarter, did you?)

They even have a website.

12 posts on a Rachel Corrie thread and no pictures of pancakes yet?

Okay...

[azhenfud]

Hey, that's interesting.

I have got to say - just looking at that pic makes me want to let out a deep-lunged Howard Dean immitation Rebel yell (when there's nobody around)

"I refuse to honor anyone who does not have the sense to get out of the way of a bulldozer."

Ditto, plus she was VERY anti-American with that arrogant, stupid act. I suppose some feel the need to exalt stupidity. What a waste of a life.

Rachel Corrie: 1979 ~ 2003

One student graduating from Evergreen on June 13 will not be present: peace activist Rachel Corrie will be awarded a posthumous degree. A senior at Evergreen, before her death Rachel had completed all but a few of the credits needed for graduation. Her teachers have certified the remaining credits.

Born on April 10, 1979, Rachel died on March 16 of this year, crushed by an Israeli tank as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian doctor's home.

Rachel's death is tragic--as are the deaths of the thousands of victims of the conflict between Israel and Palestine: most of them non-combatents, many of them children, elderly or handicapped. This conflict continues to escalate, as fear and desperation mount on all sides.

We, Women in Black from several counties in Western Washington, join with the Palestinian and Israeli women who founded Women in Black, with the Coalition of Women for a Just Peace and with people of good will around the world in calling for peace and justice in Palestine.

She might have been getting course credits for her work in Paleostinian territories. Was not carrying a full course load but non the less was picking up university credits. I know that some university students have done this

Each bulldozer could lower there blade in succession. How moving.

This is just crap. I looked at a couple of the sites with pictures. There is no fricken way the bulldozer ran over her and then backed over her. These propagandists for her, "The Corrie Shills" have absolutely no shame. Wonder what these wonderful human beings think of all of the innocent civilians that the Palestinian Murders have killed. Who cries for the Israelis?
