I'm wondering who is paying the expenses of these "protestors?"

[Travis McGee]

"Banned or suspended." Usually that means a one week time out.

Just saw a report about the Minutemen on Linda Vesters show---

Finally, ya'll are getting the media attention--just keep up the good work, but please take care of yourselves...

Let us know how today goes, okay?

[Spiff]

CJ gets banned now? Wow! Maybe there is hope for this place after all.

He'll be put in the cooler for less than a week. Meanwhile, good people like JackelopeBreeder and idratherbepainting and others are still perma-banned for no good reason.

he tore into Professor Navarro

Is he a professor at University of California, Riverside?

[La Enchiladita]

Navarro, re the MMP:

"They are domestic terrorists that represent a danger to the country and could promote a major border conflict that will have serious ramifications and consequences," said Armando Navarro, a University of California-Riverside political science professor and coordinator of the National Alliance for Human Rights, made up mostly of Hispanic activists.

His is a name to remember, wouldn't you say...?

[HiJinx]

One and the same, department of Chicano Studies or some such nonsuch as such...

He has been trying to give us fits for a coupla years now.

"...and others are still perma-banned for no good reason."

You're right about that. The SOILs have had light discipline--too light. In addition to CJ, there are 3 or 4 other ones right on the edge, although today one of them made a bit of an attempt to rehabilitate herself by sounding much more moderate. But it isn't going to work.

I am the guy (Tom Hood with the AP) who shot this picture and many others of protesters Friday/Saturday's during Minuteman sign-ups in Tombstone and border events in Douglas, Ariz. For the life of me, I will never understand why the dancers were there. Matter of fact, no one really knew....I believe someone knew someone who knew some Indian dancers and thought it might attract more media (which it did) and make alot of noise...Honestly, trying to remain neutral and unbiased on this assignment was difficult. I have pros and cons for both sides. Just hope no one gets hurt....
