YOU NEED TO GET A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How 'bout pinnk?

Here's a simple idea that might turn big. I am going to try to do this - it's ideal - if it works we will feel much better - even if I am the only red shirt in town - no loss. My name is Nadia Jensen and I have an idea for a quiet revolution. Please take 5 minutes to read my email and then help me if you can: Here's some history behind this idea: When Norway was occupied by Germany in 1940, Norwegian women began to knit RED caps for children as a way of letting everyone know that they did not like what was happening in their country, that they didn't like having their freedom taken away by the Nazis. My great aunt, Karin Knudson Myrstad, was one of the women who knit red caps for her children and others. Similarly, in Denmark, women knit red-white-and blue caps (colors of the Allies) for the very same reason. The result was that whenever Norwegians and Danes left their homes -- to go to the store, to work, etc, they could see that THE MAJORITY opposed what was going on in their country. As you know, both countries organized effective Resistance efforts and changed history -- everything that happened began simply by wearing red!!!! (or the colors of the Allies, in Denmark). 1. BACKGROUND: I believe, as many of us do, that at the very heart of our democracy is our right to oppose certain policies of our government. Increasingly, our Government is redefining "freedom" in ways that make too many Americans perceive that it is risky to oppose his policies -- and, in particular, current inroads about individual freedoms and policies in the U.S. and abroad. However, many of us DO oppose what our government is doing to individual rights-- and I have an idea that will allow all of us to recognize each other very easily so we can see that WE ARE THE MAJORITY. 2. SO... I have been thinking that it's time to take action in a way that is effective and easy for all of us to do: Just wear red every Friday between now and election day. Wear a little or a lot-- just be sure that when you leave your house to go about your day -- to work, to school, to the store, to the gas station, wherever you go in your daily routine -- that everyone who sees you will see that you are wearing red because you believe in freedom and you don't agree with our current administration's policies at home and abroad. I'm really certain that we'll see that lots of us wearing red for freedom -- because WE ARE THE MAJORITY. We just need a way to show each other who we are!!! Between now and election day, ask everyone you know to wear red for "Freedom Fridays". 3. I have already spread the word to friends and have had a very enthusiastic response. This email has been forwarded around the country by many who receive it - feel free to send in on to your friends and co-workers.

Posted by willstrickland I have stated before that I believe Iran, Pakistan, and N. Korea are more of a threat to us than Iraq ever was. All it will take in Pakistan is one coup...a coup that has already been attempted on Musharaf twice. One coup, one jihad jerky ascends to power, and they have the nuke. As far as harboring terrorists I believe Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Pakistan are far worse than Iraq ever was. I think this administration was more focused on trying a strategic way to democratize the region than on any clear/imminent/gathering threat. They had ready-made excuses to invade Iraq...and to be honest, Saddam deserved to be swept from power for failing to adhere to the UN resolutions, firing at our planes patrolling the No Fly Zones, etc. The rush, and the criminally poor planning are my beef. When you are the best fighting force in the world, how can you not provide your troops with the equipment, planning, training, and numbers to do the job properly? The administration is the one who have failed our troops, not those who opposed sending them into a rushed, poorly planned war without a broad level of international support and assistance both militarily and financially. ____________________________________________________ Will is right, however, he left something out. With our troops tied down in Iraqnam Saudia Aradia gets more unsable by the day. The Wahibi (sp?) sect of Islam is very scarry.

So where is this place and what's it like?

Sounds cool. Hopefuly the wether will be good.

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome- plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

Ah, the good old days!

Quit bitching and send in your $ now.

Don't forget about Cedar Halow. There is some new trail over in the SW corner of the park,

Wanted to go skiing but the wether sucked. (Great to see it raining and snowing again). Saturday - jonthomp and I went mountain biking at Fort Ebey State Park. Awsome trails with great switch backs in and out of the kettles. If you haven't been there yet you should go. We rode till we couldn't for a total of 16 miles. Sunday - Lunch with grandma and then Folklife. Great music and sunshine. Monday - 55 mile roaad ride. Verry little trafiic today.

Any good vomit pics?

I AM CALLING BULLSHIT ON THE LATEST TERROR ALERT!!!! I SAW THE STATE PATROL WASTING THEIR TIME AND OUR MONEY ON THE FERRY TODAY!! THEY SHOULD BE CATCHING SPEEDERS, DRUNKS AND AGRESSIVE DRIVERS!!! AS A CYCLIST I AM MORE LIKLEY TO GET KILLED BY A DRUNK THAN A TERRORIST.

The new snw will suck for skiing. By next weekend it will be setteled and worth skiing. I would be up for skiing, I have never skied in June.

Wether got you down? Don't want to head east with everone else? Join us at Fort Eby State Park for 4 hours of awsome trail riding. Meet at the gun battery parking lot about 9:15. Awsome trails in the rain shadow of the Olympics. Ney MisterE do you ride that bike or are you just trying to look cool with it on top of your van?

Did Pandora blow you off?

Yo Dave, you could take the train.

Hey MisterE get a job you hoser!

Mountain biking!

They had a video of this playing at the video store the other day. People where standing in the middle of the store watchin it. It was wild.

When I was a bike mesenger I got totaly sick of the bums. They would bug me for $ and ask to barrow my bike. I was afraid to vent my frustration on them because I was afraid they would mess with my bike. The new Seattle Library will be a great daytiime shelter for them.
