HURRICANE KATRINA SUCKEDA link to the web page of Dr. Ben Marble, the "Go F' Yourself Mr. Cheney" guy from the other day. If you haven't seen the video and want to own a copy of his personal footage, be sure to visit his
eBay auction (
VIA Brilliant At Breakfast). Proceeds will help him replace some of what was lost. (A bit too rich for my blood, but I wish him well!)
As
Jill so eloquently puts it:
"All Marble was doing was echoing the words Cheney used when talking to Sen. Patrick Leahy on the floor of the Senate. He uttered the now-famous words, then walked away. AND HE WAS FOLLOWED BACK TO HIS HOUSE. He made no threat, he did nothing to hurt the Dickster. But for VOICING HIS OPINION, he was handcuffed and detained.
This is Bush's America, folks. Now we are a country in which a man with a newborn baby whose home has been destroyed is detained by military police simply for voicing his opinion at one of the leaders WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR US. Marble now joins Sue Niederer as an American who has been held by Bush Administration goons for exercising his/her First Amendment right to protest.
But of course Bush doesn't care about the constitution, nor does Cheney. They peed on it a long time ago."
