...about how patriotic is the voice of dissent. I can't link it now, as I'm on a tight schedule, but I'll try to do it later. It talks about the huge numbers of protesters who came out around the world at the same time on the same day in February and about how our government has discounted them as aging flower children, liberal professors, B-list actors--all of them uninformed and unenlightened.
By the way, Picasso's "Guernica" at the UN has been covered in a blue curtain. It appears on Harpers cover and on the New Yorker's cover (with a red curtain). The reason? It might have been embarrassing for Colin Powell to have his picture taken in front of that painting. (I guess it's a prime photo-op spot.)
