			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kim and I attended our first protest!  It was pretty exciting, the official turn out was 1,200 at the Seattle Tea Party.  Olympia was the big one for the state at about 5,000.  I was even caught in a picture posted on <a href="http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=193" target="_blank">The Boze Blog</a>.  (Dave Boze is one of my favorite local talk hosts.)</p>

<p>You can&#8217;t see much of me, but I&#8217;m there.  Kim is to my right and you can see her hair and sunglasses too <img src='http://www.dpyoung.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The organizers were collecting for the Northwest Harvest food pantry.  We thought that was a nice touch.  We can take care of our own much better than the government can.</p>
<p>Cut the pork!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another frustrating day at work, doing stuff that should be done by others&#8230;  I&#8217;d better not get started.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I&#8217;ll get a chance to head down to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.syracusehabitat.org/">Habitat</a> after work.  They need some network help, and some computers to inspect.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDBhMzg5Mzk4NjQ5MjM5OTJhZjRjMWQ4OWMzNDhmMzk=">This</a> is a good article, depressing though.  And, if you agree with it, infuriating. <a target="_blank" href="http://victorhanson.com/">Victor</a> is my hero.</p>
<p>In related news, Kim was telling me that she heard about a shooting in Seattle.  At the time I wondered why it was remarkable enough for the national news.  It <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/nation/15182716.htm">seems</a> like some unsavory (to say the least) fellow shot workers at the Jewish Federation offices in Seattle.  He kidnapped a 14-year-old girl, killed Pamela Waechter, and wounded 5 others.  All alleged of course (to be arraigned on the 10th), but he turned himself in at the scene of the crime.  He says it was a political statement.  I should mention that he proclaimed his distaste of American foreign policy and demanded we leave Iraq. So an angry Muslim shoots some Jews to make a point, great&#8230; I have a lot to say, but my mother reads this.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m mad.  Go read Victor&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDBhMzg5Mzk4NjQ5MjM5OTJhZjRjMWQ4OWMzNDhmMzk=">article</a>.</p>
