CLAM UP!

Filed under: Humor,War and Peace — semi @ 6:51 pm

Another group that takes a more irreverent approach to peaceful protest is Clams for Peace, a website that advocates, well, sending a box of clams to the White House in order to convince “President” Bush to, uh … think about, um, something.

I’ll let them speak for themselves:

In the 1950’s, tens of thousands of people sent small bags of rice to President Eisenhower convincing him not to attack China. It’s a new millennium with the same problems, rice is for suckers, clams are the choice of a new generation about to head off to war. We urge you the public to grab a box, grab some clams, and send them to George Bush to let him know that “hey this is a box of clams, deal with this Chimpy.”

There you go. And remember: If you send no clams, you are all for children being shot in the knee caps and being left for dead!!!

BILL PASSAGE

Filed under: People,Politics — semi @ 6:13 pm

I saw the President of the United States on Larry King Live last night. He spoke forcefully about the necessity for the the U.S. to work with the United Nations on building a global alliance for peace and security, especially in Iraq and North Korea. He spoke movingly about AIDS in Africa, and how we need to do more to relieve suffering. He had thoughtful things to say about tax reform, international relations, moral authority, and the shuttle tragedy. He was erudite, relaxed, commanding, and inspiring. The President I am talking about is, of course, Bill Clinton.

You can see a transcript of the interview here.

You can hear a five-year-old parody (too many Monica jokes) of Larry King interviewing President Clinton here.
