Today I received my semi-weekly Code Pink email. Honestly, they bring much mirth into my otherwise staid existence. And believe you me, I need some mirth today. (I am putting the evils of drink and fast women behind me, as of today, you read it here first.) Anyway, today’s missive came with the title:<\/p>\n

A Million Knockers for Peace<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, any thought that this would be 500,000 attractive women doing that “Breasts not Bombs” thing is immediately dispensed with when you stop to remember this is Code Pink. [Insert your own shudder here.]<\/p>\n

Anyway:<\/p>\n

Dear TSO you sexy bastard you,<\/p>\n

September 11 reminds us not only of the tragic events of 2001 but also how Bush’s post-attack strategy has squandered so many lives and resources. While the Bush administration closed the door on those who advocated an alternative response, we now have an opportunity to open doors, the doors in our neighborhoods, as part of an unprecedented effort to knock on A Million Doors for Peace.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, September 20, we invite you to join CODEPINK and our allies from 18 peace and justice organizations across the country as we engage our neighbors and ask them to sign a petition urging the next Congress to bring our troops home within a year. We hope to reach one million citizens who long for peace but are unsure how to work toward it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow is that a “liberace and N’sync together in a hot tub listening to Boy George” level gay idea. Seriously. I hope you come to my house. You know, when I am watching college football to cleanse the knowledge that I have insufficiently longed for peace and am unsure how to work for it.<\/p>\n

Thank you for opening your own doors for peace!
\nAlicia, Anne, Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, Rae and Tighe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t you dare show up at my house without Midge, the Code Pink transgendered Peace Activist. Atleast s\/he is a Navy Veteran.

For the record, on the list of scary things to TSO, “seeing half a million naked Code Pink activists” comes right after “Seeing Tom Brady blow out his ACL in the first 7 minutes of the season” and right before “Being forced to see Sex in the City in order to get lucky.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
