Early this morning a group of students and young professionals concerned about the fate of humanity borrowed the facade of one of New York City's most stunning landmarks, The Plaza Hotel in Central Park. They hung a 2400 square foot banner that had two giant arrows pointing in opposite directions. The top arrow said TRUTH; the bottom one said BUSH. This was truly a nonviolent shot heard round the world.

The action was a media feeding frenzy. And because of the stark simplicity of their message, it got through loud and clear. I've gotten at least 10 phone calls from folks in the RED states that were flabbergasted to see someone publicly question our Commander-in-Chief's veracity on the television news. What will all the Wall Street corporate raiders think when they have to witness this audacious act in the Journal tomorrow?

I'm sure glad that Ruckus had nothing to do with this--although the climbers left us with a hell of a hotel tab!
