I witnessed the reading of the names of Iraq's war dead at Union Square yesterday. It took hours, and took place against a visual backdrop of a thousand pairs of combat boots and shoes, each labeled with a soldier's name. It was incredibly moving, but did it make the news? Not really, as it doesn't really fit into the 20 second clips that they stuff in between the advertising. Sigh.

Although fatigue is creeping up on me, today may be the most important day of protests. There will be events in Harlem (2PM), and the Garden (7PM), and Union Square (veterans vigial all day; candlelight gathering after 8PM). I'll look for you there.
