RNC Update 9 An Incredible Day By Starhawk Three quarters of a million people marched today in New York City. That's NPR's estimate. The New York Times estimated 500,000, but called it "The biggest protest ever at a political convention, the most emphatic ever, the biggest protest NYC has seen in decades, and rivaling the 1982 rally in Central Park." It was an amazing day, long and hot and sweaty and with moments of tension, but overall just wonderful. I started early meeting with ot ...

New York Post [Page Six] - August 29, 2004 SECRETS OF UNIONS'S RAT ARMY DO you ever wonder where those giant inflatable rats in front of non-union work sites around town come from? It turns out the huge plastic rodents are made and sold by a Plainfield, Illinois-based company, Big Sky Balloons and Searchlights, that isn't even a union shop. Big Sky's rats, which can cost up to $5,000, range in size from a timid 6 feet tall to a traffic-stopping 25 feet. And they're a huge hit with local organize ...

New York Post - August 29, 2004 SEX-CRAZED SECRETS OF BADGE-LUST 'BUNNIES' By AL GUART They can't resist a man in uniform and usually keep a low profile. But a so-called "badge bunny" from Staten Island who boasted of bedding up to 300 cops and firefighters since the 9/11 attacks has thrust women who lust for men with uniforms and badges into the spotlight. Scores of them can be found on a handful of Web sites, where they entice lawmen with nude photos and lurid fantasies and set up ki ...

Haaretz - August 29, 2004 The beginning of the start of the end By Gideon Levy How long can the costume ball go on? How long can we pretend the spit in our faces is rain?
