Plowshares: Boing Boing mentions a Plowshares action by Greg Boertje-Obed, Carl Kabat, and Michael Walli. They hammered on a silo and spread their blood about while dressed as clowns.
If I could Update my comment on Boing Boing, it would read:
. . . hammering on a missile silo is meant to be
purelya symbolic act.

Scott: You’re doing pretty good—I met him once for ten minutes!

Claire: I think I met Carl Kabat once. He’s always in jail.
Homeless bloggers: BB also highlights an article about homeless bloggers. I know several homeless folks who use the internet, and we had one guy staying at the Catholic Worker last month who had an entire desktop computer in a huge totebag. (He was able to use our household wireless network.) Anyone aware of homeless folks blogging in Worcester County?
