The blogosphere carries word of the May 26 deployment of Kvatch's
Kommandos, small plastic army men attached to anti-Iraq war messages, to
be left in public places all around the country. "Let's make this a
movement that will get noticed," says one organizer. The online
conversation that follows includes regrets from one would-be participant:
"I wanted to do it but my little plastic soldiers are being sent to the
border to guard our country from being invaded by brown people."
P.S.: Alejandro, political cartoonist in the Fairmount Elementary
newsletter, reflects on George Bush's checklist as dictated to Dick
Cheney. This includes directions to bomb Iraq, "cheat in the election" and
"erase my test scores from college." They've got a budding Herblock there.
