In Kalamazoo the event began in 2 places at Veterans Park, and also in front of the Kalamazoo Federal Building. While there was not a large count of warm bodies for this cold February day, there was a warm reception from several passing cars. Occupy Kalamazoo remains supportive in calling for justice for the young military private, (as we’ll as relevant case for Wikileaks founder Assange).
Here are some video reports from the action:

05/27/09: Is it ever okay to tell a lie? Maybe mess around a little with it, just so people know you're okay? I think so. I do what I can to get by without explanation.

This is an original saying from my best friend's father. :)
Based on sayings from Demotivators.
Can anyone else think of a funny or better saying?
Al haq qabil kull shay-in. Another treatment of the same phrase, this time with decorations on the lettering and flowers in the bare bits.
I like this phrase: the truth before everything. This has meaning on many levels: being true to yourself, being true to your religion, speaking the truth, and putting god before everything - because Al Haq is one of the 99 names of Allah.
I got the phrase from yucefs.artbismillah.org, who is an amazingly talented graphic designer and calligrapher; but the calligraphic design is entirely mine.
I wish I had thicker pens because it would be nice to have "Al haq" (the bit on top) in thicker strokes, but I make do with what I have.
As of August 2009 I have realised that people may do the design first in pencil and then go over it in ink. This is not surprising - that was how we were taught in art class for Western calligraphy, because you don't know how much space you will need otherwise.
This was done without any pencil preparation, and I don't draw lines to help me keep the text straight (it seems to be fairly straight anyway). The most challenging bit is to try to get the characters split up across lines in a logical way, since I don't know enough Arabic to be sure of what I'm doing, and transliterations on the Internet often run several words together.
It's been a challenge trying to fit everything properly into a sheet of paper but I don't have much of a choice - the inks seem to smudge if I try going over them with an eraser. Minor mistakes can be fixed with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Microsoft Paint (I don't have Photoshop), but with major mistakes I just start over with a fresh sheet of paper.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EURO-ARMY THREAT TO NATO
Commentary by Trevor Kavanagh Sun Political Editor. December 6, 2000
We expect double-crossing Robin Cook to tell porkies.
It's the only way he can hang onto his job as Foreign Secretary.
And we'd be disappointed if his deputy Keith Vaz - the slippery Vaz - did not set out deliberately to mislead us each time he opened his mouth.
After all, he opposed the infamous Maastricht Treaty - and called for a referendum so that Britain could dump it.But we tend to believe Tony Blair, who says he is an "honest kind of guy", when he promises there are no plans for a European army.
Indeed, in a recent poll, half the nation backed plans for a 60,000 strong EU Rapid Reaction Force under orders from Brussels - so long as it did not undermine NATO.
There were no plans for a standing army, Mr Blair told us.
Now we have the truth - from EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels.
They want to leave Britain out of a fast-track operation which would give Europe its own defence force - separate from NATO.
The move, which caught Robin Cook with his pants down, sparked instant consternation in the White House.American defence secretary William Cohen warned it could be the end of NATO, the cornerstone of European defence for 50 years.
"Too many questions remain unanswered," he told NATO defence ministers in Brussels yesterday. NATO could become a relic of the past. That's not something that the US desires."
But he warned the 19 NATO member states to keep an eye open for the "warning flags."
He added: "If we have a competing institution that would be inconsistent with military effectiveness, NATO could be weakened."
As the Sun warned when the row exploded last month, America is deeply suspicious of French moves to drive a wedge between Brussels and Washington.
US defence chiefs have accused French officers of leaking secret bombing plans to Milosevic regime during the battle to save Kosovo.
They believe it was a tip-off from a French informer that led to the spectacular downing of a Stealth bomber over Belgrade.
And they vow they will severe exchanges of vital intelligence with Britain if there is any chance of it falling into French hands.Mr Blair and the faithful Mr Cook denied all this.
They insisted there was no plan to build a rival to NATO, despite German admissions that the new Rapid Reaction Force would be able to strike deep into hostile territory up to 2,500 miles from Brussels.
Now we know the truth. France, Germany and Italy have pulled a flanker on Britain under which countries who have signed up to the euro would be able to set up their own military operations.
At an explosive meeting in Brussels last Sunday, Mr Cook vowed to block any move in a new treaty at the EU summit in Nice, which starts tomorrow.
The bust-up is a bitter blow for ministers who believed one poll suggesting the public supported a European army.Last night a new ICM survey revealed the truth- 56 per cent oppose any move that puts British troops under orders from Brussels. Only 30 per cent increase.
Tory defence spokesman Iain Duncan Smith said: "Tony Blair cannot dupe the British public when national security is at stake."
