Happy Birthday John (Who Would Have Been 71 & Is Here in Spirit)

I was listening to Elliot Smith sing "Jealous Guy" and noticed a headline about Paul's wedding, then realized it was John's birthday.

Pentagon & War Spending vs All Other Areas

First Day Photos from Occupy Wall St Minneapolis Edition

I cycled downtown after work and took these photos at the Hennepin County Government Center plaza in downtown Minneapolis. I've been taking photos of anti-war events since Senator Paul Wellstone passed away and I didn't recognize but one of the many participants.  Many that I spoke with  told me it was their first protest.  

Because I had my bike, I couldn't be very creative with my photo framing.  I did capture a variety of signs that I believe reflect our frustrations.  I glanced at the Star Tribune coverage and had few signs among the photos I saw posted. Click on a photo to see a larger version.  Enjoy.  

It's obvious these protesters didn't collaborate on their sign making.  One lists 44 million Americans 

in poverty and the other claims 46 million. 

This photo below contains my favorite sign: "At least the war against the middle class is going well."

This photo shows a chalk drawing (and my bike made a cameo appearance on the left)

I was all packed up and riding away when I saw Coleen Rowley's large banner signs off in the distance.  I returned and took this photo. The persons holding them told me she is in DC.  


 

This last photo has memorable quotes from giants of our past.
