Orwell returns from hiatus with something a little different -- cinema verite from the streets of San Francisco. The occasion was a rally on the sixth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war (which, of course, is really the 18th anniversary of the US war against Iraq's people).
Not surprisingly, the attendance was dismal, the Iraq war being over and all.
Think about this: Six months from now, there will be more US troops deployed in combat than at any time during George Bush's administration. (Iraq troops go down about 12,000 while 21,000 go to Afghanistan.)
Populist rage can currently be found on the cover of Time magazine.
