Report From Camp Casey
Today was an exciting day at Camp Casey. The camp was absolutely humming with activity as we all came together in the name of peace to stop this war for oil.
Early this morning we had a somber ceremony symbolizing the return to Mother Earth of the Iraqi oil stolen by Halliburton. After sampling some awesome Tai sticks, several of us poured a case of Quaker State 10W30 back into the earth while singing songs of restoration. Just as we were concluding our ceremony, some goons from the EPA showed up and tried to arrest us. We tried to explain that we were just giving the earth back her oil, but they had obviously been sent by Dick Cheney to silence us. Luckily we were able to slip away as their attention was diverted by the clouds of smoke coming up from the MoveOn.org “Blazing Bongs For Peace” party.
The highlight of the day was a visit by the greatest president this country has every known, William Jefferson Clinton. Imagine my excitement when he told Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) he wished to personally visit with ME! There were many things I wished to share with him, not the least of which was my ideas on getting our troops out of Iraq and disbanding the army.
As we sat down to talk I felt a little faint due to the heat and he was nice enough to get me a Pepsi and an Advil or something. We started to chat but I guess the heat must have got to me because the next thing I knew I woke up 6 hours later behind a creosote bush with my pants on backward, reeking of Aqua Velva and no sign of Bill.
Even though we didn't get the chance to discuss the war, I'll always remember his kind compliment that I "had a tight butt for a white girl". He truly is a gentleman.
I've gotta go to the first aid tent now and get this weird rash looked at.
More later.
