Petition To Keep the Blue Angels Out Of San Francisco

Michelle pointed out a petition being circulated electronically to keep the Navy's Blue Angels from flying in San Francisco and disturbing the flower children with the nasty zoom-zoom-gun-boom sounds.

Signatures lapsed for a while, but several people have signed it starting today, August 13, coincidentally the same day that Michelle linked it...

People like Ward Churchill, Ron Paul, Your Black Muslim Bakery's Yusuf Bey IV, Adam Gadahn, and Che Che, who said:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn’t understand why the Blue Angels were flying over when so many things are wrong in this country. “Doesn’t Mr. Bush care about us anymore?” she asked pitifully.

I found myself at such a loss for words—nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, “Honey, I just don’t know—I don’t know what’s going on in this country anymore . . .”

When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, “Daddy” she said, “why are the Republicans doing this to the country?” Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.

For once she had to comfort me and get me back on my feet. Sometimes I just think it’s too much, but seeing the strength in my young daughter’s voice helped me to get through.
