Here’s an interesting phone post entry for you:

Right now I am marching down whatever road this is that leads from Arlington Cemetery, and I just got done interpreting the first half of the Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace protests. A friend of mind had contacted me about it and asked if I’d be willing to interpret, and I was willing to do it pro bono ’cause I thought they were a small organization, but they’re going to try to get me a hundred dollars, but they’ll at least get me fifty, which is really cool.

The press was extremely annoying, though. We’re heading for the White House now, and if there’s a larger stage - the stage was only big enough for one person, really, here at the Women’s Memorial, so I couldn’t - I was below everybody else. But if the stage at the White House on the Ellipse is big enough I’m going to have to get up on it because I just can’t stand all those cameras. People were - one large camera actually touched me in the back of the head, and I turned around and snapped at him. I snapped at a lot of them. *chuckle*
There’s a motorcycle police escort, there’s also a set of horses - policemen on horses, and I’ve heard that there are counterprotesters somewhere along the way. So it should be interesting.

I’m really glad I came out to do this.
