More Code Pink-ery in Northern Virginia; And a Question for Medea

Just when we thought it was safe to wear pink in Virginia again...

Medea Benjamin and crew came baaaaaack.... not to slip a few hacksaws to their new pet, alleged Wikileaker Bradley Manning (currenly living in the Quantico Marine Corps Brig); but to stage another impromptu street theater demo at the home of  a local defense contractor. I barely remember who they picked this time... someone from the Raytheon Dynasty?... the SAIC brothers?... Joe the Janitor who sweeps the Pentagon D-Ring on Tuesdays? Oh, yeah; it was Erik Prince's house *yawn.*

Code Pink co-founder and Street-Thespian-in-Chief Medea Benjamin was arrested for trespassing inside Prince's house just a few days ago. She mistakenly was allowed in, apparently, and quickly was ejected. She then hung out on the front steps, writing a note and making a video - with stuff she just happened to have handy - while waiting for the cops to come get her. I called Medea and talked to her about the incident. She insists she didn't plan to get hauled off in the back of a squad car. The arrest just sort of happened in the course of delivering and photographing a sign on private property. "I was flabbergasted how easy it was to get into the property," Medea said. And she wasn't afraid of the police. Still, the getting-handcuffed part must have been dreadful, Or maybe she thought it was fun; who knows? The cop who carted her off was kinda cute.

But, seriously. Medea, you obviously have almost as much energy as my BFF, Concrete Bob (he's the one who arranged your ejection from the front gates of Walter Reed). Can you please do something productive with your oomph? Wade into D.C., for instance, and march against the drug lords who've held sections of the nation's capital hostage for years? Oops, I forgot. Might be a conflict of interest. Nice pic, BTW, of you with your BFF, Hugo Chavez.

Update: I've had a question about the "other woman" in this threesome. According to my research, she is Elaine Broadhead, an heiress with too much cash and not enough brains at her disposal. She is a longtime Leftist agit-ista affiliated with the allegedly anarchist Ruckus Society. The Ruckus folks are not really anarchists, though. They pay lip-service to environmentalist causes, but I view that as a cover for their true mission of destabilizing Western governments and supporting Leftist regimes. Interesting to note that Ruckus plays a version of Ying to Blackwater's Yang, and runs a series of training camps for operatives. To my knowledge, Ruckus doesn't have a rifle range or an armory; but I'm told that if you pay close attention around the campfire, you might pick up the finer points of politics in the extreme, Chicago-7 style.
