Busy week planned

If you don’t normally read this blog on weekends, you’re going to miss a lot of stuff this weekend. Today I’ll be attending Winter Soldier II with my buddy Thus Spake Ortner from The Sniper. We’ll be live-blogging today’s theater while sitting back-to-back starting at about 9 Am until the whole thing ends tonight. In a conversation with one of the event organizers last night I was told some of the other folks who’d planned on covering the event dropped out because of the drama in the earlier part of the week as covered by Michele Malkin. I was assured that we’ll have a security detail assigned to us and that our safety is guaranteed, though.

Other bloggers to watch today are my buddy Robin at Chickenhawk Express and Denis Keohane at Obiter Dictum, who has done a fabulous job prepping the rest of us on background of Winter Soldier I and the IVAW testimony up until this point. Another blog to watch for the latest is Blackfive.

I’ll do my best to get photos and videos of the counterprotesters from Gathering of Eagles and Eagles UP who plan on being outside the National Labor College on New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Springs, Maryland (where Winter Soldier II is being conducted) to let Americans know that there are some of us who are still fairly rational.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the rally for the troops on the National Mall to be sponsored by Gathering of Eagles, Eagles Up and several other organizations who’ve come into DC last night to counter IVAW’s presence and I’ll have narrative, pictures and videos of that event up sometime late Saturday. I also hope to meet some of the readers of this blog who’ve emailed me that they’ll be there.

Wednesday, is ANSWER’s “Day of Action” here in DC starting at about 7:30 AM (they say). ANSWER plans to block recruiting stations, traffic, and just generally pester people trying to make a living in the K Street area all to mark the five year anniversary of the invasion of Hussein’s Iraq. As usual, I’ll be there and document as much of it as I can and that’ll probably be up Wednesday afternoon.

So you’ll want to keep one eye on this blog over the next week (mostly because the Left has trouble telling time and starting events when they’re scheduled). I’ll cover as much of the action as one guy can and it’ll all be here on the blog.
