Washington D.C. is a riot zone today, as Code Pink lefty protesters and various other George Washington and Georgetown University douchebags are protesting the Iraq War. On its birthday, of all times! We’ll be checking out some of these fun, artful protests later today, but feel free to send us any wonderful operative pix you take on your own! Otherwise, enjoy this video of Code Pink’s anti-war “freeze-in” at Union Station yesterday afternoon. It will take a nation of simulated mannequins to stop this war. [YouTube via Nikolas Schiller]

Tomorrow marks the fifth anniversary of our glorious Iraq War, and naturally there are those liberals who still want to stop Freedom while it’s on the March. A whole slate of protests are planned for D.C. tomorrow, and they each have adorable little protest themes, like “Funk the War” and “March of the Dead.” Some protesters will be violent, some will be invading your offices, some will just be. Taken as a whole, however, the planned riots should disrupt traffic just enough to convince the oily Fat Cats to end all Iraq wars immediately. After the jump, a memo with many or all of the planned protests. MORE »

Fears of a massive rat & roach spring swarm have crippled much of the District this evening as horrified office workers and other war profiteers watch major thoroughfares blocked off by mounted police while 20-foot-tall “rat proofing” concrete barriers are raised from Georgetown to Foggy Bottom. Law enforcement officials are keeping quiet about the real reasons for the horror stampede, and many locals fear for their lives. What the living hell is going on? MORE »

Our Hart Senate Office Building operative writes: “In progress! Code Pinkers and a giant octopus spotted!” The operative has been ordered to send a picture of the giant octopus in question, alive, OR SHE IS FIRED FROM THE INTERNET.

Today was the big Abortion Thingy on The Mall! Yay! Since my day job is right in the middle of it, I decided to go all photojournalisty on you. And what did I learn? First of all, these people couldn’t possibly be whiter. Also: What they lack in spelling skills, they make up for in juvenile voter fraud! Plus, of course, there were Paultards. To quote John Waters, I wish I were a girl so that I could get an abortion! More pictures after the jump…

It’s safe to say New Orleans has some housing problems these days, as in, people need housing and there isn’t any. The city planned on demolishing 4,500 public housing units today to help that situation and, in response, opponents planned a large protest outside of City Hall. At some point the police must have gotten a little uneasy because they shut the City Hall gates. The protesters broke through and so, naturally, the police beat the living shit out of them. More, plus some video, after the jump. MORE »

The big news in fake diplomacy today is Condi’s Middle East peace conference, which held talks in Annapolis, MD this morning between Israel, Palestine, Syria and some other horribly screwed places. It just so happens that this Wonkette editor is living in Annapolis until December, so what a coinky-dink! I went down and took some pictures of the protesters, which included Code Pink, a guy who looks like Santa Claus, some old ladies and various anti-Semites. Check out the gallery, the aesthetics of which are sure to bring peace to all troubled nations across the globe.

Al Shapton, Martin Luther King III, Steve Harvey, Tom Joiner and likely every last member of the Congressional Black Caucus are all in the process of protesting the Justice Department for not pursuing hate crimes with more fervor. They are mad about the noose that was found on a Columbia prof’s door, the Jena 6 case, and recent news reports that the Justice Department has been focusing its attention on religious discrimination more than racial. This protest follows on the heels of massive protests after 9/11 to stand up against discrimination against Muslim-Americans and the coming together of a similarly large group to protest the demagoguing of Latino immigration for political… Oh, wait. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Sorry. [CNN, ABC News, Wikipedia, International Herald Tribune]
