“END THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ.” So reads a large chalking on Bascom Hill, visible from my UW Law School window. I’ve often wondered at the lack of peace rallies in Madison, Wisconsin. If Iraq is like Vietnam to a lot of people, why haven’t we seen anti-war demonstrations? Well, somebody is trying to get one going today at 1 p.m. in Library Mall. Presumably, it’s an attempt to channel the energy left over from the Kerry defeat in the presidential election. I’ll stop by the rally and report back later.

UPDATE: That’s 1 p.m. on Saturday, so I’ll have to get back to you later than I’d thought. Sorry. I hope I haven’t been misunderstanding things all day. I did not get enough sleep. Did you?
