Ace of Spades ends his post on the pro democracy demonstrations in Lebanon with this little stab from the past.
As others have remarked: Not In Our Name? That's right, it's not in your name.
I almost forgot about them. Things haven't been going all that well for the "Not in Our Name" crowd lately. It's tough when the news doesn't break in your favor, and it hasn't for them in a quite a while. Of course, it's not as if MSM hasn't been trying. But a visit to the Not in Our Name website reveals,
Urgent appeal: "We need to raise $10,000 by the end of March to keep our doors open"
Tough break, but listen to the wording that begins the appeal.
Greetings to those of you who have been by our sides since day one, and to those who have recently joined us.
It doesn't strike me as American Main Street idiom. My guess is it's only the very hard core left that remain, and it's hard to imagine anybody has recently joined them. In any case, for those of you who haven't forgotten about "Not in Our Name", there's still time. So go ahead. Forget about 'em.
