THE CRACKEDEST POTS:

In Oregon, an eight-year antiwar protest: The day the Afghanistan war began in 2001, several dozen people held a candlelight vigil in Corvallis, Ore. Every afternoon since, the protest has continued. (Kim Murphy, October 18, 2009, LA Times)

On Oct. 7, the day after bombs began falling on Kabul and Jalalabad, several dozen people got together and held a candlelight vigil against the war in Afghanistan.

The next day, Beilstein stood with an antiwar sign outside the Benton County courthouse. Two other people showed up with signs of their own.

The next day, more protesters came.

Since then, a war has started in Iraq, a new president has been installed in the White House, and the Taliban has been beaten back, only to regroup.

Yet in Corvallis, they're still saying no to the war in Afghanistan.

Here the nutters stand at the Ledyard Bridge, between NH and VT, with signs insisting on an investigation into 9-11 too.
