Protests in Sydney

Our fellow protesters in Australia were out to welcome vampire cheney to town on Friday. And things got rough with the Aussie police, which seems totally uncalled for (but, if you want to see examples of really horrible human behavior, look at my other blogs). Earlier today, there were pictures from Australia that showed people being pushed into police wagons, and there are reports of people being taken to hospital from this protest. Also, there are pictures of real fools who actually think cheney is a good man.

And plenty of pictures of cheney looking like a vampire.
