Code Pink irks man from Effingham


For a moment, the guy in the cap yelling at the people holding anti-war signs, sounded like some kind of peace-loving motivational coach: ("Hold those signs up higher, maggots." "Sir, yes sir!") But the torrent of abusive language he was dishing out made it clear that he was no friend of "Code Pink"--or peace in Iraq. However, after having his photo snapped a few times, he snapped out of it, and became more civil. We walked down the street and exchanged opinions, and he departed peacefully. He is studying to be a Science teacher in Effingham, a tool of the state, an effing hammer.
