Let Them Eat Pepper Spray
While smartass Pitch writers bemoan the spinelessness of protesters today, the police state atmosphere surrounding almost every outburst of free speech grows. Miami protesters who spoke out against the FTAA were greeted with $8.5 million in "preventative measures" designed to cower the most mild-mannered Americans into submission.

Which Democrat Has Political Courage?
It was perhaps a measure of the strangeness of last night's Democratic debate that Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the candidate who wants to withdraw from Iraq and create a Department of Peace, kicked Ted Koppel's ass.
