Protest Blogging

I was reading www.news.google.com this morning and came across this article 'Soldiers Mother Takes Protest to Bloggers' .

This women is camping outside Bush's ranch in Texas in the hope of getting an audience with him, what exactly she wants to say to him that she thinks will make a difference, I dont know.
As interesting as this is, I dont think it's going to be as affective as shes hoping. Either way, I think she's pretty innovative to use blogging networks to spread her story.

On a slightly related issue, my younger brother has been given a school project of forming a politcal party, designing its logo, annalysing the other party strengths ans weaknesses and giving reasons why his party will work. I think this is some secret plan to get ideas for improving the current state of affairs in SA. To sum it up, all political parties in SA are a joke, any opposition would probably be a good opposition, as I dont think its possible to be worse than what we already have. When your mininster of health tells the nation to eat more herbs and garlic to cure HIV what are we supposed to think? Maybe if the government rewarded the politicians with bananas and stopped promoting them to ridiculous posts, we may see some good stuff happening, I mean what else makes a monkey happy?

(If you're offended by any of this, you obviously take my blog too seriously)
