Your Much-Anticipated Code Pink Update

When this whole thing first flared-up about 3 months ago, we were pretty confident the Marines would be able to handle it without any meddlesome “help” from Congress or anyone else for that matter. (Our thoughts on the subject at the time, here). Turns out, we were right because nothing says “flagging enthusiasm” like witchcraft. The 'Pinkers have resorted to casting spells and encouraging protesters to show up in pointy hats because.... because... they're running out of ideas to make asses of themselves? (no word yet on the appearance of mimes or magicians as that would certainly be the death knell for Code Pink as an organization).

And proving the adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity, this particular recruiting office has actually benefited from this harassment at the hands of the unwashed and unshaven. Here’s Captain John Paul Wheatcroft who runs the store:

"Ironically, it's actually helped us by putting our name out. We're now well known. And people know who we are, and where we are, and they come in to talk to us about enlisting. They've gotten us the publicity that we could've never afforded to pay for ourselves," Story here.

That is perhaps the most heartwarming and uplifting message we’ve heard in days. So inspirational, in fact, we post what is quite possibly the most excellent 5 minutes in television history. We saw it first over at Foxfier’s place and same video was forwarded to us just today by friends. It’s gotta be a sign, right?
