New update from Will Pitt
Thursday 11 August 2005
12:55 AM

It is close to one in the morning here, and the threat appears to have passed. Anyone who has been on edge over this should understand the tension. These folks are on the edge of things out here, and the cops plus the flat bed tow truck made for ominous feelings.

Good news: Cindy will be on the cover of People Magazine. Time and Vanity Fair will interview her tomorrow. How many millions of readers do those magazines have?

Lots of millions.

To repeat, we are standing down for the time being.

3. Im telling you..
Bush is sleeping peacefully. I really dont think they are taking her seriously, or they would have arrested them for protesting without a permit on day one.

9. Well they should;
'cause it's gonna get ugly and by the weekend virtually unstoppable.
Beginning to think they might just be that cocky (I know; I know..)

10. Not taking her seriously?
She is going to be on the cover of People, and interviewed in Time and Vanity Fair.

He can't ignore her (she's not going away). Everyday the groundswell gets bigger. She's turning into a PR nightmare, and his ratings were already in the toilet.

If he's sleeping peacefully, it's thanks to a few Xanax he nipped from Laura's bottle...

13. Chimpy's brain fails completely at around 9PM and he becomes comatose
for several hours. Then it allows him to walk, repeat meaningless phrases, and feed himself. At that point he's perfectly functional so long as he is not challenged by the complexities involved in riding a bicycle in traffic or on dirt, mounting a Segway with an on-off switch, or eating prezels while watching a particularly complicated cartoon.

11. Great, she'll be at everyone's checkout line at the supermarket.
That's got to be more exposure than network news.

15. I'll be awake
I'll sleep later. I just can't sleep knowing what might be happening out there. I just don't know how quickly it will get online if they do get nabbed at 4 AM.

16. Thursday 11 August 2005 - Will Pitt
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 01:19 AM by Not_Giving_Up

It is after one and the concerns have passed. We are packing it in for the night, again. Cindy is telling stories and the others are slowly drifting back to their tents.

We will be here first thing in the morning for the arrival of Condi and Rummy and we will do this all over again.

Question for the night: Who will get arrested first, Cindy or Osama?

Hm.

Good night.

21. My husband is out of town and my kids have school
I don't have anyone that I can leave them with. I'm supposed to go to Austin Sunday for the Chris Bell kickoff, but I might be able to talk hubby into changing plans. Before he went out of town, he said he didn't want to be anywhere near Crawford.
