Oh fun. Today there will be a slew of protests to mark the sixth year we've been blowing shit up in Iraq. Demonstrations will take place all over the Bay Area. At noon you can hear poets reading at the Montgomery BART station. At 4 p.m., Iraq Veterans Against War will "demonstrate their concerns" at Civic Center. And last but not least, the Raging Grannies will lead a sing-along in Palo Alto at Lytton Plaza at 5:30 p.m.

The largest demonstration ("The International Day of Action on 6th Anniversary of Iraq War") will take place on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco.

Oh, and the Berkeley Marine recruiting office was vandalized this morning. Of course.
