Good move, WaPo

'Wash Post' Cuts Ties to Pentagon Event After Protests. In case you haven't been paying attention, the Defense Department is sponsoring a fascistic, pro-war "Freedom Walk" next month, ostensibly to support the troops and "commemorate" 9/11 [check out the PR infested Freedom Walk website, if you dare]. The Washington Post was going to cosponsor this charade, until they came to their ethical senses. Other ethical violators ripe for boycotting include Lockheed Martin (no duh!) and Subway. Country superstar Clint Black will be performing the musical salute. Welcome to my shit list, Mr. Black. Call me insensitive, but I don't think the immolation of thousands of people from a criminal act of perverse barbarism warrants a freedom parade or any kind of propaganda fest. If I die in a senseless explosion or plane crash, please don't commemorate my death through mindless flag waving and lame country music.

Note that you must register to participate in the parade, and they won't let you in without a registration number. How "Patriot Act" appropriate!
