The fine upstanding ladies from Code Pink, recently seen dressing in their normal garb and acting as their normal selves (i.e., dressed as witches and "casting spells of peace" on the USMC recruiting depot in Berkeley, CA), plan to do something during Thursday's House vote on Supplemental funding for Iraq that promises to be even more effective than the seances they held in Berkeley this Spring (I know, it just doesn't seem possible, does it?).

According to Roll Call ($), members of the communist organization "will throw 164 single-dollar bills covered in “blood” onto the House floor Thursday night as lawmakers vote to approve continued funding for the Iraq War."

A member of CODEPINK dressed in regular clothes - as opposed to the group's typical pink garb - will stand up in the balcony and throw $164 covered with red fingerprints onto the floor when Members begin to vote on the bill. Each dollar symbolizes a billion more dollars being spent in the war supplemental.

Five other CODEPINK members will be in the audience dressed in more ostentatious outfits in support of the move, but will not partake in the money toss.

“I think [Democratic leaders] are embarrassed of what they're doing and we're one of the few people who know it,” said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK [Ed. - along with this fine woman].

Call me crazy, but I doubt this is going to have an overwhelmingly large effect on the voting. After all, it's so hard to find people willing to take Witches seriously these days!
