Raed Jarrar at JFK

Raed Jarrar wears a shirt that says, we will not be silent -- in English and Arabic. That is apparently a problem if you decide to travel by air in the US. Jarrar was going through JFK, when security harassed him about his shirt. He eventually had to put on another shirt over his Arabic shirt. Other passengers had problems with the Arabic script on his shirt.

Now people -- get a grip here -- do you really think the terrorists are that stupid as to wear a shirt with Arabic script on it? That's like wearing an English shirt that declares, I'm a terrorist.

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
