Tuesday, September 25 – We’ll skip right over the excuses for not posting recently, and offer these images of Sunday’s Peace and Labor Parade. Yes, Peace and Labor, commingled in a single parade on a perfect late summer day. Here’s proof that irony is non-toxic, no matter how large the dose. Congratulations for a splendid event to Peter Somssich and the Labor/Portsmouth Peace Treaty Parade Committee, Paul O’Connor and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Metal Trades Union, and Stephanie Seacord, Portsmouth Peace Treaty Committee.

Our favorite band in all the land was on hand, of course, and in fine fettle. The Leftist Marching Band (LMB) was made for this event.

Marching right along with the scruffy LMB, and apparently none the worse for the association, was the spiffy crew of the USS Memphis.

And bringing up the rear, reminding us all of the extraordinary expense of having a military capable of beating up the rest of the planet, was Priorities New Hampshire. As one bystander noted, “You need a Lincoln to transport something as big as the Pentagon’s budget.”
