[UPDATE: I wasted an hour at this event. See "Los Angeles Impeach Bush protest falls flat" for my report.]

On Saturday, July 23 protests will be held in cities across the U.S. to try to bring attention to the Downing Street memo.

This is called "DSM Day" and it's been organized by Rep. John Conyers and several other people and organizations. Air America's Randi Rhodes is involved as well.

In Los Angeles, festivities will kick off at Maxine Waters' office in Inglewood from noon to 3pm at the Covenant Worship Center Legacy Hall (425 South La Brea Ave., two blocks south of Manchester Blvd.)

Then, the protest will move to Hollywood. From 3:30pm to 6pm, protesters will march from KTLA (5800 Sunset) to KCBS (6121 Sunset). Codepink (Susan Medea Benjamin's group) and something called Impeach Central are involved.

I will not be going to these events. I repeat: I will NOT be going. No, really, I have no intention of going.
