Ladies and Gents, I apologize if this is out of place, but I wanted to post a notice that has been sent around; perhaps some of those attending the F2F or living in and around DC might want to add this to their to-do list in DC.
On January 29, 2004, Bus 19 was destroyed by a suicide bomber on a Jerusalem street. Among the 11 who were killed was Yechezkel Goldberg. Goldberg was a social worker who worked primarily with troubled youth, both in Jerusalem and in his hometown of Betar Illit. His sister, Carrie Devorah, is a DC-area journalist.
In February, the remains of Bus 19 were placed opposite the building in The Hague where the International Court of Justice was hearing testimony on the legality of the West Bank separation fence. Carrie Devorah went to the Hague to stand beside the bus and tell the world, “This is the bus my brother was murdered on...this time it is me. Terrorism doesn't discriminate. Next time it may be you."
Bus 19 is on tour, thanks to the efforts of Christians for Israel USA and ZAKA, the organization which recovers and helps identify the remains of terror victims. The bus will be in Washington, DC for part of May. We encourage you to come and stand in solidarity at this display of the results of terrorism in Israel. It is a powerful statement of support for Israel and support for the families of the dead.
The bus will stand:
May 19 - 21 on the Mall, west side of the Reflecting Pool
May 23 - 27 on the Mall, west side of the Reflecting Pool

Shoot. I wasn't trying to push the press limit. I posted this in the wrong window last night. Sorry. Deleted.
Shamelessly quoted at least one Buffista without asking nicely first. Feel free to sue:
the headline would have been better had i gotten my druthers
Druthers is a good word.
edit: I suck, been gone so long forgot about spoilers. So, what she said: SPOILY!!
Seriously spoilery to anyone who's yet to see the finale...
