Outside the "Black Tie and Boots Ball" activists will have their own "Black Gold and Boots Ball" featuring Hallibacon, the Halliburton mascot, and other war profiteers that expect to make a killing during the second term of the Bush admin. Co-sponsors of the protest include some of the most creative activist groups in the country: CODEPINK: Women for Peace, Billionaires for Bush, and the Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane.
