Where's the Coverage of the Protests?

I've been around looking for a few hours - having had a real dumb but unmanageable backache keep me from marching in a local protest in Montpelier - for any coverage whatsoever of the day of protests planned around the world to mark the anniversary of the Iraq War. Nothing.

The closest I came was CNN's Jack Cafferty yelling that Martha Stewart has never said she was "sorry" related to the government case against her. Strangely, however, I believe the same complaint was tendered by the bicyclist Jack Cafferty hit with his Cadillac and dragged several feet in New York a year or two ago. Cafferty, as I recall, got off with a rather small fine and no major impact on his ability to drive.
