May Peace Be With These Men and Their Families

These men fought a war, and died during the occupation.

Do as I say...

Do as I say, not as I do, says Mr. Foot in My Mouth Ohio.

If they can spin not giving children health insurance, we're really in trouble.

Possibility that Guliani is behind CA electoral vote scheme

Thanks, Kevin Drum.

Dan Rather; why now?

This is stinging; even worse than Daniel Shorr's scathing NPR analysis of the sham that is American anchor "journalism."

Art and Politics, Amen

I'll buy his download or his album, or both. This guy's got courage; I wonder if NBC is reeling.

14 Democrats voted to stop the war, 1 Republican joined them

This is appalling. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Swiftspeech. I'm trying to think of the best way to show my indignant anger toward my representatives' actions.

Beyond Fatalism--VOTE

I was listening to Thom Hartmann on Air America yesterday and he outlined the caging problem that's probably going to happen in Ohio and Florida (and probably elsewhere) the next vote. He played an audio clip of a conservative preacher (I didn't recognize the name) who was saying how he doesn't want everybody to vote...that there is no way fundamentalists can have their agenda IF EVERYONE VOTES. He called representative Democracy "Goo-Goo," Good Government, which he is AGAINST.

Beyond the red Democrats in Congress, we are simply at war with those who are actively trying to suppress the vote in this country. A simple way we can fight is TO VOTE. Another action is to check out our local and state voting practices (paper ballots, requirements, etc.) so that we can educate our friends and relatives.

Libraries are very good sources for voting info, so next time you check out a book, check out how our Democracy is functioning in your town.

Peace.
