Fred has hit me with this, a list of my 25 favorite tracks on my mp3 player. Well, honestly, I don't have one, although I do have an extensive music collection. This summer, along with the boys, I have spent rebuilding my music collection, both CDs and good old vinyl, so I thought I would limit this list to songs on formats that I have picked up at garage sales over this past summer.1.

This afternoon, I opened a fortune cookie to find a message inside which read "Three days from now is your lucky day". Now I don't usually take stock in mass produced messages stuffed inside MSG laden treats manufactured in conditions I'd rather not know about, but this one struck me as being so definite, that I placed it in my wallet. I thought about the message, and even imagined what it meant

First we have the near-smiting of Rudy in the Republican debate. I think its funny that just this week the Tom Ridge Pavilion was hit by lightning... no one hurt. I'm not a big believer of these kinds of things but it saddens me to know that Falwell isn't here to help us draw conclusions.

A suggestion was made at The Peace Train to post a "tribute" of sorts on our individual blogs, to essentially honor the efforts of Cindy Sheehan and to talk about her efforts, her questions, and her conclusions. It is not necessary for anyone to be all things to all people in order to be appreciated. I happen to personally think she has been courageous. But even if I didn't, I would giver her

One Million Blogs For Peace is an online effort to recruit bloggers to connect and post topics about the war- many of you have probably seen variations of their "Tuesday Topics" theme. During the month of May, they are having a recruitment drive- and many familiar folks are near the top!

Today is Memorial Day, the one day of the year Americans are supposed to honor the people who sacrificed themselves so that we can watch 217 channels of shit, drive a gas sucking pig of a car, throw garbage in our streets and argue about pointless things like sports and/or movies.

"Tuesday Topics" are part of an ongoing effort online to encourage discussion about the war in iraq, and it is also part of an organizing effort called "One Million Blogs For Peace." You can learn more about this effort by using the sidebar links. On Tuesday, they give a topic:"Over 1,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since three US soldiers were kidnapped in Iraq.During that time, the

Ok, maybe you are a realist. Maybe you think that the most important thing is defeating the opposition and think it's like throwing a vote away to support a true left candidate. Maybe you have mixed feelings about lofty concerns like establishing a cabinet level peace department where the people we elect work for us instead of using us and seek alternatives to resource aggression. Maybe you think

So it's a time out for Opithony, following the Imus fallout. This time, it was XM following rape jokes made during an Opie and Anthony show. The dumbass duo apologized but it's pretty hard to believe that they regret their actions when they characterized the Imus firing as "ruining a career" when he was just trying to "entertain" people.

Christmas time is on us once again, and it's a time when people decorate their homes appropriately with lights, yard displays and wreaths. The wreath, originally gathered by the pre-Christian Germanic people, was used as a sign of hope in the coming spring and renewed light. Christians kept these traditions alive by using the wreath as a symbol of their Advent Hope, in Jesus as the Everlasting

There are many things at stake. Too many. I guess I have a pet peeve with people that go on about how they all suck, so what's the difference?

President Bush today in his weakly radio address, seized upon the oppurtunity to tie in the recent school shootings to his No Child Left Behind Act. Of course, he never addressed how mandating standardized testing is going to prevent some whacko from entering schools with a gun, but you have to understand that this is from a guy who tied an unnecessary war in Iraq with a "terrorist" attack it had

s the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy approaches, there has been a concerted effort in the corporate media, mostly television and radio, to discredit the 9/11 truth movement. They mainly have been using these two media outlets because television watchers are the people most unable to think clearly and therefore unable to form an independent conclusion on their own.Accoring to a Zogby poll,

Expect a lot of self-righteous indignation from the self-righteous right wingers following the news that the two missing soldiers were tortured before their deaths. We can only expect to see more troops captured and tortured in the future, now that the Bush administration has opened that pandora's box.

People from all over this country and all over the world have called on Bush to end this war in Iraq. We share this sentiment and stand in solidarity with antiwar activists in this and other countries. We believe that the war in Iraq is wrong and immoral. We believe that the war in Irag weakens this country. We cry out against the innocents who have been slaughtered and the soldiers dead and

Housing prices compared to income have gone up dramatically- also the price of utilities, college, medical care, and gasoline.

Recently, in response to rocketing fuel costs, President Bush has agreed to release oil from the strategic reserves. In order to do this, he has the EPA ease rules on clean burning gasoline. So basically, we're sacrificing clean air for cheap oil. This got me to thinking.......which is always a dangerous thing.Bush has also ordered a probe into any price gouging by the oil companies.

The question often arises, are our public servants seeking election out of a genuine desire to serve the people, or are they merely seeking to serve their own needs and line their pockets?

Everybody makes mistakes. That is a given. But it takes a big person to admit they have made a mistake. And it takes a very small person to deny they made a mistake and lie about the consequences. Such is the case with President Bush.

Its been a while since we bickered about Eminent Domain...Now the way these eminent domain cases have gone down has caused more than a few of us on the right AND the left to do some head scratching. First, we have to consider the role of preserving private ownership rights and under what circumstances it is acceptable to circumvent that idea. For the good of the public? WHAT is good for the

Lose The Noose grieves for the upcoming departure of South Park's "Chef" played by Isaac Hayes. Everyone by now has heard his explanation: his objection to the religious mockery. Hayes is a Scientologist, and the series has had segments involving his religion- funny, too, we might interject here. The writers point out that Hayes has not voiced objection to the many instances where practically

Those of you involved with the Sierra Club may recall the "Oil and Ice" effort in opposition to drilling in ANWR- the 'house party' concept. The idea was to gather up a few friends, neighbors, etc. and have a party around a specific action/issue. We have done this in many formats, on different topics, with great results. Why not consider this? You might have friends and co-workers that are a

Bennish-the teacher that made headlines for stating that some people see similarities between Bush and Hitler, leading to his removal- was reinstated, and society is better for it. How ridiculous the free-speech bashers look when even Bush can't be on their side on this! Even Bush was unwilling to go to the extreme of these fascists. See the right can't get past their blanket assertions that

I have a confession to make.I am not what you may think I am. People make general assumptions based not on facts or knowledge, but rather how they have been programmed to think by the brainwashers of the Corporate Media. Support the Anti-Choice movement? You must be a Bible thumpin' wing nut. Oppose the illegal invasion of Iraq? you must be a left leaning commie loving liberal democrat. Sometimes

Dobson's wingnut organization "Focus on The Family" is proposing to pay children to perform badly on tests to show the incompetence of public schools toward their ongoing agenda of diverting school aid to private and religious schools on the basis of performance based punishment. OK, I made that up. I was practicing a right wing strategy that I was just reading about today! But the question of

I was going to bicker about the ACLU some more, but came across a wingnut article about the history of Justice Ginsburg that is but one of many examples of why liberals are always defending themselves against mischaracterizations of their positions. It comes from their efforts to distort intentions-to paint a group in a less desireable light. It went on at length about how the entire feminist

Fathers By Force, a rapist paternity rights advocacy organization, has announced the formation of eight new chapters in South Dakota, in the wake of their much-publicized victory there. "We just want to raise awareness on the issue of rapists' rights." said Alex Braun, an inmate organizer and activist. "They say every child a wanted child. Well, we say every father a wanted father.

Gonzo addressed the torture controversy in remarks made in London: "The United States has always been and remains a great defender of human rights and the rule of law," Gonzales said. "I regret that there has been concern or confusion about our commitment to the rule of law." But during his remarks, the audience erupted into unsuppressable fits of laughter. Soon, the laughter could be heard all

In the documentary "The Aristocrats" (not to be confused with the Disney cartoon "The Aristocats"), various comedians give their version of a joke that has been around since the early days of Vaudeville. It is not for the easily offended, and because of it's langauge, the movie rated is NC-17, which means you wont find it at BlockBuster. The thing that makes the joke so durable is that it allows

(Corruptco Week tips a hat to Rev. Gisher for tirelessly spreading the K Street joy around blogarama)Ok, we have a global economy and it is perhaps a dated mindset to consider things like economic protectionism and trade partnerships. Where we used to criticize our government for favoring sectors in our own economy, we now see a scenario emerging where we favor certain economies, certain

Can competition co-exist with compassion? Can we relate the world of business to the world of human need? Does competition work in our favor? Does regulation work in our favor?Over time, our minds begin to extract the ideas of culture and reasoning, and pair these ideas to our conclusions to form a layer of ideology to which our opinions often adhere. These opinions gather there, and it becomes

Democracy in the US has always been about openess and fairness, verifiable and honest (or has it?). However, with Diebold's electronic voting, voter information is a company secret, owned not by the American people, but by a company whose former CEO, Walden O'Dell, promised he would "deliver" Ohio to Bush in 2004.Now before some of you go on about Democrats stealing elections (and I go on about

Stop me if you've heard this: an oil rich Middle East country starts selling it's oil in euros. The president of the US, as well as his administration began making false claims about non-existentweapons programs. He seeks Congressional approval before taking the matter to the UN Security council.If you think I'm talking about Iraq, well, you know what happens next. We take our case before the

Before I take off for the weekend, just an update on Corruptco. Blogfest- if you are unfamiliar or want the scoop go here.The idea is pretty simple, and all bloggers are encouraged to participate. It was suggested that after, certain posts be 'honored' possibly with a graphic to display (like Best Photo,Satire, etc.) etc. Does anyone want to take that on? Coordinating that?

Thanks to Rex Kramer for his post on those blog-worthy S.Dakotans! The culture of life is alive and well, not only on death row in California...but like buds in spring- life is busting out all over!On a related note, the insurance industry is now lobbying for regulations that would require residents in sin-prone areas to purchase mandatory Smite Insurance.

Rebecca Solnit has a wonderful piece at Truth Out, entitled "The Wal-Mart Biennale"about the purchase of Durand's "Kindred Spirits", a painting celebrating the friendship of Cole and Bryant set in the Catskill mountains, by Alice Walton for the Wal-Mart museum. Now certainly the puchase of a painting by a wealthy family is far from newsworthy, but perhaps what disturbs us is the irony of the fact

I'm watching Lou Dobbs, shaking my head. I must turn to the blog community. What the hell is going through his mind? Is he being blackmailed or something? Somebody, somebody please explain to me why Chimp is going to the mat with this port deal? It doesn't even make sense to the name brand asshole, let alone the generics.
