www.msnbc.msn.com/id/211345...9#24635229 There is a real jaw-dropper at the very end. Just when I think there is nothing more this guy can do which would astonish me more than I am already astonished by him, Bush manages to do so. Again.
Despite the corporate media blackout of serious coverage for either candidate and negative airtime devoted to their ridicule and trivialization, the voters of Ohio and Texas disbelieved the military-petrodollar Big Lie and elected Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul in their respective congressional primary races.

about me
My partner, kids, and I are among those folks who wave at passing traffic, hold signs, and drum during peace demonstrations here in Anchorage. We attend the potlucks, picnics, and fundraisers of the various progressive local groups from PFLAG and GLSEN to the local schools' and candidates' houseparties -as well as taking a turn with hosting such. At the annual Burning Man event in the Black Rock Desert we supported and camped in Kidsville when the kids were younger but now camp and work with the BRC Post Office and crew for the Big Round Cubatron art installation. In general we are fairly well organized, not all that wild/crazy/drunken/rowdy, and are fairly mellow folks (except when pissed off about some stupidity or other of BushCo, a subsidiary of CheneyCo, or by narrow-minded and short-sighted local Alaska prejudice and corruption in government). It is sometimes tough to find the levity on some issues of the day yet also important to retain a sense of humor.
