EXCERPT: KLKA proposes move from Globe to Casa Grande Secret payout kept from public Move will result in 600% power increase, change in frequency, and no local broadcasting. If approved, will shut out all locally controlled community radio in Central Arizona and the East Valley. American Educational Broadcasting (AEB) is a Florida corporation with its headquarters in Las Vegas. It owns many stations across the country, and its directors have controlling interests in many other...

EXCERPT: I have always felt melancholy in the fall, when the rich summer promise seems to fade into the golds of dying leaves, eventually slowing into quiet dormant winter.
Maybe my natural sense of sadness in the fall has colored it, but for me the days between August 29 and September 11 have become a strange time.   Two weeks  to the day is not the only thing that links two of this country's most unnatural disasters,  9-11 and Hurricane Katrina.
But what about them...

EXCERPT: Somehow material from the British newspaper The Guardian, reporting actual public hangings in Iran, seems right wing. Read it for yourself and see. But is that because the story was invented or embellished to move propaganda, as inaccurate stories twisted and spun by the right often do?  Or because for leftists, it is practically forbidden to mention such stories for fear of well, sounding "right wing"? 
You and I didn't hang 30 people in Iran last month, two...

EXCERPT: Oh...My...God!!! Gonzales Gone! Mr. Gonzales’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-level departures that has reshaped the end of Mr. Bush’s second term. Karl Rove, another of Mr. Bush’s close circle of aides from Texas, stepped down two weeks ago.
This is good-- he was a judicial “cock block” for BushCo.
And unlike Rove's departure, Gonzo's is not as important to watch for the roach motel he takes up next, but the guy who replaces...

EXCERPT: I love so many things about the movement Not just the bawdy side liberated good girls could finally express and still be "good", but the thoroughly uninhibited (and yes, dangerous) female point of view.  From Feministing-- a site of such subversiveness--
First, it's the work.  Then, it's crotchless pantaloons.  Next, a Godly spankin'?:
This is billed as completely consensual, with it made clear that "the husband has authority to spank the...

EXCERPT: Music Video Shows New Torture Footage In Campaign To Oppose Torture And Extreme Rendition Justice Through Music (“JTM”) and the band Op-Critical have just released a new music video called Exile as part of their campaign in opposition to the use of Torture and Extreme Rendition by the United States government.
“This video takes a very hard hitting look at these inhumane and barbaric practices and makes a statement that this type of conduct is wrong,” says JTM...

EXCERPT: Thanks to my modest week-end radio show and my near obsessive interest in having control over my own future, every day I think about politics and the effect it has in everyday life.
Certainly I wold prefer to be obsessed with more entertaining interests; movies, reading for pleasure, maybe even learning to cook (I can dream can't I?). But no! FISA acts, trade agreements, the Christian mafia and “hawk” show hosts; international policy, Chinese imports, election reform...

EXCERPT: There is agreement with me that a 5% Solution might be in order, but for only a specific 5%. The thesis for the alternative 5% Solution starts on this problem basis*: the 5% running this country are doing so through the “State” via the Federal Reserve System banks. Some of these banking 5%'ers are named Rothschild, Warburg, Israel Moses Seif, Goldman Sachs, and so on.  A 1920's-era document/book, Our Enemy the State,  additionally suggests the idea...

EXCERPT: When I got an email this week from Moveon that began “Democratic leaders want to offer free health care to millions of uninsured children. Who could be against that? But President Bush is afraid insuring kids is a slippery slope—opening the door to affordable health care for everyone. How terrible,” I wanted to scream. Partly because the marketing baloney is so transparent in everybody's fund raising these days—and partly because it really is true that...

EXCERPT: Michael Moore, regardless of subject (but let's take managed health care and Sicko for example) pushes back on American fascist politics. Even if there were no reasons other then his current willingness to push back on main stream media and his documentary work being examples of powerful media protest, I would say he is a national treasure and we need all the examples of single individuals committed to personal political responsibility --for the good of working people-- that we...
