'Gobble, Gobble,' said Sarah the turkey.
Nevermind the turkey slaughter in the background. Sarah just wants to talk about how she is relieved to be away from such a cutthroat business. Happy early Thanksgiving from the Palins to you!

You betcha! This is just terrifying.
Clearly, Alaskan’s don’t really know how to elect reputable people. First, there was Palin. Then, on Tuesday, they re-elected Ted Stevens on the heels of him being convicted on seven felony counts relating to corruption. So we are left hoping that Steven’s doesn’t resign because then Palin can appoint herself to the United States Senate. Goo! This must not be allowed to happen.

Today, the citizens of the United States cast (and the broader world witnessed) a repudiation of stupidity and intolerance. Tonight, we heard a noble conciliatory speech from John McCain and rousing, sober oratory from President-Elect Obama. I’m left with only one word: Hope.

We owe no allegiance to any government. They owe abject allegiance to us.
Corporations are not human. Non-humans have no inalienable rights.
Single-payer or bust!
It is impossible to awaken someone who is pretending to sleep.

The failure of the mainstream media is particularly clear after viewing illustrative videos such as this. Though this clip showcases Occupy Portland, it makes the point for the entire #Occupy movement. For today’s “One Day On Earth” events, I’ll point you to this video. This is what democracy looks like.

Any law that requires an individual to pay money to a private corporation or face criminal penalty is a bad law and must be struck down. I could write pages and pages about the healthcare issues with this bill…
That’s right, kiddies, copying is not theft! Time to forget the propaganda that you are fed every time you pop a dvd into the player. Oh, it is still a crime thanks to our draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but it is not theft, so don’t feel like you are stealing, because you aren’t. Case in point: Nina Paley….

“Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell…It is about massive and systematic corruption of our elected officials and senior bureaucrats with the active connivance of the media. Worse, the corruption was carried out by agents of several foreign governments and involved nuclear secrets stolen from American defense laboratories and military bases that were, in some cases, sold to the highest bidder…”
