A Petition

Read this post by Arthur Silber, and then sign this petition in support of the Illinois high school students who are being threatened with expulsion and possibly criminal charges for their participation in a peaceful antiwar protest. (via Antiwar.com) I just signed it myself.

More Fox Hypocrisy

This 40-second video by by Robert Greenwald (via Fox Attacks) makes clear the real reason Fox censored Sally Field at the Emmys.

War With Iran?

There seems to be an increasing amount of rumor and talking points surrounding this possibility in the past week. Has anyone seen this Times of London piece about the Pentagon's plan for a three-day blitz against Iran, designed to take out not just their alleged nuclear facilities but their entire military? And why is this being reported only in the UK press and not anywhere in the American mainstream media? So plans are drawn up. Whether this scenario or a similar version of events unfolds in the final eighteen months of this unmitigated nightmare called the Bush presidency, we should expect more sabre-rattling and drum-beating from all the usual suspects. But can anyone say this is not totally and criminally insane?

Yet Again!

ABC reset its tally of poll results reflecting who, in viewers' opinions, won the GOP debate they broadcast this morning, Sunday, August 5--in which Ron Paul was winning in a landslide! Computer glitch, or dry run for the real election? You decide:

Look at the results of this poll, and ask yourself why you hardly ever hear Ron Paul so much as mentioned in the mainstream media:

Ron Paul Destroys All GOP Candidates in Straw Poll

This poll mirrors the same results of every single Republican post-debate poll that I've seen to date:

So why does the mainstream media continue to utterly ignore the existence of the congressman from Texas and presidential candidate? Could it be because Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the only Republican candidate advocating a complete and immediate withdrawal from Iraq? Just asking.
