Become A Sustainer

I’ve been a ZNet sustainer since late last year? And I’m more than willing to admit I’m quite impressed with what I receive from my modest monthly contribution.

Honestly I don’t use my “member privileges” anywhere near its potential. I have yet to set up my “ZSpace Page.” I need to get on that. But what I do find most valuable is receiving “nightly sustainer commentary” in my email inbox. Granted it takes, at least, a $1 monthly contribution to be eligible for that “feature.” So I urge anyone who can afford to part with $12 a year to become a sustainer.

Because every so often you get little gems not unlike the one I received this morning… Continue reading Become A Sustainer

Here At Home

With so much of both the Canadian and American media attention focusing on the American Presidential election we better not forget to think of matters here at home. We have an election for Prime Minister of Canada on October 14? I think.

Of course when I wrote “we better not forget” I really meant “I better not forget.” Can you blame me (I wasn’t really asking)?

A Fascist Police State

Now with the same old stupidity underway this week in Denver, I’ve turned to DemocracyNow.org‘s coverage of the DNC. Aptly entitled “Breaking With Convention.” I say “aptly” simply because Amy & Co. are very busy reporting the other side. You’ll never find ANY of the stories featured there, since Monday at least, on mainstream television. And that does, in fact shatter the practice of modern journalism. Typical! Do yourself a favor and check it out…

Now I should state, before next week rolls around and it’s the Republican’s turn, I don’t think any better of the Republicans. Actually my thoughts concerning a “Neo-Conservative’s” racist, sexist and homophobic idea of “democracy” is worse. A lot worse.

But, to be fair both parties are contributing to the death of civilization and this planet in a shockingly similar way…

Barack “Punk Rock” Obama?

I had to look at this much more than once. More than twice. A third didn’t hurt. But I’m not one bit closer to understanding it. Truly bizarre…

“NOFX are headlining the opening of the Democratic National Convention at Red Rocks in Denver, Colorado this Friday, August 22nd. To celebrate Barack “Punk Rock” Obama’s nomination, NOFX will perform Punk in Drublic in its entirety and in order.” Continue reading Barack “Punk Rock” Obama?
