POPSMichael Moore Endorses Obama for "Decency" Funny, we have the same name (I had it first) and I usually like Michael's stuff--except when he tries to go "establishment", like wearing a suit and gettin a haircut--just let it fly, man!

I'll have applause and compassion for 'em when they find some semblance of conscience. How I feel, can't help it. I'm fed up with the war and all the lies... Anyway.... rant over and I hope I never see another freaky bald Gordon Liddy lookalike starin' at ME like I was fresh meat for a Gitmo cell and a little water-boarding. Jeebus and Ramona! People cain't take a little political protest without the hatred just flowing out

POPSHow Sick Of It Are You? Sick enough? Then sign up here: www.sickofitday.org. And when you call in sick on March 19, before going back to bed or out to protest, check out this link to the document that started a revolution against another King George. Note where it says "Governments are instituted among Men (sic), deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." We no longer consent. We are sick of it.

POPSOf Whales and War This dependency on sound makes whales vulnerable to the rising level of noise in the ocean. The number of cargo ships has tripled in the past 75 years, with bigger ships plying the seas each year. Bio-acoustician Chris Clark describes these chronic sounds as a “smog of human-generated acoustic noise.” The constant buzz, which can impact whales’ ability to hunt and reproduce, is punctuated by intense pulses from seismic air guns, used to map petroleum deposits on the shelf. These pulses, some of the loudest sounds produced by humans, reach across oceans and may be responsible for the stranding of whales in Mexico. The United States is right to protest commercial whale hunts that violate the suspension of whaling, but we should also protect the soundscape where the world’s largest mammals reside.

POPSWe Didn’t Stop That War, but May Have Stopped the Next The anti-war movement has lived under the shadow of that immense mobilisation too. But it was followed the next month by the biggest demonstration against a war British troops were actually fighting, by the biggest-ever weekday march (against the Bush visit to London later in 2003), by an unprecedented movement of military families against the war, and by a dozen further marches - including one which will mark the fifth anniversary of the war itself, on March 15. Opposition to empire has been put at the heart of politics as never before.

POPSMillions Without a Voice of the Vote If I hadn't been pardoned by Pres. Gerald Ford (bless the man) for my Fed. conviction of refusal to serve in the Military in protest of the Vietnam war in '70, I wouldn't be voting now. Some would probably say I don't deserve to vote because I'm a refusenik...but then those people are....well...wrong!

POPS“Palestine don’t you cry… We shall never let you die!” An echoing articulation of compassionate ambiance as thousands of British populace protested opposite Downing Street in London on Saturday 26th January, residence of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The demonstration prompted by the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip due to the 20-month-long siege illustrated a community upholding the inherent human dignity and decorum, calling for Israel’s brutal illegal siege of Gaza to be

POPSBerkeley: Facing Off Over Marine Corps The Marines, meanwhile, were not ready to back down. “It’s just another protest,” said Marine Corps Capt. Richard Lund, head of the recruiting office. As he spoke in the early afternoon, with the protesters still chained to his door, a small band of demonstrators on the sidewalk shouted at passing cars and students at Shattuck Square: “Marines out of Berkeley! Marines out of Iraq!” Heated words were exchanged whenever people tried to enter or leave the office, but the protest was peaceful. “You guys are just cannon fodder!” the chained protesters shouted at three teenage boys who walked past the office and said they wanted to go inside. “They want to train you to kill babies!” The teenagers turned around and left. ********************* I love this...right in my old stomping gronds where I was first arrested at the Mass Protest in '68 and politicized by the treatment of the protesters in Contra Costa County Jail where they took all 500+ of us and kept us laying on the g

POPSWhy Can't We Do This? In a relatively small country like Italy, they show a better solidarity for peace and human rights than the "best country in the world" Amurrika. Why is that?

POPSMore Thuggery in the Capitol My assistant and side-kick, Tiffany, took Carly down to the cafeteria to get a bite and a cold drink and before they left, Tiffany told me: “Two things, don’t get out of line and don’t get arrested while I am gone.” We chuckled, because one never knows and after they had been gone for about 3 minutes, we could hear a scuffle at the beginning of the line and then someone shouted: “don’t hurt him, he’s a minister.” Dede and I ran up to the front of the line, just in time to see the Rev on the ground with about a half a dozen Capitol Hill Police on top of him. Another shocking spectacle was there were about three dozen people in the line just watching Rev get the stuffing knocked out of him. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Please read the rest of the article for a good Cindy rant...speak the truth, Sister!
