POPSThe Redacting Of Thomas Jefferson This is just a "tip of the iceberg" of the redacting and revising of documents and facts the Bush Neocon Administration have been busily churning out for the past 7-plus years. Will we ever see the WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH again? I am hopeful we will if Obama is elected, but I will say a jubilant Good Riddance to them all, come January 2009, no matter who is elected! thinkingblue.blogspot.com

a link to a blog that had a post on the incident and also has really nice updates on the Rainbow Gathering: http://adap2k.blogspot.com/2008/07/rainbow-family-attacked-by-feds-peppers.html and has this audio: http://adap2k.blogspot.com/2008/07/audio-rainbow-family-attacked-by-feds.html I have not yet seen anything appear on You Tube. Here is a link to Pinedale Online which has been reporting regularly on the Gathering: http://www.pinedaleonline.com/news/2008/06/RainbowFamilyGatheri.htm Here is a link to a blog that has been offering updated information when possible: http://wyominggathering .blogspot.com/ Ah, that's really a shame...and growing evidence of the nature of the Police State in which we are currently suffering.

POPSJesse Helms is Dead Mike Signorile definitely speaks for many LGBT people and our friends in his July 4th blog posting. Although, as I said in a piece I clipped yesterday, I do not take joy in the death of another human being. But in the case of Helms, it is hard to find even a core of sympathy or remorse at his passing. In his professional lifetime, he sent many innocent and good people to their deaths due to his hatemongering and homophobia. If he could not cry for us, how can we cry for him?

POPSOur Genocidal track record I know, y'all think I hate America...Not so, but I despise what the people of the USA has done in so many instances of genocidal hypocrisy...I cannot celebrate our Independence without seeing all the death and destruction we have brouht to the brown, red and yellow segments of Mankind. I'm thoroughly disgusted with 'Murrika today and especially of the last 8 years. Our collective karma is disastrous and the Empire will fall, just like all Empires do. The "Noble Experiment" in Democracy gets a big FAIL. Despite all the good we have done, the USA is a racist, war-loving, greedy, Earth-polluting, voracious nation. Pretty sad when you think about it, neh?

In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder landed on Mars to become the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the planet in more than two decades. Also in 1997, Mexico's top drug lord died in a Mexico City hospital following plastic surgery to change his appearance.
