The Furious Spinner

I am continually amazed when I talk to people about what is not yet in the minds of much of mainstream (and otherwise) America. Not that I'm feeling superior, mind you; there is so much that I am totally ignorant about.

But here are just a few recent news articles and essays about things that are happening:

The so-called president just signed a bill banning so-called partial birth abortion (remember, this isn't a medical term—it's a political term). And just as quickly, a federal judge temporarily banned the ban.

I could give a rat's ass about Kobe Bryant—people are still surprised these men rape and pillage?—but Alice Vachss has a great piece (relating to Bryant's trail) on rape and the myths surrounding it on Commondreams.com.

Anti-war demonstrators and others who are questioning the government are not unpatriotic. It's time we took our country back, as John and Elaine Mellancamp suggest in their letter on Commondreams.com. I'm with ya!

Bush continues to gut all laws that protect the environment.

There are still huge problems with our voting machines, not the least of which is that Diebold's CEO is a pal of Bush's.

On the upside, you can now pray for the so-called president online. (Careful: the site has pop-ups.)

And on the other upside, CodePink continues to be creative in its response to world events. You go, girls! I've heard people say they want to see Bush and his cronies led out of the White House in handcuffs. I say that sounds cool, but it would be so much better if they were led out in handcuffs wearing CodePink's pink slip (see right hand picture on the page).

Now with that image in your mind (ain't it grand?), go out and greet the day!

May you have the love and affection of the sun, moon, and stars!
