      New York City Gay bloggers make their mark :: EDGE New York City

      Posted by Villagenyc

      "The mainstream media is so full of lies and distortions that we need the unfiltered information which comes from some of these blogs" she said. "Unfortunately too many gay men have the body of Gods and the brains of 15-year-old school girls. So I try to mix in some politics with more entertainment-oriented posts to trick them into caring about issues other than Jennifer Aniston's new hair style."

      Pete Seeger: How Can I Keep from Singing? :: Interview with Sarah van Gelder

      Posted by islander07 from Yes! Magazine

      It’s not fame he’s been after during his decades of singing. “Fame is a snare and a delusion,” he says. He marched for civil rights from Selma to Montgomery, played music on the banks of his beloved Hudson River, and was celebrated at Carnegie Hall.
      He’s been working for change all his life, and he’s seen some of his fondest hopes come to pass.

      Police probe fires near Seattle suspect eco-arson

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      The homes are in a development near the headwaters of Bear Creek, which is home to endangered chinook salmon. Opponents of the development had questioned whether the luxury homes could pollute the creek and an aquifer that is a drinking water source, and whether enough was done to protect nearby wetlands.

    I am not comfortable with the FBI using the term domestic terrorism on this kind of arson. It seems like a stretch…it diminishes the term terrorism from the kind of efforts aimed at killing thousands, tens of thousands or millions of people and creating an ongoing sense of fear in their lives. This kind of arson is aimed primarily at property, does not often target people – albeit it does seemed aimed at political change…it still seems like arson or violent activism to me. Is anyone afraid ELF is going to burn their house down tonight?

    Sheehan quits as face of US anti-war fight

    Thank you Cindy Sheehan. You served as the face of a movement I participated in. You served as a voice of a movement I participated in. You fought the good fight and I was proud of what you did.

    She dared to be the face of a movement that forced us to look ourselves in the mirror and face the consequences of ill-conceived policies that kill our men and women in uniform and innocent civilians in Iraq.

    BUT she was more than a face or emblem of a movement, she was a mother who paid the ultimate price in this fiasco – the first in losing her son, and the second by the character assassination and “swift-boating” carried out by immature pukes.

    It’s still sad to see even she’s been defeated by this war. I think a lot of people will lose hope from this.

    I thought her note was egotistical and narcissistic

    I just thought of another idea. Everyone carries eviction notices and they're taped around the entire fence of the Whitehouse

    Not much in the way of response so far. I'm trying some other avenues today

    I've written to two Air America shows...to start. I really need assistance organizing this thing. I'm committed to doing this. But, I have no experience in organizing on this scale.
