My friend Ann is now listening to Air America Radio in Atlanta. It’s a station in Decatur, 1690 am. Last I heard thirty stations have picked up AAR.
John posted a story of a teacher arrested for carrying a concealed weapon through an airport, a leather bookmark with a couple of lead weights. Better watch out, don’t carry any heavy books on your next trip—the Holy Bible, Bill Clinton’s My Life. I picked up Bill’s book after checking it out at the library and it slipped from my big hand. The noise was so loud it scared everybody. If a bookmark could be a weapon just think what one could do with the whole book!
From my friend Tom, a list of what to be Thankful for. By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist Wednesday, November 26, 2003. It was cut’n’pasted and I couldn’t find it in the SF Gate archives, but here’s a sample:
10) Kneel down, right now, for free speech. Oh yes. We must. Because it is under severe duress. To exercise it now, to speak out against BushCo and war and global corporate profiteering, is a true sign that you are a traitor and an al Qaeda operative and a personal friend of Barbra Streisand. This is what they sneer at you.
Give it up, instead, for free unfettered alt-news sources like truthout.org. And commondreams.org. And alternet.org and counterpunch.com and buzzflash.com and smirkingchimp.com and even Slate and the BBC and The Onion. Cheney scowls, Rove oozes, Ashcroft would love nothing more than to shut down the entire impious godforsaken Internet. Be grateful they can only quiver and hiss and rattle their chains. So far.
