    Doing a news blackout for the next week or so until the convention is over. My mp3 player with 7000 songs on it is going to get a workout. Still recovering from the endless pablum I consumed by attending the 2004 affair and cannot withstand anymore drivel without seeing some results.

    Brian Baird is a Flake – Part II

    The Representative from Washington’s Congressional District # 3 is a member of the Democratic Party who has backed George Bush on several matters of critical importance to U.S. citizens in general and progressives in particular: 1) support for the occupation of Iraq, and, especially, support for ‘the Surge’; 2) approval of the Peru Free-Trade Agreement in late 2007; and 3) an affirmative vote for [...]
