I’ve been futzing with the page layout again. Please let me know if my changes have caused anything hideous to appear.

Lies and lying liars
You probably all get the Daily Mislead already, but I just had to point out today’s coverage because the lies are so amazingly blatant:
Bush’s Economic Optimism Belied by Deficits, Unemployed
I can’t say it any better than they do. I also find it astonishing that anyone believes anything this administration says anymore.
Confessions of a Car Salesman
Buying a car soon? You’ll want to read this thoughtfully-written exposÈ of car sales at the Edmunds site.
Grassroots Radio
There is a low power FM “micro-radio” movement (in case you hadn’t heard) and Radio4All gives you access to the movement, downloadable (free!) audio and some of the stations.
Some of the audio comes from the LA Sound Posse who record and make available such items as Vandana Shiva’s lecture at Scripps College last December on “Real Wealth, Real Poverty: How Economic Globalization is Robbing the Poor of Wealth.”
Listen, learn and act, people! :)
Bombard Away!
Seriously, if anyone here has suggestions (like some of these) on how to save the Hubble telescope, please let NASA know. Apparently they’re willing to listen, which is good because it would be stupid to let the Hubble die because of Dubya’s new budgetary plans.
