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.
Buying a car soon? You’ll want to read this thoughtfully-written exposÈ of car sales at the Edmunds site.
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! :)
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.
Remember those 16mm educational films they used to show in class to teach you about periods and things? A site called the Prelinger Archives (thanks, Glen!) links to some you can download and watch with Quicktime or Real. Included in their list of the most downloaded are “Are You Popular?”, “As Boys Grow” (featuring a rather creepy coach), “Molly Grows Up,” and “A is for Atom.” People even post reviews!
I learned from “Molly” that when I’m on my period, I should only square dance in moderation. Very good to know.
