Protest Song
In the wake of another Bush administration mistake, I found this video of a Bright Eyes protest song. I think the most impressive part of this video is that it was actually allowed to air on television. Also, it is a free download on Apple's ITunes.


On another note, here is a very humbling video of the Hurricane Katrina crisis. Of all the footage I've seen from Katrina, this had the biggest impact on me.


Also, good ol' Al emailed me back about his Astrodome comments.


I understand they need more room to camp out for a bit. My point was, and remains, the fire marshal was sdaying it was "too full" when it had 10K. What the heck do they do when it's sold out?

It was a staging area...for humans. It was better than having them out in the elements. The fire marshal just got all excited, I'm sure, and wanted his name in the paper.

Al


I still think he missed the point.

have been reserved a common and equally punitive level of hell. I don't know whether being a Brewer fan (or blogger for that matter...how could anyone care enough about the crown jewel of the selig family empire to post blogs about it?) is mitigating for your friend Al, just because of the sheer pathology of it. Maybe it is. The worst would certainly be someone STUPID and IGNORANT enough to defend Bush for any one of the myriad messes he has made in the name of cronyism and arrogance as well as FAWNING and VENAL enough to root for the Yankees. Yankee-fan Bush apologists will spend eternity in the worst Dante can imagine....

I'm a White Sox fan first, but the Brewers are definitely second. It's a good franchise that has an extremely bright future.

oops. sorry. should have noticed the wisconsin stuff before i posted that :) I love wisconsin. Beautiful state, madison is very cool. Can't warm up to the brewcrew, however... just like i can't stand the diamondbacks (up the road from me) and their airconditioned stadium either...

The Selig's don't own the Brewers anymore.

Hey

I just watched the video. I couldn't really figure out if he was angry with just George or God too. either way I am going to watch it again. How were all of the games? I haven't been up to much, but I still would like to talk to you. Have a good day

Matt
