George Bush Build-A-Speech - War Rhetoric Kit

{News|MeMeMe}
Anyone recall the mainstream media reporting natiowide protests over the election results? Neither do I. Maybe we should change where we get our mainline news geez. I've always tempered my online news with tv news (or vice versa), about 50/50. Excessive election results gloating made my decision easy to delete the news channels from my satellite receiver. Except for NWI, (News World International - mostly Canadian news) and LinkTV which give the World/International perspectives. About 90% I get from the internet from all the great alternative news sources we've all come to rely on.

So no more CNN. No more MSNBC. And definitely no more ABC, NBC, CBS. This television news jones is not as painful as I had expected.

George W. Bush is making an official visit to Canada November 30 - December 1. Canada making plans to "welcome" him. Ottawa 'No To Bush' Committee and Canadian Peace Alliance have cast a wide protest organizational net. more »

Ras Alan - Appalachian Reggae. Two worlds you don't typically think of coming together. Dreadneck music.


I took some coloring out of the photo so it wouldn't take so long for this page to load. Actual photograph is larger and color quality is more developed. Thanks, Joshua!

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
