Community discussion on health care reform

All around the country Monday night, Americans will be coming together to discuss the coming changes to our health care system, and how we want to influence the degree and outcome of those changes.

The Real Rick Warren

Here’s a story that reveal the real person inside Obama’s new BFF, Rick Warren.

UC Men’s octet walk ’500 Miles’

Great song that is beloved enough to be parodied by half the planet — I just watched a bunch on YouTube. This is not the old Peter, Paul and Mary song! (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but The Proclaimers folk love anthem that is actually titled ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).’

So here’s my first complaint… Read the rest

Obama is Wanker of the Day

Obama won another distinction today, after being named Time’s Person of the Year: the even more illustrious Wanker of the Day as named by Atrios.
As someone said in the comments there:

“If elections really changed anything, they would be outlawed!” –Emma Goldman

Carry on, peacemakers.

Peace Arena to name ‘Progressive Person of the Year’

Taking a cue from Time magazine, which today made news with the surprising choice of Barack Obama as its ‘Person of the Year,’ this site will be announcing a “Progressive Person of the Year.”
