Black Sheep Remix for Obama

An article about Obama being related to Dick Cheney - called Every Family Has A Black Sheep.

Obama on Jon Stewart

We still need Ron Paul on Rachel Maddow.

Mayor Nickels: Seattle is "City of Music" / Vince Mira, Teen Johny Cash

Read it here Mayor Nickels announced this yesterday at the Paramount Theater. This will be helpful as we have lived with anti-postering laws and over-concern about "noise" at night and places where "rap" might occur. Fines. "We want the music, we want the venues, but we also want it to be in a way that the neighborhood can coexist with the clubs," Nickels said. He was followed by Vince Mira, the Johny Cash sound-alike teen. Plans are admit tax exemption for live venues, expanded school music ed and a Music Commission to join the Film and Music Commission established in 2002.

Wingnuts Are Stealing Peter Frampton's Obama Signs

Read About It Here - He lives in Ohio.

On the left - a recent picture; on the right - how you remember him. (It's a little depressing, I know.)

Big Long Pricey Obama Ad / Barack and Bubba

 

The video featured footage shot by Davis Guggenheim, the director and executive producer of former Vice President Al Gore's global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." Guggenheim also produced and directed the HBO series "Deadwood." 

 

Here he is with Bill Clinton in Florida. Saw a clip of him on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and apparently he was on Rachel Maddow's show too. Meanwhile, Does McCain have a skeleton in his closet? Vanity Fair will reveal all.

Seattle Fish Throwers for Obama

Thanks to local hero Ari Melber, who now writes for WA Independent, The Nation, Huffington Post and takes on badasses on tv.  See story at WA Independent (thanks Ari for emailing it to me) and here is the video: Pike Market is actually one place I had VERY GOOD SUCCESS registering voters. I registered 14 in about 90 minutes - all employees, some of whom work 7 days/week and had trouble getting away to register and/or vote.

Howard Zinn Says He's Voting for Nader

Howard Zinn now says he's voting for Nader. The famous historian lives in Massachusetts, where Obama is ahead by 20 points. Zinn created a stir earlier when he said he was voting for Obama. He legitimately took some heat for supporting the corporate Obama. But late last night, Zinn admitted in an e-mail to the Nader campaign that he made a mistake and now says he will vote for Nader. And Zinn urges all people of conscience to vote for the true progressive in slam dunk states. Of which there are now many. (Zinn says that in non slam dunk states, he urges people to vote for Obama. The Nader campaign obviously disagrees with that bit of advice.) Or as Ralph Nader put it today:

"A vote for Nader/Gonzalez on November, rather than being wasted by piling onto an Obama landslide or McCain implosion, will produce a stronger hammer and watchdog for what millions of Americans want -- including public Medicare for all with private delivery and a living wage for the one in three workers who don't make one."

The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out how Nader would 1) win and 2) accomplish what he advocates for. Slugbug
