Media Trounces Dean for Speaking Truth…Again!
I don't
know how you could have possibly missed Howard Dean being the top story
everywhere for speaking the truth about the junta's media manipulation,
but just in case, here's an article about it. Now, this article
is from the International Herald Tribune. Seems like the
international papers see the story as the junta manipulating the terror
alerts, but the American media see the story as “What Howard Dean Said
This Time!” Go figure.
“There
have been cracks in the Democratic restraint. The former
presidential candidate Howard Dean said plainly that the administration
might be manipulating terror warnings for political gain, and to steal
the Democrats' thunder.”
What? Just because they waited 4 years to release the information?

OK, I'm taking this directly off the BFA site, which has improved in quality lately thanks to some fresh blood.

See Howard Dean as the guest host of “Topic [A] with Tina Brown” this weekend:

The
upcoming election, the electronic voting system and the potential for
lost votes and computer hacking are of great concern to many Americans.
Joining Governor Dean to discuss the E-voting issue are Author/Digital
Activist Bev Harris and California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley.
Harris will also demonstrate how easy it is to access and hack into a
computer and the ominous implications of the E-voting system.
Dean will also be joined by Jon Stewart
from “The Daily Show” for a one-on-one discussion about the success of
his Comedy Central program with the 25 and under set; the approach his
show takes to the news, their spin on the media at large, and of
course, Stewart's jabs at Dean on the campaign trail.
In a
roundtable discussion about the issue of race in this country will be
Tavis Smiley, NPR radio host and syndicated radio host Tom Leykis
discussing recent comments about the black family made by actor Bill
Cosby at a Rainbow Coalition event.
In addition, outspoken Actor/Comedian Margaret Cho will talk to Dean about her widely anticipated stand up tour, “State of Emergency,” which launches next month.
“I am
delighted to be stepping in for Tina this week. This is an opportunity
to speak about issues that can change this country,” said Dean. “I am
glad to have this opportunity to discuss topics that are of relevance
to all Americans.”
DFIA Delegate Makes New England Paper
Check
out this story in Bay Windows: New England's Largest Gay & Lesbian
Newspaper. It's called “GLBT Presence High at DNC,” and there is
absolutely the cutest photo of Christina Butts right at the top of the
article! She's even got a Dean button on her…um, would you call
that a hat? Antlers? Bunny ears?

To answer the question – What are they?
– Remember the Deely Bopper headgear craze of the mid/late '70's
I loved those stupid things. They were like insect antennas. The
first ones had hearts or smily faces on the ends. This one had two puffy
stars that were printed with the American Flag split into two, with each half
of the flag on each star. I then attached my pins. It was fun and much better
than the HUGE paper hat my roommate made for me, her and the third roomamate.
