Fear No Evil

Don't be despondent. Change can happen. (Click on the book's image to see how.)

“Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history. . .” – New York Times Book Review

A Power Governments Cannot Suppress is Howard Zinn’s major new collection of essays on American history, class, immigration, justice, and ordinary citizens who have made a difference.
Even though Bush compares Obama to Nazi appeasers, and feels justified in saying so because he, W, gave up golf for the Iraq War, Olbermann replies:
Olbermann To Bush: "This War Is Not About You...Shut The Hell Up!"

Truer words were never spoken. :>)

These events seem to indicate the Republican attack machine is focusing on the likelihood of Obama securing the nomination. White collar criminals are doing their damnedest to support Rove's sneering legacy:

Limbaugh Wins As Election’s Biggest Manipulator
From attacking Republican frontrunner John McCain early in the process to ‘dreaming’ of – and some say illegally calling for — riots at August’s Democratic National Convention in Denver, all the way to more recent efforts such as “Operation Chaos,” aimed at inserting himself and his followers into the Democratic primaries in an attempt to weaken Barack Obama by supporting Hillary Clinton, the so-called “Limbaugh effect” has garnered excessive attention from the ‘drive-by’ mainstream media that Limbaugh purports to hate but actually depends on and manipulates adroitly.
And Tom Hayden weighs in on Susan Faludi and Hillary Clinton.

Not to be outdone, Garrison Keillor expresses a fine opinion about his beloved country in the International Herald Tribune:

You work hard to be odd and try to have unique problems and a Facebook page that is weirder than everyone else's - fine, it's your life, it's your arm with the crocodile tattoo, not mine, but enjoy this brief period of consanguinity.

Cheers!
