Searching for John McCain is a massive, online activism campaign designed to make at least ten million non-partisan, poll-tested, on-message voter contacts that reveal the damning truth about John McCain entirely through mainstream news reports and McCain’s own words. Through mass blogger participation and the use of embedded hyperlinks, Searching for John McCain will connect millions of curious, low-information swing voters to negative, mainstream news articles about John McCain without 99% of those voters even knowing that Searching for John McCain exists.

To learn how to participate, and to learn how it will work, read on into the extended entry.

BuyBlue.org just mentioned a new egg-vertising scheme, whereby egg shells will be used as a medium for delivering yet more advertising to the consumers:

On Monday, [CBS,] the U.S. broadcast network was to announce plans for placing laser imprints of its trademark eye insignia, as well as logos for some of its shows, on eggs - 35 million of them in September and October.

Lately the Neo-Cons have started a crusade against the New York Times, claiming that they revealed state secrets by publishing an article that talked about the government tracking monetary movement to control potential terrorists.

Journalist Keith Olbermann but together a brilliant piece, showing that for years Bush himself has been making public statements to the same effect. What hypocrisy!

Watch the video of Al Gore being interviewed by Jonathan Freedland about his documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

It is a nice 45 minutes long interview.

Enjoy.

Watch the video of Al Gore being interviewed by Charlie Rose about his documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

It is a nice hour long interview: very well worth watching. Mention is made of Iraq, too.

Enjoy.

Share the Truth! That's what Eric Pan, an ordinary US citizen, set out to do.

Do you want to go to the movies for free? Eric and many generous visitors of his web site offer you a ticket to see An Inconvenient Truth.

Following Eric's and many other people's example, it is by changing little things and caring for each others that we will dramatically change our planet and the global civilization that inhabits it for the better.

Have a look at President Gore's State of the Union Address.

This guy is awesome: I think he should have run for the presidency!

Anyway: that's good material to dream about what we would like to change the world into...

Enjoy.

Have a look at this sad presentation about the ongoing war that the US government in waging in Iraq:
http://www.peacetakescourage.com/3years.html ,
It shows the casualties of war on both sides. Tears shed for a beloved one are as bitter when flowing from the eyes of the mother of a US soldier returning home in a casket, as when flowing from the eyes of a Iraqi father who lost an infant in a raid.

The presentation ends asking that the person who started the war finish it now.

I am not Iraqi, nor am I American. What power do I have to stop THAT war?

Consider a gift of hope . . .

PLAN B 2.0: RESCUING A PLANET UNDER STRESS AND A CIVILIZATION IN TROUBLE
a new book by Lester R. Brown

There is a mounting tide of public concern about where the world is
heading and a growing sense that we need to change course. The high prices

So, too, are the various manifestations of climate change, such as ice
melting, rising sea level, and more destructive storms. When Hurricane
