OK, trying to fix up my credit. My hip is doing better, I plan to do upper body workouts next week.

It's funny to listen to the two major parties tear themselves apart as much as they are tearing each other apart... Maybe that's why we get what we got.
But it is funny to hear the fat dope addict try to slam the Governator, and the whiny-extreme-right-wing commentators saying they would rather vote for Hillary than McCain. But then for the guy spending 35 Million to prop himself up says he's dropping out of the race to keep us safe from terrorists!!!!
Then on "Progressive" radio you get rants on who is Obama bashing or Clinton bashing. There is very little substantive discussion going on. While I'm not the biggest fan of it Democracy Now had a good discussion on the election this week. What is really interesting is what the hell becomes news.
The fact that a former Democrat has jumped to run for President as a Green gets squat for coverage. Last presidential election, there were black candidates for president and vice-president with pro-socialist parties. There have been lots of women running for president for really progressive parties. So when the media says this is the first time that a woman or an African American is running for president - they are LYING!
Oh, and I never did get a list of the "Chicano Movement" organizations supporting Obama. But I did find that MAPA endorsed Kucinich.
KEEP LEFTING!!!
