What do they have to do to lose your vote? [31 Oct 2008|02:11am]
Howard Zinn, historian and author of The People's History of the United States, said that he was planning to vote for Obama. A few days ago, he emailed Nader admitting that this was a mistake. He now pledges to vote for Nader Gonzalez. He said that because he lives in Mass, a sure thing for Obama (58% to 34%), he is voting for Nader and encourages all who live in slam dunk states (non-swing states) to do the same. Oregon is a sure thing at 53% vs 37%.If you want to check your state's numbers: http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/dashboardIf you actually think that anti-palestine, pro-patriot act, pro-death penalty, pro military expansion, corporate puppet Obama is better than Nader, or that the Democrats represent a progressive agenda, check out this essay by Matt Gonzalez:http://www.votenader.org/blog/2008/10/29/what-do-they-have-to-do/Please please please do the right thing people. Nader won 2.74% of the popular vote in 2000 but because of the corporate media myth that he spoiled florida for gore (among other things, bush stole florida, this is a fact) he only got 0.38% in 2004. He is now polling around 2 or 3% again. Let's do better than 2000 and send a message to the corporate parties that we haven't gone away. Susan B Anthony didn't live to see women get the right to vote, but she kept fighting. This vote is a statement about what's right. Don't throw your vote away on Barrack Obama.

001collective is a brand-new torrent-based music collective of folk, pop and electronic artists who want to share their stuff online for free. My top recommendations are both of Shelby Sifers' albums, Dustin and the Furniture, Secret Owl Society and Errand Boy. Or you can download tinyfolk or whatever (start with the new stuff). Anyway, check that shit out, lots of great free new music there.

Sorry for those who already know this, or if this has been posted about before... but I didn't know that Kurt Cobain had a K shield tattooed on him?_Musician Kurt Cobain had the K Records logo tattooed on his forearm, saying it was to "try and remind me to stay a child." It is mentioned in the song "Lounge Act," which was written about Bikini Kill co-founder, Tobi Vail. ("I'll arrest myself / I'll wear a shield")_It's funny that this would be the only tattoo Kurt ever had, of all things.
