Mike Gordon will be playing at an outdoor concert at the Waterfront park in Burlington, VT tonight at 7! Bernie Sanders will be making an appearance as well.

This diary is more of a roll call than anything else. I'll be there with my family, anyone else heading out?

The event is part of a larger Lake Champlain Maritime Festival, which is honestly something I've never heard of, despite living here over 10 years. Just goes to show you that you can never be fully aware of everything happening in your own town!

I wanted to use pictures of Mike and Bernie, but I am terrified that it would violate something, since they are such public people, and I can't find any pictures of them in my archives of photos. (though I have plenty of Leahy, Dean, Jeffords, Clavelle, etc)

Any locals going? I plan to put up some pictures after this event.

A house committee is going to vote to cut funding for PBS and NPR. This was always a rumor, but now the actual vote is TMW! We need to send a clear message to the religious idiots that are behind this outrage. About the ONLY thing I would watch on TV if I watched TV would be PBS!

You just know this is due to that Buster Bunny episode that featured a gay couple in Vermont.

We are seeing the Pat Robertson Futre (TM) unfold little by little. Can Prohibition II, the Bottle Fights Back, be on the horizon with these people?

Where does it all end? Sheesh. Read More

Att'n: Tiffany Benna, Team Leader

I urgently ask that you consider the fate of the very last of the ancients before turning them into needless paper. Those old trees hold a sacred power that is greater than the greatest of us; to be bought, sold, and sawed to pieces is an Act that will further denigrate our species and lower our overall consciousness. There are thousands of ways to mitigate the "problem" that these paper firms complain about, but it seems all they care about is killing our planet. Please consider any of the other alternatives suggested, for each ancient tree that dies, a significant amount of human consciousness is sacrificed.

Depleted Uranium Rounds (U238) uses spent nuclear rods and waste to make highly effective munitions. These bullets, rounds, missiles, etc. have far-reaching environmental implications, not to mention the fact that our soldiers are subjected to nuclear waste on a daily basis. When pulling a trigger and shooting a bullet with DU tips, it releases a bit 'o gas that is downright dastardly:

From Axis-logic:

"...Unlike natural uranium, which is soluble, breathed uranium oxide particles are insoluble, and become lodged in the human body if breathed, remaining there for many years, causing a host of diseases. Uranium oxides are mutagenic, attacking the genetic code which allows the human race to reproduce without crippling mutation. " Read More
