Let this be the thread for putting Links we wanna share.

Here the first one, for when you have a LOT of time for reading!

And this link is funny if you can appreciate crude sexual humor.

Warning, do not look at work, or if you are easily offended by graphic humor (you will see some male "equipment")

But I can't help it. Too damn funny. When you go there, it may take a minute to load....

A friend who teaches high school social studies sent me this, passed on from one of her students. Kerry speaking to young people--it's good. Kerry on MTV

This is a VERY cool link. Have you ever wanted to buy your clothing from fairly paid Union workers, but ended up at the mall or retail store paying low prices while knowing you were supporting exploitive practices and policies? NOW, all your clothes can be purchased from sweat-shop free Union workers:

Raed in the Middle is a relative newcomer to the Blogs from Iraq... this is the Raed that Salam Pax had been looking for when he asked Where is Raed?

Salam Pax still blogs, but not nearly as often as he had been doing. Raed gives an Iraqi perspective on the current situation. I feel he has a great deal of credibility, and our leaders would do well to read this Blog and take him seriously. He'd been saying for months that things were going to get really bad... looks to me like he's right. Can anyone say "quagmire"?

Liberal Radio! The first liberal radio channel: It's been both streaming and live only 2 weeks. It's live from WLIB 1190 am in NYC. On the Web, it streams live from http://www.airamericaradio.com/ (and the other 5 broadcast cities are listed there, too.) Al Franken is one of the folks behind this, and he's got a program on weekday afternoons.

Also, check out http://www.alfrankenweb.com/forum/index.php]
Al isn't online much. He's not high tech, I gather. This is just like minded folks + a few very annoying conservatives. They're there to raise a little hell, it seems.

Got this in an e-mail from my cousin & thought it was interesting...

AN UNUSUAL DEMOCRAT
(please don't be offended if you are not republican just read)
I am sure most of you know who Zell Miller is --retiring Democratic Senator from Georgia. This is his testimony about our current president. Even (or mostly) Democratic supporters need to read this and pay attention. The very life and future of our country may depend on it.

George Bush vs. the Naive Nine
By ZELL MILLER

As I live and breathe, and if -- as Hank Williams used to say -- the creek don't rise, in 2004 this Democrat will do something I didn't do in 2000. I will vote for George W. Bush for president. I have come to believe that George Bush is the right man in the right place at the right time. And that's a pretty big mouthful coming from a lifelong Democrat who first voted for Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and has voted for every Democratic presidential candidate the 12 cycles since then. My political history to the contrary, this was the easiest decision I think I've ever made in deciding who to support. For I believe the next five years will determine the kind of world my four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will live in. I simply cannot entrust that crucial decision to any one of the current group of Democratic presidential candidates.

Why George Bush? First, the personal; then, the political: I first got to know George Bush when we served as governors together, and I just plain like the man, a man who feeds his dogs first thing every morning, has Larry Gatlin sing in the White House, and knows what is meant by the term "hitting behind the runner." I am moved by the reverence and tenderness he shows the first lady and the unabashed love he has for his parents and his daughters. I admire this man of faith who has lived that line in that old hymn, "Amazing Grace," "Was blind, but now I see." I like the fact that he's the same on Saturday night as he is on Sunday morning. And I like a man who shows respect for others by starting meetings on time.

That's the personal. Now, the political: This is a president who understands the price of freedom. He understands that leaders throughout history often have had to choose between good and evil, tyranny and freedom. And the choice they make can reverberate for generations to come. This is a president who has some Churchill in him and who does not flinch when the going gets tough. This is a president who can make a decision and does not suffer from "paralysis analysis."

This is a president who can look America in the eye and say on Iraq, "We're not leaving." And you know he means it. This is also a president who understands that tax cuts are not just something that all taxpayers deserve, but also the best way to curb government spending. It is the best kind of tax reform. If the money never reaches the table, Congress can't gobble it up.

I have just described George W. Bush. Believe me, I looked hard at the other choices. And what I saw was that the Democratic candidates who want to be president in the worst way are running for office in the worst way. Look closely, there's not much difference among them. I can't say there's "not a dime's worth of difference" because there's actually billions of dollars' worth of difference among them. Some want to raise our taxes a trillion, while the others want to raise our taxes by several hundred billion. But, make no mistake; they all want to raise our taxes. They also, to varying degrees, want us to quit and get out of Iraq. They
don't want us to stay the course in this fight between tyranny and freedom. This is our best chance to change the course of history in the Middle East.

So I cannot vote for a candidate who wants us to cut and run with our shirttails at half-mast. I find it hard to believe, but these naive nine have managed to combine the worst feature of the McGovern campaign -- the President is a liar and we must have peace at any cost -- with the worst feature of the Mondale campaign -- watch your wallet, we're going to raise your taxes. George McGovern carried one state in 1972. Walter Mondale carried one state in 1984. Not exactly role models when it comes to how to get elected or, for that matter, how to run a country.

So, as I have said, my choice for president was an easy decision. And my own party's candidates made it even easier. Note: Mr. Miller is a Democratic senator from Georgia and the author of "A NATIONAL PARTY NO MORE: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat," published last month by Stroud.

In Him,
Tom

I know this is an ad, but I love telling the chicken what to do...
