Murphy’s Law: A verdict is in. One hour from now (12:35PM PT) Damn it all.
Tell all your friends in SoCal: Rapid Response Network is organizing a rally TUESDAY to protest the press’ lack of coverage of the Downing Street Memo.
LOCATION: The Santa Maria, Calif. courthouse, the site of Michael Jackson’s trial, and where 2,200 journalists are camped out.
destroying our democracy by not fulfilling their role in the 4th
estate. They’re covering stories that don’t matter (Jackson) over
stories that do (Downing Street Memo), and it’s about time that people
like you and me take the problem to them.
It’s not enough to sign a petition. Its not enough to just write
letters. Both are a bit lazy and don’t “show” in real terms (i.e.
footage of a huge group of people) public outcry. A real, live human
being showing up at a rally is always a better story than “our office
received a letter.”
If you’re nearby and can attend, send an e-mail to downingact@yahoo.com. “If you want to volunteer as a press liaison, crowd manager, or site scout, please let me know at the above email address.”
just brilliant.
Isn’t it?!!! I’m just the messenger. My pal Norma sent this to me, and I asked her if I could put it up. I cross-posted at Daily Kos.
If possible, it’d be worth it to blow airline miles on a fast trip there!
I just e-mailed Norma and told her that we should try to contact all the college groups nearby. I think there are a slew of colleges around there.
DailyKos
CNN reporting that a verdict in the Jacko case is in.
Damn … MSNBC is saying they’re getting conflicting info.
I’m betting a vegan hotdog that he’s guilty.
that’s not a bet I want to win 🙂
Honest! They’re really good! Try the Yves Chili dogs. All the Safeways sell them here. Very tasty. (I’d tell you if they were strange tasting.)
Plus they don’t have that god-knows-what-offal mystery meat in them.
Yves is a Canadian company. Their products are infinitely better than the old veggie foods.

I guess that turns this into a Jacko thread 🙂
Let’s do it. I’m not above talking about Jacko.
And poor Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
Will he go into custody immediately? I suppose so.
…testing!
