Disney backs anti-Moore film
June 30, 2004
Disney, which refused to distribute “Fahrenheit 9/11″ on the grounds that it is a thought provoking and truthful representation of how we were manipulated into the quagmire that Iraq has become political film, apparently has no problem with getting behind a film that they are praising as the anti-F9/11 . So now Disney is collaborating [...]
Group calls for e-voting audit
June 30, 2004
This sounds like a very reasonable proposal. I bet Jeb! shoots it down like a voter-mandated initiative. Gov. Jeb Bush should increase voter confidence by calling Florida’s Legislature into special session to order an independent audit of the state’s voting system, a group of South Florida activists said Tuesday. The organization, which calls itself the [...]

June 30, 2004
Hillsborough Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a 51 year old woman for handing out literature at an AMC theater. There were cops at every AMC theater that I am aware of.

Castor, Deutsch share AFL-CIO endorsement
June 28, 2004
And Miami Mayor Alex Penelas was snubbed because his police force beat the shit out of some Union members during the FTA protests. Penelas has also been criticized for stopping the vote counting during the 2000 election – many feel that he left Al Gore hanging out to dry. Fuck Alex Penelas. The labor group [...]

Fuck the fundamentalists
June 26, 2004
Dave runs a blog which seems pretty liberal, open minded, fair, and all that. That’s why I had a link to his blog on my blog. But now I’m having second thoughts.

“Fahrenheit 9/11″
June 25, 2004
Just saw it. It’s everything you’ve heard. And more. Go see it. And if the theater chain in your neighborhood is strictly enforcing the age limits for this particular “R” rated movie, offer to buy some unaccompanied kids their tickets. Kids need to see this. They’re the ones who are gonna be killing and dying [...]
Davis wants to overturn Cuba travel rules.

Jim Davis is taking advantage of the Bush administration’s mishandling of Cuba. Yeah, like most other things they have touched, they have managed to screw things up there too. New travel restrictions designed to make W look tough against Castro have actually created a rift in the Cuban exile community, which traditionally votes strongly Republican. [...]
