So I Was Going To Do A Rather Moving Post…

After hearing about President Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, I was motivated to write a blog entry discussing the irony of such an event.  Upon further retrospection, I realized that this past year has been full of ironic events and I went on making a list tallying them down.  I was rather enthused about making this blog entry but my podcast episode took longer to post than I anticipated.  Because of this and also the fact that the year isn’t quite over, I decided to stall that blog entry for a later date.  In the meantime, enjoy these YouTube clips about D Rep. Alan Grayson’s stance on the Republicans stalling tactics and Keith Olbermann’s moving op-ed piece on Healthcare:

Greg Palast’s “Theft of the 2008 Election” on youtube

Once seeing as how Greg Palast put his news special on youtube (I only heard it in audio form in Democracy Now!) I couldn’t help but post it on this blog as well to continue spreading the word.  For your viewing pleasure:

Part 2:

Don’t let your right to vote be taken from you

I was listening to yesterday’s podcast episode of Democracy Now! when a particular news segment began to infuriate me.  They were talking about how the voting system is being rigged by both the Democrats and the Republicans to suit their needs.  I found this very appalling and felt this story should reach the masses.  I’m doing my part by mass emailing people the link to this story and posting it on twit and on the forums that I linger on.  I will also be discussing this on an upcoming podcast episode of my how and of course post the link here as well.  There is no reason people should be in the dark on this story.  Everyone should have their right to vote and not have their voice suppressed by some hucksters in the political machine.
