*Ø* Blogmanac | Somebody stop them!
As if the unfair media exposure of all candidates wasn't bad enough, or the unfair interpretation of Dean's pep talk for his staffers during which he was laughing, described as "angry!" Yeah--we sure don't want an angry man as president! As Bill Maher said on Real Time " . . . he might START A WAR!" Every single negative thing the media chooses to pick on about the candidates already applies to the Little Napoleon from Crawford!
Two Eyeopeners From Bruce:
The End Of Democracy in the United States?
By Bob Zanelli
A question which hasn't got near enough attention, in my opinion, is the GOP's effort to make their control of power election proof. We got a taste of this when the current war criminal in the White House was elected. Is this paranoia? Or is this a real threat this country faces. Is there a vast right wing conspiracy, or is American Democracy safe? Below is a helpful link from those wild eyed alarmists, the American Humanist Association. Don't expect to hear about this from the already corporate controlled American media. -- Bob Zannelli
Apparently democracy is safe only in Iraq.

The Bush plan to promote marriage? (In case you missed it.)
Call It The Divorce Belt
By Ellis Henican
Holy Britney Spears!
Here's a fact I couldn't find anywhere in George W. Bush's $1.5-billion plan to prop up American marriage.
The pro-Bush red states, especially those in the rural South, have a far higher divorce rate than Al Gore's blue states.
This is the Bible Belt?
Actually, it's more like the Divorce Belt, where the pro-marriage president's staunchest supporters tend to congregate.
For this little nugget, we are indebted to the insightful research of George Barna, who is probably America's leading pollster of religious attitudes. The Barna Research Group of Ventura, Calif., has spent the past 18 years tracking various church and cultural trends.
Trends like Baptists (29 percent) and nondenominational Christians (34 percent) getting divorced more frequently than do atheists/agnostics (21 percent).
Forget all that family-values talk from the Religious Right.
"Divorce rates among conservative Christians were much higher than for other faith groups," Barna says flatly.
And to think: I'd always heard that godless relativists in places like New York were undermining marriage.
Well, not so you'd notice on the marital-political map.
