This is unbelievable. At 12 years old, Severn Suzuki addressed the United Nations at an Eco Summit in Brazil (1992). What an incredible speech–and, how applicable to today.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has created an online tool to help the members of the Republican Party generate apologies to the almighty Rush Limbaugh. The controversy is provided by Rush Limbaugh openly hoping on his national radio program that President Obama fails in with his stimulus package and pulling the country out of the recession (he obviously still has a job, health insurance and plenty of food in his cupboards). The apology generator was created by Democrats only a few days after Republican-party criticism against Rush Limbaugh was rescinded by: Congressman Phil Gingery (R-GA), Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC), and RNC Chairman, Michael Steel. (Here’s a whole list of articles at USA Today about it).
I think the apology generator is an ingenious invention. While having fun and tinkering with the options, I can see what it feels like to be a member of the modern day Republican Party–forced to swallow the ill-concieved and self-centered rhetoric of a few loud-mouth, evangelical wing-nuts as if it were medicine and somehow good for me. Free will be gone. It’s the party-line, or it’s nothing.

Internet, San Francisco, Writing
There is a new online newspaper for San Francisco-ites: SF Appeal. They launched on Friday, and so far, I love the focus.
It is pretty mind-boggling that there are no real newspapers geared towards San Francisco. The San Francisco Chronical is markedly backwards in their desire for a return to newsprint and in their effort to provide national and international coverage, their SF coverage lacks (in my opinion). The Examiner has almost vanished, and that leaves us with . . . nothing until SF Appeal.
Keep up the good work, SF Appeal, and thanks for covering what matters to me.

Republicans and the bounty hunters that serve them have been taking orders from this guy for too long. In a recent picture, it sparked something . . . .
You decide!
