Watching John Fogerty on Public 21 back with the Creedence catalog, then I realize I’m missing Amazon Adventures on History Channel featuring ethnobotanical pioneer Richard Evans Schultes… gotta check the rerun…
There are two excellent online pieces that anyone trying to make sense of our current political situation should read and study:
Robert Kennedy Jr.'s massively detailed (204 footnotes!) expose of 2004 voter fraud in Ohio published in Rolling Stone:

U of Michigan Economist Dean Baker's free online e-book "The Conservative Nanny State," which explains the major economic issues of our day in layman's language and makes the argument that far from being "free-marketeers" today's so-called "conservatives" are really corporate welfare queens who demand and benefit from government intervention into markets. For those of us who never got past Econ 101, this is the best explanation I know of of how such things as The Fed, free trade agreements, and immigration policy work---and work to benefit top-heavy CEO-dominated corporations.

Get your Jackson Pollock on.
just reviewing my fresh direct order prior to its arrival. they send an itemized bill once its on its way. one item stood out -- five dollars for two red beets. at 1.49 a pound thats 3.41 pounds for two freakin' beets. sounds like someones thumb was on the scale or theyre growing beets the size of watermelon, one of which is itself on the way. uncharacteristically, however, i stopped by the farmers market in union square, and guess what i bought, white beets, and beet greens, along with spinach and dill. and i also ordered some golden beets from fresh direct. so its three beet salad for the rest of the week and watermelon smoothies.

Although Coulter also criticized 9-11 widows for "cutting commercials" for Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA) during his 2004 presidential campaign against Bush, Lauer failed to note that other 9-11 widows made campaign appearances for Bush. As Newsday reported September 25, 2004:
[A]t the Republican National Convention, Debra Burlingame, whose brother piloted the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Pentagon, was one of three women who spoke in highly personal terms of their loss. She told the Associated Press yesterday she, too, was willing to make campaign appearances for Bush to outline her differences with the pro-Kerry families. "They want people fired, and I think we've moved on from that," she said."

3:00 AM - Ken Burns Presents: Professional Wrestling (part 10) Nothing really expresses the repressed homosexual longing at the heart of the American experience quite like the sight of beefy men in mustaches and tights groaning and grimacing as they gallop and heave against each other for an audience of young men who put their posters on their walls. How many professional wrestling characters would look out of place in the Village People? (Answer: zero.) Ken Burns brings this uniquely American activity to life in his own inimitable style. Today’s episode: Koko B. Ware breaks the parrot barrier, and ushers in a new era in wrestling pets.
9:00 PM - Ken Burns Presents: Strat-O-Matic Baseball (Episode 4) Perhaps nothing expresses the repetitive, soulless horror of the American experience quite like Strat-O-Matic Baseball, which is a baseball game you can play with dice, a crap load of cards and pieces of paper, and a rule book the size of Detroit. Big big nerds like George Will relive their favorite Strat-O-Matic memories, like that one time the bases were loaded with two out in the ninth and Gary Carter was up against Bob Stanley, and he rolled a 6-2-3 and hit a homerun and it was awesome! Peter Gammons lives in a baseball-shaped house, his bed is shaped like home plate, and he has a scrapbook of his most memorable Strat-O-Matic box scores. You think I’m kidding, but if you think about it for a minute and you’ll know it’s true. In tonight’s episode, the lefty vs. righty advantage is factored in to the rules. But will switch hitting be properly balanced?
