The Commandments of Coyote

Now, don't these just make more frickin' sense? Thanks to Anne for pointing them out.

Your "Liberal" Media

Atrios had something on it last night, but the best documentation is in the LJ community blackfolk (thanks to rmjwell for pointing it out):

White people "shop" or "find", black people "loot".

Update: Thanks to valkyrwench for aiming me to this. A must-read.

Dunno how long this is going to last, but to celebrate their 10th anniversary Opera (normally $39 for a registered version) is giving away registration codes if you give them your e-mail address.

Good Night And Good Luck

It is a time of fear.

An ongoing war against a threat to our society, our very way of life, is used as justification to shove repressive and unjustifiable legislation through government. People's loyalty, their very patriotism, is questioned if they don't toe the line. Careers are at risk; lives are at stake.

Many believe that certain elements in the media, particularly Hollywood, are "liberal", that they pose a threat to the government.

They're right.

Because we saw this shit pulled fifty years ago. And a few brave souls spanked the perpetrators' evil asses on national television and helped turn their leader's name into a synonym for repression.

Catch the trailer for George Clooney's new film Good Night And Good Luck.

URGENT NOTICE For Those Driving To Dragon*Con

Just heard a few minutes ago on Air America Radio that the Metro Atlanta area might have a hell of a time getting gasoline by the weekend. The region is serviced by two main pipelines that Katrina has screwed up (by taking out the electrical infrastructure so that the big pumps don't run). So, plan your gasoline use carefully, and fill up whenever you can, whatever the price. Tennessee and southern Georgia seem like good bets, but don't take chances.

CD Baby and Music for Charity

CD Baby has a page of artists who are donating the profits from their albums sold through CD Baby to the American Red Cross for disaster relief. I'm on that list. So, if you happen to want a copy of And They Say I've Got Talent and you want to help out as well, diz muz be da blayze.

Full Of Smite

I wonder if the jerkface religious whackos who are already saying that God sent Hurricane Katrina to destroy New Orleans because of a gay rally to be held there this week (a notion handily dismantled, as if it really needed to be, on About.com's Urban Legends page) realize how much they sound like terrorists groups taking credit for the most recent atrocity.
