(I was privileged to receive an email from Memphis City Councilman Kemp Conrad. I post it here in its entirety. I like most everything about this plan. I encourage Memphis voters to read it and then in turn encourage your Councilpersons to vote for Conrad's plan.)

Hell of a video. Thinking black people are moving past that "Obama represents me no matter what" support that has enabled him in this warmongering shit.
YouTube took the original video down for bogus reasons. It's been put back up, but if it gets censored again, go to this page for an alternative source.
Obama attacked another sovereign country today without a Congressional declaration of war. That is clearly an impeachable offense. There is no reason for long, drawn-out hearings. The votes are there in the Republican-majority House of Representatives to vote an impeachment resolution. The Senate may not convict, but it will be a good thing for my country anyway. It will likely save American
This list will change as Memphis Comcast engineers move channels around from one number to another and scramble and unscramble and even remove some of them from time to time. Click this term "Clear QAM" for a Wiki introduction to the subject. If you have a fairly recent cable-ready HDTV, it can probably tune these channels in. Just bypass any Comcast set-top box you're using and screw the cable

Repost. Why tamper with perfection? Well, because some asshole scrubbed last year's Rascals video, so I've plugged in an alternate.
Here's a great tune to kick off New Year's Eve for you, the Young Rascals doing their megahit version of The Olympics' original, "Good Lovin'":
You can listen to the Rascals' 45rpm version here; and you can see the Olympics themselves doing the song on the 60's
Saturnalia? What's that? Well, it's the Roman festival that Christmas was superimposed on, but without the parthenogenesis claims.
This is too involved for a mere obscure update to a post of mine that is still popular all over the world: Foxy Jacky Link Dump.

[I'm bumping this February 2006 post of mine back up to the top of my blog because of its renewed relevance to the Koran burning uproar.]
Religious and culture clash caused by the Danish cartoons made me think about why Abrahamic monotheism prohibits images of its god and -- in its Islamic branch -- its principal prophet, Muhammad. Let's take it from the top, so to speak:
