October 2004

EVENT: CONNOR

I often express more distaste for Nader and other third party presidential candidates than I do for Republicans.

In fact, not only do I fully acknowledge this seeming contradiction, but I would argue that, in fact, such distaste is consistant with my hopes for a more progressive, egalitarian society.

Unofficial Vote4Nader Blog

http://vote4nader.blogspot.com/

I promised to post links to at least two blogs explicitly divergent from my own political beliefs.

This is the first of the two. It is not so much a blog in the sense of a structured commentary on running events as it is a compilation of articles and events put together by Morgan, a fervent Nader supporter.

EVENT: CONNOR

It’s been a couple days, and I’m afraid it’s going to be a few more: I’m back at the hospital, 40 hours per week as of tomorrow.

More on that later.

I don’t have the time tonight to read/research political stuff (my “Pyramid politics” thing will have to wait), but I’ll open a couple cans of worms for chewing in the meantime.

Stolen from… fuckifIknow. Somebody.

I got the greatest e-mail ever today!

From helpwin@yesbushcan.com

RatherGate proved that bloggers are the best fact checkers. That is

why we are writing to a few bloggers asking for help.

Yes Bush Can has collected several documents that are clearly suspect.

The Blog from Another Dimension

You probably thought I was going to start close to home and work out, but I didn’t!

While Luis is an American, he lives in Japan.

He also dislikes Bush with a vehemence almost unparalleled among the blogs I’ve profiled recently.

Yesterday.

But today, he writes:

“So far the new season of “Saturday Night Live” has been noticeably more enjoyable than in the past. The reason, I think, is more topical humor. When they stray into New York humor is when they lose me.

Here’s the post-debate post, as promised.

Here’s what the DNC has asked me to do, as part of their Media Corps.:

We need your help to keep the Republican spin machine in check –write letters to your local newspapers and call in to local radio stations.

EVENT: CONNOR

Feeling activist tonight? Look for a post shortly following the debate to find out what you can do to help.

Radiohead? Khufu? Bombs? Dantè? What?! An “informal essay” I’ve been working on. Look for it tomorrowish.

More blogs! My tour of political blogs continues!

Chapati Mystery

While I cast about the midwest looking for a good midwestern blog to link to, I’m back in Chicago with this blog. Sepoy is a doctoral student and lecturer in History and South Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago.
