Our President told the debate audience, "You cannot lead if you send mexxed missiges." I certainly hope not.
But that's exactly what we got. You watch our President, the nervous hand-hiding, the compulsive water-glass-fondling, the panicked I-wish-I-had-a-whiskey look, and you think, "My god, this is the guy who's supposed to save us from al Qaeda." (Show me more...)
These events are fun, informative, and empowering. If you want, you can even turn the event into a benefit for your local candidate or democratic organization.
WHAT IS A HOUSE PARTY?
Traditionally a house party is an event that takes place at someone's home. But you can hold a party wherever you can get permission to use a TV and DVD player.

While most people have heard of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which comes out on video Oct. 5, few have heard of "Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy," which goes on sale Tuesday on DVD.
Greg Palast, who reports for BBC TV's "Newsnight" and produced "Bush Fortunes," was the first to capture Lt. Col. Bill Burkett on film stating that he witnessed the destruction of President Bush's National Guard records, some of the same records that have recently landed CBS News and anchorman Dan Rather in hot water.

Document 199-I and The FBI’s Words to Chill The Soul

On November 9, 2001, when you could still choke on the dust in the air near Ground Zero, BBC Television received a call in London from a top-level US intelligence agent. He was not happy. Shortly after George W. Bush took office, he told us reluctantly, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the FBI, "were told to back off the Saudis." (Show me more...)

Tells Convention He’s Ordered Invasion of Social Security Trust Fund

New York - Of all the bone-headed, whacky, breathtakingly threatening schemes George W. Bush is trying to sell us in his acceptance speech tonight is something he and his handlers call, "the Ownership Society." Sounds cool, "ownership." Everyone gets a piece of the action. Everyone's a winner as the economy zooms. All boats rise. (Show me more...)

[News Flash - Tuesday midnight: Theresa LePore has just lost re-election to Democrat Art Anderson. The challenger ran on a platform opposing LePore's paperless voting machines. Wipe that grin off your face: the notorious "Madame Butterfly Ballot" remains to supervise, in her unique manner, the presidential vote in November. (Show me more...)
Bush Family Fortunes, available on DVD September 28th, was screened this last weekend in Philadelphia at the Lost Film Festival with Executive Producer, Matt Pascarella.
Some reviews of the Fest from Philadelphia's local papers:
"Greg Palast's Bush Family Fortunes appears to be the big find, being that Fahrenheit 9/11 was inspired by (i.e. roundly ripped-off) its fevered take-down of the seated president. Not that it's just Dubya everyone's peeved at."
