MICHAEL POWELL RESIGNS!!

Ahh...if you're recovering from yesterday...I am here at least to provide you with some more positivity. Including:

*Michael Powell has decided to resign from the office of head of the FCC. Okay...I can't guarantee that the Administration won't find someone just as backwards to replace him, but at least that man is going...and I suggest that you e-mail, call, fax, write your Congressfolk about how you'd like to have someone DECENT as head of the FCC. Not someone who's trying to censor our media and push the Adminstration's exclusive agenda.

*The headlines: The Washington Post - "An Ambitious President Advances His Idealism" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24961-2005Jan20.html?referrer=email

The New York Times: "The President's Speech Focuses on Ideals, Not The Details" http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/21/national/nationalspecial2/21assess.html?th

MSNBC: "Bush vows to spread liberty around the world" Their question of the day is "Do you think it's America's job to spread freedom around the world?" I say go visit www.msnbc.com and add your own distinct answer to that question.

CNN: Okay it's not a headline BUT it's good news as BOTH Condoleeza Rice's and Alberto Gonzales' Senate approval will be delayed.

The Boston Globe: Themes That Stir Supporters, Critics

*Apparently on TV yesterday afternoon, conservative columnist/pundit George Will remarked as he watched the Presidential parade go by: "This looks like a Banana Republic!...some military showing!" And Peggy Noonan at the Wallstreet journal said that it all "gave [her] a bad feeling..."
(thank my mom for the George Will comment as she called and told me about it as she watched it on TV and a co-worker told me about the Peggy Noonan comment).

*The Bush's were back at the White House last night by 10:03pm. On Charlie Rose last night, someone wondered why Washingtonians don't care for George much (outside the obvious). One of the commentators mentioned that it is because they do not KNOW him. He's either inside the White House or in Crawford, Texas clearing brush. "He and Laura do not entertain and do not go out." Apparently, when people do meet him, he's quite charming, tells a good story...he can't and shouldn't run anything more complicated than a water hose, but he's a nice guy...

*Nightline, Wednesday did a story on voter irregularities. Yeah, it only took them til NOW to talk about this, BUT at least they did acknowledge that the main reason they did was the FLOOD OF E-MAILS they have continued to get. If ever there was a sign to keep that up, there it is.

IN THE MEANTIME, someone PLEASE send e-mails to this sad individual at this "Christian" activist group that has put out a "gay warning" on Spongebob Squarepants?

Things officially do not bode well for the 2nd term President, and as he does need to be held accountable so KEEP E-MAILING! E-mail, call, fax, write your friends, your family, THE PRESS and your Congressfolk. They need to know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!! Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
