Ron Paul's Rally Rivals RNC Next Door  Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008  by Connie T. It breaks my heart that I couldn't attend Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic in St. Paul, Minnesota yesterday...the above video of Paul being introduced to the sold-out crowd of 11,320 had tears falling down my cheeks. If you're a member of our forum, of course, you got this video first! The Republican Congressman and former candidate for the Presidency was shunned by the mainstream media, but throughout his convention (next door to the GOP's RNC) and perhaps especially during his 2-minute standing ovation, it became clear that Ron Paul is not only supported by the public, but loved. CNN - who our loyal readers will recall left Paul out of even their primary stats during the caucuses season - has now posted a full article on the Rally for the Republic (thanks, Berni!). There's no mention, of course, of how the TBS-owned station shunned Paul during the debates, nor how they conveniently left him out of most of their election reporting. Nonetheless, the Campaign for Liberty cannot be ignored. Musicians Sara Evans and Aimee Allen performed at the rally (Allen sang, "Start a revolution and break down illegal institutions!") Lew Rockwell, Jesse Ventura, Tucker Carlson, Grover Norquist and Gary Johnson were among those that spoke to the energetic crowd. You can read Ron Paul's full speech at the Campaign for Liberty's website -- his new home -- here. And it's definitely not to late to sign up as a member (of course, free) on Paul's new site, which is already 100,000+ strong. Long live freedom and liberty, my friends! Comments > >

Humane Society Rescues Pets In Path Of Gustav  Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008  by Connie T. Warning: cute puppies ahead! Over the Labor Day weekend, scores of big-hearted Humane Society (HSUS) workers spent their 3-day vacation working as emergency responders in Louisiana, helping evacuate thousands of pets from the path of Hurricane Gustav. The Louisiana SPCA and the Louisiana State Animal Response Team requested the HSUS' assistance to help local authorities and volunteers set up emergency shelters and relocate animals out of harm's way. Thanks to all of their work in Shreveport, these dogs and their owners can rest easy. Please consider making a contribution to the HSUS' Disaster Relief Fund. It enables the HSUS to rescue animals victimized by natural and man-made disasters, keeping them out of harm's way so they don't have to suffer. Comments > >

The Video NBC Was Afraid For You To See  Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008  by Connie T. The Pickens Plan is a community that focuses on the economy, the environment, and national security, but primarily on utilizing a plan for clean natural gas to reduce dependence on foreign oil. T. Boone Pickens of Pickens Plan has a 15 second ad (above) on how the Iranians are moving to power their vehicles by natural gas to free up oil. The ad was cleared by every network...except for NBC, which was apparently wary of revealing that Iran is moving quickly to CNG-powered vehicles while the US is not. NBC has since relented and allowed the ad to air...but we thought we'd let you know that back story, since this is news without strings! Thanks, Pete! Comments > >

The New 90210 Is A 9021-No  Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008  by Connie T. Shame. We tuned into the CW's new spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210 last night. After anticipating the series for most of the summer, I lasted exactly 18 minutes, and couldn't go on. In my late 20's, I have fond memories of growing up to the first series, produced by the late Aaron Spelling. The CW doesn't even come close. Maybe it is geared toward teens and not so much the 18 to 29 demographic - but I can't imagine it's even appropriate for pre-18 categories considering the premier episode had a scene of a guy getting a blow job in his car before the first commercial break. With the return of Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, the gossip that Tori Spelling and Luke Perry might make eventual appearances, and a character played by Lori Laughlin, I thought the show would have something geared towards young- to middle-aged adults. Instead it centers around Shenae Grimes (18), AnnaLynne McCord (21), and Tristan Wilds (19), who participate in flighty dialogue and none of whom look old enough to drive. My TV companion asked if I might not rather tune in to Hannah Montana. And then they throw in poor Jessica Walter as "Tabitha Wilson," whose is forced into the corniest role of all: she dresses like a Golden Girl, is as believable as Mrs. Doubtfire, and has all the charm of Miss Hannigan in Annie. If you'd told me 10 years ago that there would be a 2-hour episode of 90210 I couldn't bear to watch, I'd have begged to differ. Oh, the disappointment. Comments > >

Wait!  There's more!
