It's about time Democrats stood up to FOX! The White House communications director said FOX is a "wing of the Republican Party...let's not pretend they're a news network."
To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not appear on FOX for the rest of this year.
I signed a petition urging Democrats to support President Obama's stance by staying off FOX as long as he does. Can you join me at the link below?

Dá-lhe Azenha!
Veja mais sobre Dilma e as pérolas do Montenegro, do Ibope, que no meu ibope conta zero!!
Blog do Azenha
Como ele lembra: “No Brasil de hoje, esperar que um repórter faça as perguntas lógicas é pedir muito.”

Vergonha de jornalismo!
Monica Waldvogel e GNT em uma brilhante aula de jornalismo da pior qualidade.
Entre aspas
E ela pergunta: “…então houve manipulação da opinião pública?”
Mesmo pra quem quer ser manipulado, mesmo pra quem acha cool ser contra a Dilma, ficou difícil fingir que engole a isenção da “jornalista”. Mais difícil ainda foi manter aquele lead (meu deus quem é o editor desse negócio???)
Quando a gente pensa que nao tem jeito de ficar pior, eles arrumam um jeito

Shark Week
You get to see it and tell your friends about it:
Dangerous sharks are trying to kill the public option for health care.
Peace!

O Ministério da Educação tem um site que permite acesso a obras em domínio público. Eu utilizei o site muitas vezes e, além de livros, ele também permite acesso a imagens e música. O site não tem sido acessado com frequência e por isso corre o risco de ser desativado. Como no episodio das bilbiotecas paulistanas, o problema não é que as pessoas não o queiram usar, necessariamente. O problema principal é que não se divulga a existência desse serviço. Imagino que sobreutdo estudantes de todos os níveis se beneficiariam com o acervo do site, pois há obras clássicas que podem ser lidas on line, sem custo nenhum para o leitor.
Por favor, divulgue a existencia desse site junto à sua escola, organização, blog e grupo de amigos. É importante abrir novos canais como esse e não deixar morrer os poucos que existem.
Aqui vai o link www.dominiopublico.gov.br

Be vigilant!
Dear friends,
Two weeks ago outside Philadelphia, sixty-five children from a summer camp tried to go swimming at a club their camp had a contract to use. Evidently, the club didn't know the kids were largely Black.
When the campers entered the pool, White parents took their kids out of the water, and the swimming club's staff asked the campers to leave. The next day, the club told the summer camp that their membership would be canceled and that they would refund their money. When asked why, the club's leader said the "kids would change the complexion ... and the atmosphere of the club."
A "Whites only" pool in 2009 should not be tolerated. The club's actions appear to be a violation of section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act. Whether or not any laws were violated, a "Whites only" pool should be something every American condemns.
I've just joined ColorOfChange.org in doing exactly that -- will you join me, and email your friends and family asking them to do the same? We're also calling on the Department of Justice to evaluate suing the facility under federal law. It takes just a moment to do both, here:
http://www.colorofchange.org/swim/?id=1822-621341
Obama is President but that doesn't mean that suddenly all is fine when it comes to race in America. This is a vivid reminder of what we know still lies beneath the surface.
We all know stories like this one -- similar incidents play out quietly every day in different communities across the country. The difference in this case is that folks got caught and there was a contract in place that makes for a potentially illegal act.
Standing up now isn't just about making things right for these kids in Philadelphia or bringing consequences to this swim club (called the Valley Swim Club). It's about creating a climate of accountability everywhere. If we can publicly shame the Valley Swim Club and hold them accountable for this incident, it will make others think twice before engaging in this kind of discrimination.
Please join me in condemning the Valley Swim Club's blatant discrimination and calling on the Justice Department to investigate whether they violated civil rights laws. And please ask your friends and family to do the same.
Thanks,
PAZ!
