8/29/08: Historic days

Yesterday, Obama accepted his nomination with a speech. He focused on MLK, because 45 years ago yesterday, MLK gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. McCain is also supposed to name his pick for VP today as well, as today is his 72nd birthday.

Also, today is the 3rd anniversary for the landfall of Katrina, and now N.O. is about to get raped again by a hurricane, this time the name is Gustav. Speaking of which, I hope you bought your gas recently, because Gustav is going to hit the gulf coast, and we all know what that means.

Also, according to democracynow.org (and The Hill), Obama staffers censored a line in a fiery Kucinich speech. The line read, "They're asking for another four years-in a just world, they'd get ten to twenty." Also, Asa Eslocker, a producer for ABC News, was arrested yesterday for 'tresspassing', while he was trying to take pictures for a series on the role of corporate lobbyists. Both stories are just simply utter rubbish. This just goes to show that no matter whether their is a D or an R beside the candidate, there will not be any change or evolution in this country without a revolution. We need to start supporting third party candidates, such as Ralph Nader and Ron Paul (though Paul ran Republican this year).
