Local Progressive Talk in the South Sound area of WA State


| | | | | | | |

If you live in Seattle you may be able to get this station, if you can not then you can listen live online or even listen to the archived shows. Tacoma and Lakewood areas have great coverage (including McChord AFB and Fort Lewis).

This is not a big station. They have a mix of progressive, liberal, left, buisness, and even con shows.

It would help out a lot if many of you who live in this area or even those of you who do not would listen and promote the show I have linked below and this station so that we can make it grow and hopefully add more local progressive shows.

Join in on the blog at the link below. Please leave some comments.

December 15th - do You Know what day this is?

This saturday Dec. 15th 2007 is Bill Of Rights Day.

I would expect to see the liberal/progressive blogs pushing this as a way to fund raise for our candidates and for our rights, but I see little.

Here is a passionate submission to the local publication, The Tahoma Organizer, by my friend Michelle. She, and the Organizer, have been invaluable in this community for being a voice for all of us who care what's happening in our world. Please take a moment to read:

This is Michelle's story and her words.

If you are human, this will touch you.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t look you in the eye when I saw you in the McDonalds line today.

Cheney's Law - Frontline

I thought I would make this a 'diary' instead of just a comment in the GD

If you did not see Frontline today, then please check your listings and watch the "Cheney's Law" episode.

Here is the link to the Frontline site for this episode:

Excuse my language but... Why Are These Fuckers NOT In Jail!?

I swear that they ignore EVERY piece of OUR Constitution! Especially the part that says "We The People"!

Army Of Dude and Broken Skull

Let me start by stating that I have never been a big fan of the military. I always leaned more towards the dislike of the military because of what it does and stands for - death and destruction (I know, it is needed at times). Wes Clark helped turn that train of thought a little bit.

All to often we argue with tough guy righties (some who are in the military) who think war is cool, glamorous and that we need war to prove how tough we are.

Some can never be changed (they are boneheads with more testosterone then brains).

IAVA and the New Video

Below is what I sent in an email to IAVA and others. How does it make you feel? What are your thoughts?

I and some others just saw your new video.

We are not happy.

I have been a big supporter of IAVA and Paul Rieckhoff. I am also a big Wes Clark supporter and when you do things like this it makes me question my support.

Why is this video a good thing? Seems like something the righties would put together.

With all that goes on with women in the military getting raped, mistreated, etc. ... why is it a good thing for IAVA to sex up war? To use women in a sexist way?

Where is the OCE crowd when it comes to Labor and Unions?

Why do I hear NOTHING from the OCE crowd (obama clinton edwards) when We The People are being fucked over once again.

Working to kill unions on LABOR Day Weekend! This should be a FUCKING HUGE story! This story and Our Actions should have legs... Running Loud Stomping Legs!

Kill The Unions!

Yep.. that is EXACTLY what they are trying to do! If you can not outsource the work to another country, then out source the labor within Our Own Country!

Live Earth Open Thread

I think every major blog NEEDS a Live Earth Thread!

So this is my lame attempt.

Here is the main website link:
http://www.liveearth.org

Want to watch LIVE online? Go Here:
http://liveearth.msn.com

Seems like if you want to see it on TV, most people will only be able to see it on NBC tonight at 8pm.

But... It is on BRAVO right now! They are showing a really good mix of shows and Good Earth info and videos.

Why is it not on MTV or VH1? .. oh... they USED to be music stations and USED to fake social awareness and caring.

The Army Corps of Engineers internal investigation into the floodgate pumps is out, and it is a blockbuster. The news is horrible.
