So already before the actual convention there have been nonstop reports coming from all over the media about the hundreds of thousands of protesters in Manhattan and around Madison Square Garden. On friday evening the Times Up organization assembled their "Critical Mass" and swarm the streets with thousands of bicyclists. About 250 were arrested for various charges, one in particular threw a beer

In the last few days I have been spending some of my time online trying to figure out more about this blogging stuff. I find it to be very facinating, seeing how I have been online for about ten years now and have not done this before. I have been surfing around through the other blogs out there and have come across many interesting sites. I have contacted those who have been what I would call

I am really getting appalled at the attack on Vietnam Vets through presidential candidate John Kerry. My father and two of my uncles served during the Vietnam War they also volunteered during times of the draft. They didn't wait for their number to be called. I just don't believe that these people on the right want to question what John Kerry did. What we know of the two candidates is that during

Just as I have said before the convention in New York will be profound. It looks as though the number of non-supporters of the Bush Administration, will out-number the supporters and Delegates. This to me shows that this country is ready for change and are willing to show up and say so. As I take my voyage to the Big Apple I hope to be able to provide for any readers of my blog a report of the

I would like to welcome my first blogging friend bigclumsyoaf and his blog http://bootsblog.blogspot.com. His blog is one of a grand proportion 1,001 reasons to not vote for Bush, I especially like the recent posts #'s 91,92,93, and of course #97. I just hope Boots that you can reach the final number by Nov. 2nd. Oh and don't forget reason #? Was owner of the Texas Rangers. During my time before

Yesterday during a speech *President George W. Bush said to his constituants present and all voters in TVland that John Kerrys tax roll back plan won't be able to pay for the policies he describes. W says that you can't get enough money from taxing rich Americans and that if his (Kerrys) tax plans go forward that the middle class would foot the bill. Now I say isn't that what happened with the

The Mayor of New York City Micheal Bloomberg offers perks to the protesters gathering for the Republican National Convention. The move is to entice those who might get violent at the event to curb their enthusiasm. I believe this is a good move, I certainly don't want to be caught up in a bunch of chaotic protesters path while I am there. I will be looking for my button. Here check out these

Welcome to my first small installment of "the Faction-CMJ" doesn't that have a Law and Order kind of sound to it? I like it. Now to the point-On the Fox News Channel (which should actually be dubbed Fox Entertainment News Channel) they put a lot of money and advertising into a program that likes to distort information toward their conservative traditionalist ideas known as "The O'reilly Factor".

Alright I want it known that I did predict that activism at the RNC in NYC will predominate the DNC in Boston. I told my father, brother, and have had discussions with friends after the DNC talking about how the protesters were not that prevelant. And it was not that the media wasn't trying to cover it, I saw many programs showing and covering different groups who were there to protest their

So what’s going on with our country? Are we really heading toward a better economy? Are we really getting safer? Will our relationships improve with the rest of the free world? The current administration and all of the people benefiting from the policies want us to take from all of the information out on the economy, our security, and our alliances that the direction we are heading in is a better

I recently sent this message out to my email address book and decided that it was good enough an argument to post to my blog. This year in 2004, we as Americans face a vital decision that will impact the future of our children and our country. On November 2nd we will go to the polls and elect our next president who will lead our country in the direction of their respective party. What we need to

In the header it states that I am objective, although this is true with most conversations I take part in and it really annoys many people, I do have to state that I am objective like Fox News is objective. Therefore I am very objectively subjective, make sense anyone? I plan to write in this blog a commentary on the times we are living today, the times we have seen in our history, and where we
