Clinton lied-no one died.
But, this article from 'the Nation'is more about the assault on our civil rights during the Bush Administration.

Fun Video Web Site
I've wandered across another fun web site. This one has short videos, most funny, some outright wierd, that people post themselves.
Check it out, but a high speed connection would be helpful, I imagine.
When you get to the site so a search for "mother's day" and "evolution of Dance" my two favorites so far

Reach Out and Track Someone
We already knew about the Bush's adminstration illegal spying of US citizens that has been going on. This week we learned that the phone records of up to a trillion (yes, trillion with a T) of everyday Americans are being collected by the government. I'll be posting a blog about that later.
So much for the republicans being the party of "small government" fiscal responsibility and leaving us alone!
Anyway, based on their love of spying on us, Bush & the neocons are going to love this article.
Come to find out, that cell phone in our pocket doubles as a tracking device, even if you are not making a call.
Most people know that when they make a mobile call--during a 911 emergency, for example--authorities can access phone company technology to pin down their location, sometimes to within a few feet.
A lesser-known fact: Cell phone companies can locate you any time you are in range of a tower and your phone is on. Cell phones are designed to work either with global positioning satellites or through "pings" that allow towers to triangulate and pinpoint signals. Any time your phone "sees" a tower, it pings it.

More Internet Radio
I have discovered a great new site for free music, Vault Radio My good freind Jim B had originally e-mailed me about it, I listened once, must have liked it 'cause I book marked it, but then promptly forgot about it. A few weeks ago I was getting rid of old bookmarks, saw it and clicked and am glad I did!! It is great. I feel like I'm back in my living room in Hanau Germany 1972-1974 when I was in the US Army and Gloria & I had no TV and nothing but a Teac reel to reel for entertainment.
Here is the link http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/static.aspx?Type=Audio/Radio.htm&LeftNav=Audio/RadioNav.htm
Whether you are a child of the 60's, an X, Y, Z boomer, bust or echo generation, love Jam Bands or just want to hear something different, try it.
Here is what Vault Radio has to say about themselves
=========================================
Bill Graham and his concert promotion company, Bill Graham Presents, produced more than 35,000 concerts all over the world. His first venue, the legendary Fillmore Auditorium, was home to many of rock's greatest performers - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Prince - and the list goes on and on.
Graham taped thousands of live performances and stored the tapes in the basement of the BGP headquarters. These tapes and the concerts they captured lay dormant until the Bill Graham archive was acquired by Wolfgang's Vault (Bill Graham's given first name was Wolfgang) in 2003.
Vault Radio is now playing selected tracks from these concerts in an FM-quality, 128K digital radio stream. Songs will be added to and removed from the radio show on a regular basis. We will be broadcasting unaltered live performance music from many of the greatest bands of the last 40 years. The music you hear on Vault Radio has not been sweetened or polished. You'll be listening to what the band played that night - nothing more, nothing less

I'm Back
My, my, time flies!! It has been almost a year since I have posted on my blog. I am going to get back into it, so check back often. Recent events have caused me to want to sent a poltical e-mail to everyone on my list, but stopped, knowing that sometimes the truth hurts, so I'll post stuff here and people can choose to read it or not read it. Of course, I always thought that was what the delete button was for, but I don't want to anger anymore freinds or acquaintances.
Like I said, check back often, it won't be all politics. In fact the next post will be a fun one.
Dave
PS- I finally found spell check on this blog program!
