I don't need to write much, I will let the man speak for himself. Tomorrow the songs will be available at his web site neilyoung.com.

  Read lyrics below. Man I got chills reading this

 

I went to Canada for the live 8 show last week. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I wish I had a way to relate in words how special of a day it was and my feeling of freedom when I crossed the border into Canada. But alas I suck at writing and I know I would fail miserably at that effort.

What I can share with you is that Neil Young wrote a song titled "When God Made Me" which I view as a great smack down of the Religious Right

Here is a taste of the lyrics and a link to where you can see the video.

                                                          When God made me

Was he planning only for believers
Or for those who just have faith?
Did he envision all the wars
That were fought in his name?
Did he say there was only one way
To be close to him?"

  I find myself more and more often using the premise which I originally saw from someone else here that THESE GUYS DON'T CARE WHAT WE THINK. I wish I could give credit to whoever wrote that.If you see this let me know who you are.

Anyway according to the LA Times they are at it again. "Fixing" science "facts" to fit a policy

Here is a taste of the article

"This is a whitewash. They took all of our science and reversed it 180 degrees," said Erick Campbell, a former BLM state biologist in Nevada and a 30-year bureau employee who retired this year. He was the author of sections of the report pertaining to the effect on wildlife and threatened and endangered species.

"They rewrote everything," Campbell said in an interview this week. "It's a crime."

  We have the AP article discussed in many diaries, most recently in a front page diary titled "More Dirt on Bolton Uncovered by AP Probe" http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/5/21615/21927

Their is a Washington Post article that discusses the link that AP made between Bolton and Downing Street http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/07/AR2005060700474.html

And yet all we are hearing from Dem spokesmen like the snake oil salesmen Biden is how we don't have the votes on Bolton and how Dean should shut up http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/4/224518/2244

Why do you hate America Mr. Biden? Why do you let the MSM change the subject away from what Dean was talking about (long lines to vote)in order to get in your attack on Dean? Aren't you,Mr. Biden supposed to be the "front man" on the Bolton fight or is helping the MSM take down Dean more important to you.

Some in the media are finally doing their jobs and they have made the case for you on Bolton. Why won't you run with it? Its time for these guys to put up or we need to clean the house of these pathetic do nothing Dem. establishment types!

   Taking over for the incompetent David Okrent, the new public editor Byron Calame in his first post discusses complaints about the lack of coverage of the "memo" and is critical of the paper for not covering it earlier

I just heard Al Franken's interview Mike McCurry and it became resoundingly clear to me that the Kerry team was never ready for a fight. He started by saying that they carefully looked at the results in Ohio the morning after the election and concluded that to challenge the results would require a major court battle and the likelihood of success was small and we didn't want to put the country threw that.

Fine, that is a legitimate argument. What I was not prepared for was what he said next

Just read an artile at The Washington post. The headline is "Bush Confident but Busy". But when you read the article you see that they are anything but confident. They see what is coming and they don't like what they see!

I needed this in order to sleep well tonight
