Forget Impeachment- Conyers has “A New American Agenda” I think we should give our Congress a ‘Christmas in Iraq’ by visiting them this Christmas season and giving them a Christmas like the Iraqis and our troops are experiencing. Show up at their local offices with pictures of the carnage they helped create. Visit their homes with a crowd, signs and read the stories of the reality in Iraq over a loudspeaker. Why should they enjoy a peaceful holiday while they are still ruining the lives of so many?...

Boots and The Coup Greetings All:
I know this is a difficult time of year for sending a request for your dollars. But Boots Riley and other members of The Coup had a terrible accident and barely escaped with their lives; all were injured. Boots has been an active part of the liberation struggle for many years, setting a wonderful example of positive rap and revolutionary action. I worked with him ten years ago when he was leading the Young Comrades who spearheaded the big celebration of geronimo ji Jaga's...

Carta de las Visitadoras a Charo, la prostituta Las visitadoras del Pantaleón de Vargas Llosa explican a Charo, la vieja prostituta de las Ramblas de Barcelona que excluirlas sería no solamente un efecto de la conspiración de los medios de comunicación para distorsionar los conceptos de Estado Nación, de ciudadano y de institución multilateral, sino cerrar alternativas reales a quienes tratan de combatir la misma....

WTO Movie Nancy Bartley
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle police say this weekend's filming of a movie based on the 1999 WTO riots will have "minimal" impact on commuters and shoppers.
Of course, they said the same thing seven years ago before the anti-globalization protests erupted into full-scale, tear-gas-choked riots....

York Pork is Too Easy a Target in Olympics Finger-Pointing No observer of the dysfunctional San Francisco 49ers organization should have been surprised when owner John York bungled the protocol for his announcement that the team would be moving to Santa Clara. (The shakiness and lack of consultation of that assertion have been well documented, and its implications for the real needs of the city were examined in Beyond Chron yesterday.) However, one aspect of the punditry surrounding this latest manifestation of bozomania, York style, strikes me as ov...

San Francisco Gains from 49ers Move to Santa Clara When incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Dianne Feinstein take time from their post-election planning to urge San Francisco 49ers owner John York to keep the team in San Francisco, then you know that the city’s wealthy elite are in an uproar over the 49ers proposed move. Only a tiny percentage of San Franciscans would ever benefit from the luxury boxes and improved seating at a new 49ers stadium, and the dozen games per year does not provide meaningful jobs for neighborhood reside...

Regulating Free Speech Through Place and Time As a street performer for almost 30 years now, I can give you endless examples of “free speech” thefts, on public streets, via governmental/public agencies working on the pressure of merchants to either monitor the political contents of street performances or to stop competing free markets on the street. Once the government can regulate the TIME AND PLACE OF FREE SPEECH, it is NO LONGER FREE SPEECH. The “time and place” factor” effectively and constructively ELIMINATES free speech. And that i...

Santa Clara 49ers & Fremont A's? Right when Gavin Newsom was cruising along for his re-election bid, The City's most popular team, the San Francisco 49ers announce that they are giving up on plans to build a new stadium in San Francisco and will build a stadium closer to team headquarters in Santa Clara. If the Niners do go ahead with plans to leave The City, the Niners will be Topic A at every debate and political discussion during next year's conversations about Newsom's re-election bid. Regardless of whether Newsom is re-...
