Get Off Your Ass and Do Something!
A thick gloom has set in. As if beaten into submission by the corporatist media the dissidents among us have become increasingly silent. Bush's psychological war on Americans appears to have succeeded. We have become withdrawn, quiet and beneath the surface we smolder.

Kodak axing up to 15,000 : Bush touts pittance for worker training as job cuts mount
Two events Wednesday captured the dichotomy between official propaganda about the US economic recovery and the reality confronting American workers. President George W. Bush appeared at campaign-style rallies at community colleges in Ohio and Arizona, touting his minuscule $250 million job retraining initiative. And Kodak Corp. announced the elimination of 20 percent of its workforce, an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 jobs....
