Life hasn't exactly been a vacation for Aimee Allen, who is the organically rebellious product of a guilt-laden Catholic school system. Signed at the tender age of 21 to Elektra Records, her debut album, I'd Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up In the Morning, got caught in the crossfire of a corporate merger and was shelved by the soon-to-be dormant label. Worse, Aimee's...

Wait a minute, how is libertarianism "the voice of a voter's revolution"? Wealthy British aristocrats/members of the gentry came up with the ideology of libertarianism to justify why both the growing English middle-class and the British government-- just flexing its imperial muscles around the Third World-- should not be allowed to tell the independently wealthy what to do. "On Liberty", "Utilitarianism", and later, "Anarchy, State, Utopia" are representative works, and each tries to prove the philosophical proposition that that government which does nothing for its citizens is best...

Not to say that the interview itself wasn't interesting. I shall certainly give Allen a listening-to on iTunes sometime soon.
Gwen Cooper traded her ho-hum career as a policewoman to work as a professional alien catcher at Torchwood, an organization which legend has it is "separate from the government, outside the police, and beyond the United Nations." Eve Myles, the Welsh actress who plays Gwen, in turn, has traded her life...
Just returned from Vegas, a city that's been devastated by the recession more than most. At best employers are using news of the economic downturn to force wage and benefit cuts on their staff (the folks at the hotel I stayed at for example had recently kissed goodbye to their 401Ks and were providing stellar service with a gritted teeth smile for 10% less). At...

Hi Nicole,
The problem is that Obama and staff are being Politicians and not Leaders.
I have a feeling when they got in they were told what they can do not what they want to do.
What we need is single payer health care just like we mandatorly insure our cars.
It's not on the table.
Who knows what we are going to get.
I called my NM Rep and he returned my call to tell me SP is not going to happen.
He also said he is not sure what the Bill is going to look like during, and after.
Let us hope that Obama can give us a plan that actually works for us.
I am open to more of your ideas and actions we can follow thru on.

I've always found Torchwood to be a very spotty show. It has GREAT parts, but it's also very frustrating half the time, in the same way I find most television. Still, I have grown very attached to the characters and what it does well it does very well. I've only seen the first two episodes of this mini series, but so far it's been great.

I hope they keep going. They have to resolve Jack's story line. the face... spoilers, remember? Count the shadows.
I'm really confused by anyone at this point who's ambivalent or resistant to a public healthcare plan.
The health insurance companies have proven that they're no longer worthy of the very responsibilty they're there to uphold. I wouldn't trust them to bill me fairly or accurately for an aspirin, so why would I trust them with something as important as my life?
But at this...

Thanks to both of you for taking action.

I would tell them, but office politics and all. Mainly, I don't play at office politics. My Workplace Rule #1 is "no discussing politics or religion."
It's not much fun, but it keeps me from getting in trouble.

sounds fascinating, can't wait to see it!
Given that this is an alternative culture site, I thought I'd treat you to a very alternative July 4th fireworks display.
Click HERE and wait till the end of the video (which proves that shepherds make awesome geeks!).

Companies should compensate you for time wasted when their installation and repair people don't show or are late. AT&T are on my shit list today.

If they did compensate, it would be with; Funny Monopoly Money.
