Imagine: the rise of a New Left, New Revolution, New Activism, New America.
I report the news of the day, and remind my loyal viewers of my dream:
Gay marriage. Immigration reform. Regulation. Universal health care.

That's just the beginning! With social and economic justice, we can defeat the Right and their corporatist allies, we can make this dream a reality.

We just need YOUR help. One voice, on person can make a difference, as long as it's the right voice, the right person. We are influencing you to join us, or at least help us out, whether you know it or not. It begins today.

The Right is running scared. Don't believe me? Look out your own window. They know that their time is done.
The Weird Head Revolution is rising.
Bold, progressive liberals, leftists, and workers are RISING and UNITING!
Are you, my friend? Join our movement.

All that and more, only on the Weird Liberal Head Show.

2. Comrade!
That's what my Facebook status says I am (I do lean that way, but it's also partly to annoy my con frenemies). :)

I say 'nationalize' everything said to be in the 'national' interest. If it's worth our work and money, it belongs to us and we should have accountability and democratic control.

As far as going to the hospital and getting insurance I'd simplify and say getting healthcare. Because insurance is a ponzi game, but healthcare is a right, but we need to get the corporations and profit out of it completely or it will always be corrupt. Our system has bankrupted families families, destroyed the productive and creative potential of many, and killed not just a few.

I read this quote, that the problem in this world is that things are made to be used and people are meant to be loved. Right now, we are ruled by people who love things and use people. Or something like that. It's never going to work, makes people crazy, makes them do irrational and destructive acts.

As far as the action in Libya, I am so sick of the media telling us who is good and who is bad, then the government jumping in. And predictably, another oil country that needs our military machine there? But I hope in my heart that you are right and I am wrong.

May all your dreams come true, with love and truth.
