Tip of the Hat: Only Sayin'

If you want to escape the feverish pace of the election horse race and take a little time to sit and read some funny, thoughtful, and well-written commentary on our American Culture, look no further than Only Sayin'. Our Cowardice-Based Foreign Policy is an essay tackling just that in which Powder Monkey begins to sketch some intriguing ideas about American Imperialism. Also, Republicans Are Chickens is an open letter to Senator Obama begging him to cut to the chase. Finally, digging into the archives, I know George Bush shows us that we ALL know George Bush, and we hate that sonofabitch.

I'm still making my way through the archives when I have the time and brainpower, but it's definitely worth your time to check some of these pieces out.

Thanks to everyone at Only Sayin' for doing your thing.

Remembering A Great American Patriot: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I hope we can all take a little bit of time and remember the greatness of this man. King's words need to be heard more today than ever. Here he is on war and the arrogance of American Imperialism.


If you have 23 minutes to listen to a clip then I highly suggest listening to this speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. He is giving a speech on the war in vietnam. This speech rings so true today that it is almost eerie. This man was a true prophet.
