A Republican running for office couldn’t generate his own grass roots campaign. So what did he do? He stole someone else’s, more specifically, from Howard Dean. One photo was taken at a 2004 Dean for President rally sponsored by the American University College Democrats in Washington, D.C. The other photo comes from Bret Schundler’s campaign website, advertising Schundler’s Reform Gear. Check out the images here: Got Roots?

Take action against lies!

Dear Friend:

As many of you are aware, a classified memo was recently disclosed in Great Britain that I believe has serious ramifications for the integrity of the United States Government. Dubbed the ?Downing Street Memo,? but actually comprising the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British government officials, the memo casts serious doubt on many of the contentions of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq war. With over 1,600 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and over $200 billion in taxpayer funds going to this war effort, we cannot afford to stand by any longer.

A post to blogger Simon Ng?s journal just before he and his sister were killed in their New York apartment led police to his murderer. In his Xanga journal, Ng wrote:

At 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister?s former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstair while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully he will leave soon.

Investigators got Ng?s sister?s ex-boyfriend, Jin Lin, to confess to the murder after confronting him with the blog entry.

Not really anything going on. Just working and enjoying a bit of time off. Next week I might be starting my second job, who knows… This summer is going to suck compared to past summers. Pretty much all my freinds have moved away for jobs or internships this summer. That really sucks, but what can you do? I hope everyone else’s summer is going well.

For graduation (yes, i know i don’t grad til december, but i’m a very convincing person and was able to convince my parents into giving me the present early) i was given a brick. This isn’t just any brick. It is a Cardinals Brick that will be a part of the new stadium’s history. This is definately a cool present, because it is one everyone can see for the next 40 years, at least.

Here is what it will look like:
