Filling For Jay Marvin Monday & Tuesday

Erin Hart

Erin Hart sits in for Jay Marvin on Boulder's Progressive AM 760, Monday, July 3 & Tuesday, the 4th.

Monday we talk to Ken Gude, Associate Director of the International Rights and Responsibilities Program at the Center for American Progress about the Supreme Court ruling that military tribunals for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba do not comply with the Geneva Conventions regarding treatment of prisoners.

Also on Monday, we check in about how the Bush taxes hit most of us with Colorado's Progressive Coalition. Find out just how regressive these taxes are. And we follow up on immigration with Keep Colorado Safe. Find out what they will compromise on and what they will not!

Tuesday, celebrate our country's birth with fireworks supplied by the newest Americans among us. New citizens are particularly invited to participate. Joining us will be Minister Jamal Rahman, who recently became a citizen after living and working in Seattle for several years. Find out what July 4th means to him as a Muslim, as a progressive, as a new citizen.

All that and a celebration of our interstates--Thanks Dwight! And we are working on Eugene Jarecki, director and producer of the Sundance award winner, "Why We Fight". And marty of BartCop Entertainment will likely pop a cracker or two.

That and so much more-please check out erinhartshow.com for further details (or drop marty a note).

Adventure is everywhere. . .

Peter Singer: The Freedom to Ridicule Religion-and Deny the Holocaust (secularhumanism.org)
Freedom of speech is important, and it must include the freedom to say what everyone else believes to be false, and even what many people take to be offensive. Religion remains a major obstacle to basic reforms that reduce unnecessary suffering. Think of issues like contraception, abortion, the status of women in society, the use of embryos for medical research, physician-assisted suicide, attitudes towards homosexuality, and the treatment of animals. In each case, somewhere in the world, religious beliefs have been a barrier to changes that would make the world more sustainable, freer, and more humane.


Bob Deans: U.S. losing terror war because of Iraq, poll says (columbusdispatch.com)
The United States is losing its fight against terrorism and the Iraq war is the biggest reason why, more than eight of ten American terrorism and national security experts concluded in a poll released [recently].


Andrew Tobias: THE GOOD NEWS (andrewtobias.com)
Don't fail to see the movie [An Inconvenient Truth] because you think it will be a downer. With a bit of luck, this story can all have a happy ending. Remember the disappearing ozone layer? In the interest of spraying our underarms to smell nice (and cooling our refrigerators with Freon), man-made chlorofluorocarbons were being released into the atmosphere, eating up the ozone layer. But the planet got together, changed its behavior, and - do you know what? - the ozone layer is okay again.


Roger Ebert: Belle de Jour (Not rated; A Great Movie)
Luis Bunuel's "Belle de Jour"' (1967), the story of a respectable young wife who secretly works in a brothel one or two afternoons a week, is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best. That's because it understands eroticism from the inside-out -- understands how it exists not in sweat and skin, but in the imagination.


Aida Edemariam: Why don't we drink more tapwater? (guardian.co.uk)
... tapwater is cheap: the £1.80 you might pay for a small coffee would buy 2,000 litres of water - at two litres a day, enough to keep you going for nearly three years. But perhaps that's the point. In the twisted logic of consumerism, paying more for something seems to just make it better.


Rachel Kramer Bussel: Sounds Erotic brings dirty words right to your ears
"Foreplay isn't a single event. It is a way of life." Those are words of wisdom we can all live by.


Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir: Is there value in an unhappy marriage? (jewishworldreview.com)
I'm far from an expert in this field, and I don't mean to take the place of the many highly qualified professionals who provide counseling to troubled couples. But I do feel that my book performs a valuable service by pointing out that while the Talmud recognizes that not every marriage should be saved, it does seem to teach us that showing fortitude and maintaining a positive attitude in even a troubled relationship is in some cases the best response to circumstances, particularly when children are involved.

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK...

Bushflash.com will be shut down, within 30 days.

I'd like to think it can continue, but really- I can no longer spend the time required to keep this site live, with only my two hands, and one keyboard.

Bushflash is a quaint fossil- and after three years of hammering out everything I have to present to the american and worldwide public, I'm flat broke, and owe the IRS about 6 thousand bucks.

Such is life- excelsior, and dammit, we had a good run, while the times were darkest. When I started this site, there were but a handful of sites that dared to take this administration to task. Now, there are thousands, and I love every last one of them...

I'm an unemployed guy in New Jersey, and I reached an audience of millions...

I want each and every one of you to do the same....

Freebie Finder

A few months ago you used AbsurdlyCool Freebie Finder. . Freebie Finder has evolved significantly since you wrote about it, and so I thought your readers might be interested in taking another look. Freebie Finder still aggregates freebies from across the web while filtering out scams and referral pyramids. It does this by detecting links that occur across multiple sites with identical URLs. Since referral scams usually have a unique ID embedded in their URL, this technique filters out almost all of these scams. What's left tends to be actual freebies. I've found this technique to work remarkably well.

In addition to finding freebies automatically, the new Freebie Finder also attempts to predict categories and countries for new freebies. It then utilizes user input to refine these predictions. Users vote on relevant categories, descriptions, countries, and ratings for freebies, and the system uses these votes to refine its initial guesses about the freebies. Users can also comment on freebies.

'...And All That Stuff'

'Superman Returns'

Here's another identity-related question likely to spark controversy as the Man of Steel soars into theaters nationwide this weekend in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Superman Returns" -- Is Superman still American?

Ever since artist Joe Shuster and writer Jerry Siegel introduced the granddaddy of all comic book icons in 1938, Superman has fought valiantly to preserve "truth, justice and the American way."

But in his latest film incarnation, screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris sought to downplay Superman's long-standing patriot act. With one brief line uttered by actor Frank Langella, the caped superhero's mission transformed from "truth, justice and the American way" to "truth, justice and all that stuff."

Challenges Parking Bans

Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan and four other war protesters filed a lawsuit Friday challenging roadside camping and parking bans near President Bush's Crawford ranch.

Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., was in Waco to file the case, which asks that the ordinances not be enforced during protests in August and ultimately be declared void.

The suit, filed in state district court, was filed against McLennan County, the sheriff and county commissioners.

Auctioning Picasso

Andrew Lloyd Webber

British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's foundation will sell a Picasso portrait that is expected to fetch over $40 million at auction, with the proceeds being donated to charity, Christie's said on Friday.

The 1903 work from the artist's Blue Period, "Angel Fernandez de Soto," will be sold at Christie's fall auction of Impressionist and modern art on November 8.

The haunting portrait of Picasso's close friend, who he met in 1899 in Barcelona and with whom he remained friends until de Soto's death during the Spanish Civil War, is expected to sell for $40 million to $60 million.

Pitt-Jolie Camera

Police in this western Massachusetts town say they have seized a digital camera with images of celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Africa for an investigation by Los Angeles authorities.

Local police, accompanied by state police and Secret Service officers, went to the Westfield home of William Keys on Tuesday to recover a digital camera's memory stick after three photos that appeared on the Internet were tracked to Keys, police said Friday.

Officers then went to Precision Camera and Video Repair in Enfield, Conn., where Keys works, and recovered the camera. It remains in custody of Westfield police.

Probes 'Foreign Plot'

Romania

The Romanian senate has opened an inquiry into "indications" that floods that have battered the country were the result of a "metereological war waged by a foreign power," a senator said.

But ministry spokesman Adrian Tibu said the senators had got hold of the wrong end of the stick.

"They have mistakenly interpreted the remarks of our experts, who in no way talked of such a possibility," he said.

Extreme right leader Corneliu Vadim Tudor said however he was convinced that Romania was "the victim of a metereological attack."

German Group In Chile

Villa Baviera

Dozens of German immigrants who once belonged to a secretive religious sect in southern Chile watched a televised football match for the first time on Friday when Germany beat Argentina in the World Cup.

The group, including many elderly Germans who moved to Chile in the 1960s and did not watch television for 40 years under the strict rules of their cult, drank beer as they watched the game on a big screen adorned with German flags.

For decades, the residents of Villa Baviera, formerly Colonia Dignidad, submitted to the authoritarian whims of ex-leader Paul Schaefer, who banned almost all contact with the outside world.

Estonians Reign At Championships

Wife-Carrying

Finishing upside down clinging to a man's back may not be the most graceful way of winning gold, but it sure helped Sandra Kullas and Margo Uusorg to the world wife-carrying crown on Saturday.

The Estonians were among 40 pairs from eight countries who competed in the annual event in Sonkajarvi, in central Finland.

They raced along a 250-metre track, complete with pools and hurdles, with the men running or walking and carrying the women on their backs.

Uusorg, 26, finished in 56.9 seconds, a world record, while Kullas, 19, clung to his back upside down with her legs around his neck. They beat Uusorg's bother Madis by 3 seconds.

For the second time this week, dead baby terns have washed ashore in Long Beach. Workers collected more than 100 birds Friday, after more than 300 Caspian and elegant terns washed up along the shore Wednesday. Wildlife authorities are investigating whether the terns were from a colony that nested on barges parked offshore.

Mozart Therapy

Suma

Suma, a 45-year-old elephant and long-time resident of the Zagreb Zoo, was bereaved and inconsolable after her pachyderm partner of tens years died of cancer.

Then, by sheer accident, Suma's keepers discovered that the healing power of Mozart extends to the animal kingdom too.

Earlier this month, the zoo the zoo organized a concert of classical music just opposite Suma's dwelling, head of Zagreb Zoo Mladen Anic explained.

When zoo authorities realized that classical music seemed to help Suma cope with her grief, they bought a stereo and installed it so she could get a daily dose of music therapy.

Irving Green

Irving Green, co-founder of Mercury Records who helped break the color barrier by promoting such artists as Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and the Platters, died Saturday. He was 90.

ded Mercury in 1945 and helped turn the independent outfit into a major label. Mercury recorded Louis Armstrong's first No. 1 hit in 1964 with "Hello, Dolly!" and hits by other artists, including Frankie Laine and Patti Page.

Mercury became the first major label with black top executive when Green hired Quincy Jones as vice president.

After Mercury was sold to Polygram Records in the mid-70s, Green turned to land development, building hundreds of homes in Iran. After the 1979 Islamic revolution, he returned to Palm Springs and started Landau Development, building more than 1,000 homes in the area.
