F Bush and the Back-Door Draft

Sup people, I’m back from Florida–much much love to my U of F peops and to Carlos and Theresa–but I won’t be blogging that regularly.

Here’s the reason why. (More here.)

I’ve got fam directly being touched by Bush’s back-door draft. Sorry yall, but I just don’t have time to mourn or chill or f around, really. You’ll be hearing more about Iraq, the military, and David’s case from me in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you’ve got fam or friends who are also being called up, please feel free to email me and we can build.

It’s about to be on.

This Is It

This is it, yall.

The voting guides you need (no matter what state) are here:

+ League of Pissed Off Voters.

The news you really want is here:

+ Greg Palast, back in Florida and it’s serious this time.

+ Worth mentioning again: Ta-Nehisi, blogging in Jacksonville, Pop and Politics across the country.

+ And yes, these folks, who promise to call the races wrong before everyone else does.

Re: rockism and racism: I admit it, too much shit going on in my life, I can’t keep up with yall! Mad insights all around, please continue the convo.

If yall are in Florida tomorrow like Palast and Coates, please fall through. The info again…
