Week of August 30, 2009 - September 5, 2009

Fox won't broadcast Obama's speech. Let's compile a list of advertisers to boycott.


It's pretty outrageous how Rupert Murdoch dutifully broadcasted President Bush's prime-time speeches on FOX, but decides to break with the other networks and broadcast "So You Think You Can Dance?"  during Obama's speech.  Really the only way for ordinary Americans to affect Murdoch is to vote with our wallets and refuse to support those who advertise during the program.

If I get a chance, I'll find out who advertised during the speech and post later.

In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." --Carl Sagan *"[Philosophers] pose as if they had discovered and reached their real opinions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely unconcerned dialectic...; while at bottom it is an assumption, a hunch, indeed a kind of “inspiration”—most often a desire of the heart that has been filtered and made abstract—that they defend with reasons they have sought after the fact." --Friedrich Nietzsche *"There are two ways to live your life. The first is as though everything is a miracle. The second is as though nothing is a miracle." --Albert Einstein

Bio

My profile picture is not of me- it is of the great Carl Sagan, who was a great inspiration to me. Go read one of his books or watch his PBS series 'Cosmos'.
