How bad IS this guy?
● ABC News: McCain Campaign Manager’s Alleged Russian Mob Ties
● NYTimes: Lobbying by foreign agents — and the lack of disclosures about their activities — is an issue that has dogged the presidential campaign of Senator John McCain, who in recent weeks has seen aides resign because of their ties to foreign governments and private interests.

How are we treating our soldiers?
● PBS: Of the thousands of U.S. troops getting discharged from the Army each year, many who are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries aren't getting the vital care they need. The Army claims these soldiers have pre-existing mental illnesses or are guilty of misconduct. But advocates say this is a way for the Army to get rid of "problem" soldiers quickly, without giving them the treatment and benefits to which they're entitled.
● Of the 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are now dead, he said. By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. More than a decade later, more than half (56 percent) who served in Gulf War I have permanent medical problems. The disability rate for veterans of the world wars of the last century was 5 percent, rising to 10 percent in Vietnam.

Special Sunday commentary by Big Dan: "Not only should they extend unemployment benefits from 6 mos. to 9 mos. which the Republicans just blocked, we need legislation that when you're on unemployment, you are fully covered with the same medical benefits politicians like John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton are getting...FOR FREE! So you don't lose your house, your car and all your possessions! Of the 4 weekly unemployment checks you get, 2 go to COBRA to extend your health benefits because the cost skyrocketted for your benefits because your employer is no longer covering you, and 1 of your unemployment checks goes towards the "Reagan Unemployment Tax". In case you forgot, Ronald Reagan started taxing unemployment checks. So, 3 of your 4 unemployment checks go towards COBRA and the Reagan Unemployment Tax. We need to repeal the Reagan unemployment tax, too, so you get to keep all 4 of your weekly unemployment checks to pay for your mortgage, your car payments, your car insurance, electricity, heating oil or gas, water, all your other bills, and FOOD! Right now, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, losing your job is a sentence to also lose your home! Unless you've got a ton of money saved up. And then, your retirement savings will be depeleted just keeping you afloat until you find a job!"

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink at the 2008 National Conference for Media Reform. There is a HUGE peace movement going on, but the corporate controlled media (the so-called "liberal media", they want you to think it's liberal!) won't cover the peace movement! They want to keep you dumb and stupid! Most Americans, according to polls, are against the Iraq War and want our troops home! No, Code Pink aren't "nuts" like Rush Limbaugh, the billionaires' millionaire propagandist says they are, just watch this video and decide for yourself! And realize who is "juking" you! The $250,000.00 million dollar contract man, Rush Limbaugh, is NOT on your side! Who's side is he on?
We marched in an anti-war protest last summer, and I spotted someone running along the march on the sidewalk. "That's Medea Benjamin!", I said, and I stopped her and snapped a picture of her with Mrs. Big Dan!

Pictures of what we did to the Iraqi people, that the corporate controlled media isn't showing you on purpose, because the media owners are war profiteers and they want to keep the war going. Remember, WE are in THEIR country! This is where the majority of your tax money is going...not to OUR health care, unemployment which the Republicans just stopped an extension from 6 months to 9 months, college aid, and other things we need in AMERICA! The war pigs are stealing our money for their friends and families, and taking it away from things WE need! (h/t 99)
