Carey has met Julia Hill Butterfly person woman and also Bonnie Raitt, and that's pretty much hugetime in my book.
He had a great suggestion when the inevitable "well what do we do then" question came up at Barbara's.
Carey said we should write to Rep. John Conyers and demand that these thugs - Bush, Cheney, Rove - be prosecuted before the clock runs out. These men should be in the super-max prisons we have prepared so judiciously.
They are murderers.
Mike Stanek, who once spent six months at Indiana's hideous Terre Haute prison for protesting against the U.S. military, also let me download about two hundred new songs onto my iPod and sent me on my way with a brown bag full of Czech beer, from the home country.
What's the word for awesome in Czech?
Nope, I don't know either.

As we all sat inside Chicago's Revolution Books waiting to get started, someone came in and said that local law enforcement had just conducted a raid in the heart of the Hispanic community, and that local residents had responded immediately with a march in protest.
A front-page photo appeared the next morning in the Sun-Times.
And so I guess that tells us a little about why and how.
Why don't people get too excited about the war in Iraq?
And how do we mobilize people, get them in the streets, bring about a non-violent revolution, as someone in Madison, Wisconsin suggested.
I think it happens when we feel it affects us. When the city council tries to make us put in a sidewalk in front of our house, then we attend the meeting that night.
