just heard Drew's sports report. Aren't the Green Bay Packers owned by the city? Why don't cities, as long as they're spending all that money anyway, just take ownership of the teams? Then the teams wouldn't leave and all the revenue would go into city coffers for schools and whatnot else. Seems like a suitably lefty solution.

I tuned in to listen to Andy Worthington because I he has been is my hero. I now try everyday to write something about the innocent victims of Guantanamo concentration camp now having been there for almost 9 years. I also write to the father of the UK family of 4, Shaker Aamer, since I feel he should be the next victim reunited with his family since he has been scheduled to be released since 2007 and instead bee held in solitaire confinement for years. The politicians don't want people to do know that they are more humble and compassionate than the those who are using them for lies about why the US should get the oil from the Middle East. Not a great site for format with some important ideas, pictures and resources: wanacare.ning.com
