One Bold Step

Everyone talks a great game about changing the world, or even just their lives, but courage, while free, comes with one price: action. I want to share my bold step with you, and, if you write to me with your bold step, and it's timely, I'll post it on my site every couple of weeks, if not more often.

Chris Bliss & My Bill Of Rights Take Off

As your humble Director of Research for MyBillOfRights.org, I proudly present two outstanding video clips from last night and this morning of the ever funny and passionate Chris Bliss juggling on "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) and "American Morning" with Soledad O'Brien (CNN). Watch, enjoy, and then go support one of the best projects of this millennium.

Best Feminist Music Video - 2006

[As originally posted at https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Editorial-Page.htm?InfoNo=004927]

Kudos have to be given to Alecia Moore, the lady otherwise known as Pink. Her new video "Stupid Girls" is exactly what art is for: taking the political, which is also often personal, and turning it on its head so that we can all see the truths that would otherwise be difficult to describe to some people, all while having a little fun. Her video is a nod to women of every stripe, and her statement on the controversy surrounding Stupid Girls is simply terrific. On this note, I direct you to Pink's official web site. At this site you will find her "Latest Letter." Click on it, and be inspired. While you're at it, watch her video, too.

Runner's up in this category over the last few years are:

1. "Teary Eyed" - Missy Elliott

2. "Because of You" - Kelly Clarkson

3. "Confessions of a Broken Heart" - Lindsay Lohan (yes, even she does some things right)

4. "Daughters" - John Mayer (Hey, look! I've got a guy up here.... )

5. "Fighter" - Christina Aguilera

6. "Beautiful" - Christina Aguilera (If you aren't reading her lyrics, then you're missing her
point.)

7. "Me, Myself, and I" - Beyonce

8. "Independent Women, Part I" - Destiny's Child

9. "What It Feels Like For a Girl" - Madonna (Would this list really be complete without at least
one of her videos?)

Any more you like? Hey, guys, this includes you, too. If so, send 'em to me, and I'll post the best ones in a future editoral.

Peace, and happy watching!

Air America Radio Phoenix's New Home

Dear Readers,

I have some exciting news to report: Air America Radio is coming back to Phoenix! Dr. Mike Newcomb is the first confirmed weekday morning host, and you will hear all of your favorite national personalities. This will happen tomorrow, so be at KPHX 1480 AM on your dial, or be out of the loop. The choice is yours.

The new station still needs to keep raising revenue, so, if you have some spare cash, please by pixels. Any inquiries on funding with loans, grants, etc., can be directed to Jeff Farias, host and producer for Dr. Newcomb at: jfarias@aaphx.com. The revolution continues.

Cheers,

Your Humble Blogger
(and "Friend of AAR Phoenix")
