:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 2.26.2003 ::

From PressDemocrat.com: Anti-war protest takes cyber turn
Phone, fax and e-mail will be weapons of choice in today's demonstration
By Cecilia M. Vega, February 26, 2003
George Bush, you've got mail.
Thousands of anti-war demonstrators are expected to launch a virtual march on Washington today, leaving their picket signs at home and flooding White House and Senate offices with a slew of e-mails, faxes and phone calls protesting war against Iraq.
"I don't think the powers that be acknowledge the protests," said Steve Miksis, a Santa Rosa accountant who will call the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., at 8:52 a.m. today.
"One e-mail to your representative may not be heard; but if you're one of a million or one of a thousand that do it in the span of five hours, then there's something there," he said.
To participate, go to MoveOn.org's Virtual March on Washington page.
