Just another example of how the government is keeping relevant
information from the public.
Jim Hightower is one Texan that I have a lot of respect for.
He is a major agitator and does a great little vignette on kgoe 1480 am in Eureka Ca. Normally at 10:30am but on 7-16-08 he will be on at 11:30am, also on at 11:30pm weeknights. Check it out when not blogging, if you live in Humboldt Co.
