Here are 3 tracks from Melanie Doane, from her new EP Winter Songs. Enjoy!
Taylor Mali — What Teachers Make
"Those who can, do, while those who can't teach." Not something you want to say to this guy!
If I were to make a list of my top 100 problems...
...big government wouldn't even make the cut. If you're not a bazillionnaire, big government doesn't affect you. If you are a bazillionnaire, big government isn't going to significantly change that.
Britain's Massive Strike Against Austerity — Could It Happen Here?
Millions of employees in Great Britain mounted the first General Strike in many years today, after the country's coalition government threatened to impose more cuts in retirement benefits and pay for public workers.
It was a smash success. As many as two million strikers proved that the public's patience with the unjust fiscal regime known as "austerity economics" has its limits. It highlighted the important role unions can and must play in the fight for a more just and stable economy.

The Worst Place in America to Have HIV
Recently, an elderly woman in Mississippi was left alone on the curb outside a hospital emergency room. The woman didn't have a medical emergency. She'd been dumped by the nursing room employees who had learned that she had HIV, according to a lawyer at the Mississippi Center for Justice to whom she was eventually referred.
Ray Stevens put out a song that the lib'ruls are gonna hay-yate!
Yup. He did it.
One of the USA's great comedic writers has gone and written a song critical of our beloved President's budget! The nerve!
Apparently, he done gone and made a video for it, too!
Understanding the History and Purpose of Fox News
FOX is a "relentless agenda-driven 24 hour news opinion propaganda delivery system" ~Jon Stewart
"They're a Republican brand. They're an extension of the Republican Party with some exceptions" ~Larry King
"[Fox is] widely viewed as a part of the Republican Party: take their talking points and put them on the air, take their opposition research and put it on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news organization like CNN is." ~Anita Dunn
Leslie Feist made an appearance on CBC promoting her new album Metals, available now.
Emerging from the whirlwind surrounding her blockbuster album The Reminder, with its infectious and ubiquitous pop hit 1234, Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist needed a break.

The change you crave cannot rest on the shoulders of one man. You have to pick a side and consistently vote for that side, without fail, without exception.
The evil ones win when
you don't participate. Your complacency is why we have a Tea Party problem. It's why we have a Repugnican problem — problems you can fix.
It's not enough to believe in the power of goodwill. You have to learn. You have to be smarter than your opponents — armed with knowledge to support your position, and the temerity to ensure that your opponents have the knowledge to support theirs. Armed with your knowledge, they'll come around, for you can't have a human heart, know what's going on and support those who are responsible.
America is the land of the bloodless revolution. You want to win this war? Then bring your brain. Your vote is your voice. Your ballot is your bullet. Take your shot at every election! And bring your friends...
Them fightin' words come from a comedian by the name of Rob Delaney, who I follow on Twitter - because he's funny. He's also pretty smart, it turns out, even if he has voted GOP at some point in his life.
Read more of Rob's excellent article here.
He mentions in the article that he's voted in every presidential election since 1996 (when he was old enough to do so), but he doesn't mention any other elections, which brings us to a very important point:
You have to vote in all the elections.
Whether you're a leftie or a rightie, you don't get change unless you vote-in a majority across several election cycles. The right has been pretty good about mobilizing their base over issues that don't really matter in terms of actually accomplishing any good works for the country. The left needs to do the same, only with sound logic and reason, focusing on issues that really do matter. They win by getting their base scared and angry. We don't need fear, but we need your anger! If you really want change, you cannot 'sit this one out'. Inadequate voter participation is the single greatest reason why they are able to derail so much badly needed progress in this country. You need to learn, get motivated (mad, if necessary) and get your ass out and VOTE! At absolutely every single opportunity. Or, you can just sit it out and wonder what happened when you realize that all of your rights as a citizen have been stolen from you... no biggie.

Ubuntu is a computer operating system, somewhat like Windows or Mac OS X. Unlike Windows & Mac, it is maintained and supported by thousands of people from all over the world, for whom their work is more a labor of love than a for-profit venture.
Ubuntu supports thousands of software packages capable of doing just about anything you can imagine, from spreadsheets & documents to audio and video production, electronic and mechanical design, website hosting, database management, photographic manipulation, image creation - if you can imagine it, there is software that can help you do it, and...
It's all free. The operating system is free, and with very rare exception, all of the software titles are free. You can use the software on as many computers as you like with no worries about cost or software licenses. It's all free. No need to register any software - no one knows or cares who you are, no one is going to try and sell you anything, no strange, annoying pop-ups, no advertisements, no viruses, no unexplainable losses in performance after a year or so of operation, no so-called bloatware... just a system that works. For free.
This is not to say that commercial software is bad - it's not, in and of itself, bad. What it is is expensive. It serves little purpose to purchase software that you may end up not using to its full benefit when there exists perfectly excellent software that you can use all you want - for free. Thousands and thousands of applications serving thousands of needs available for no charge - ever.
Ubuntu is just one of many fine Linux-based operating systems. Others include: Linux Mint, Mandriva, Fedora, Debian, Arch, openSUSE, too many to list here, most of which are very good, so why Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is excellent for people who've never used a Linux-based operating system before. It is superbly configured for computer users - people from all walks of life who don't happen to be computer experts - rather people who want to use their computers and not spend large amounts of time tweaking or troubleshooting them. Ubuntu just works. Very well. And for free.
Linux-based operating systems don't tend to support playing MP3 files or DVDs right from the start - additional software must be added after the initial installation in order to get that, but Ubuntu makes this quite easy. Linux Mint has MP3 & DVD support right from the start, but, as of this writing, their software center is just not quite as good as Ubuntu's (in our humble opinion), so Ubuntu gets the nod.
This entire website was created on an Ubuntu desktop operating system. This website is hosted on the Linux-based Cent-OS operating system. Savannah Radio Online's audio servers and websites are hosted on an Ubuntu server operating system.
Ubuntu is Linux for human beings. Check it out!
