MinnPost - AP photographer's last pre-arrest shot is a stunner

MinnPost - AP photographer's last pre-arrest shot is a stunner

"I heard an officer say, 'What are we supposed to do with him?' And the arresting officer say, 'What do we charge him with?' It seemed they knew I was press but no one knew what to do. I was getting passed around but no one was willing to do anything."

The arrest report indicates Rourke was charged with "Riot — gross misdemeanor."

Rourke's boss, AP Director of Photography Santiago Lyon, isn't on opinion lockdown. Via email, he states, "It is unacceptable for a working, credentialed photojournalist to be detained in the manner that AP Photographer Matt Rourke was on Sept 1, 2008 in St. Paul. Upon ascertaining his status as a journalist, police should have released him immediately."

Fascists in St. Paul

In an article by Amy Forlitti of the Associated Press, the police in St. Paul felt that it was necessary to use pepper spray on legal, peaceful demonstrators at the Republican convention-

"Pictures taken by Associated Press photographers showed officers using pepper spray on protesters who appeared to be trying to block streets.
"There are people who are committing violations of law and they're being arrested," Walsh said."

The Honorable Dennis Kucinich

Democratic National Convention

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery

It’s Election Day 2008. We Democrats are giving America a wake-up call. Wake up, America. In 2001, the oil companies, the war contractors and the neo-con artists seized the economy and have added 4 trillion dollars of unproductive spending to the national debt. We now pay four times more for defense, three times more for gasoline and home heating oil and twice what we paid for health care.

Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, their homes, their health care, their pensions. Trillions of dollars for an unnecessary war paid with borrowed money. Tens of billions of dollars in cash and weapons disappeared into thin air, at the cost of the lives of our troops and innocent Iraqis, while all the president’s oilmen are maneuvering to grab Iraq’s oil.

Borrowed money to bomb bridges in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. No money to rebuild bridges in America. Money to start a hot war with Iran. Now we have another cold war with Russia, while the American economy has become a game of Russian roulette.

If there was an Olympics for misleading, mismanaging and misappropriating, this administration would take the gold. World records for violations of national and international laws. They want another four-year term to continue to alienate our allies, spend our children’s inheritance and hollow out our economy.

We can’t afford another Republican administration. Wake up, America. The insurance companies took over health care. Wake up, America. The pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing.

Wake up, America. The speculators took over Wall Street. Wake up, America. They want to take your Social Security. Wake up, America. Multinational corporations took over our trade policies, factories are closing, good paying jobs lost.

Wake up, America. We went into Iraq for oil. The oil companies want more. War against Iran will mean $10-a-gallon gasoline. The oil administration wants to drill more, into your wallet. Wake up, America. Weapons contractors want more. An Iran war will cost 5 to 10 trillion dollars.

This administration can tap our phones. They can’t tap our creative spirit. They can open our mail. They can’t open economic opportunities. They can track our every move. They lost track of the economy while the cost of food, gasoline and electricity skyrockets. They skillfully played our post-9/11 fears and allowed the few to profit at the expense of the many. Every day we get the color orange, while the oil companies, the insurance companies, the speculators, the war contractors get the color green.

Wake up, America. This is not a call for you to take a new direction from right to left. This is call for you to go from down to up. Up with the rights of workers. Up with wages. Up with fair trade. Up with creating millions of good paying jobs, rebuilding our bridges, ports and water systems. Up with creating millions of sustainable energy jobs to lower the cost of energy, lower carbon emissions and protect the environment.

Up with health care for all. Up with education for all. Up with home ownership. Up with guaranteed retirement benefits. Up with peace. Up with prosperity. Up with the Democratic Party. Up with Obama-Biden.

Wake up, America. Wake up, America. Wake up, America.

Awesome John McCain videos

As you can tell from the video above, John McCain does not respect women, so did you hear about this incident?

Barack Obama chooses Joe Biden

Barack Obama chooses Joe Biden as his VP pick.

I'm all about trying to be environmentally friendly, so this new application, Local Cooling , seems like an easy way to save energy. I will install it and let you all know how it works out.

On a geeky note, I have been using Twitter occasionally, and just thought it was cool that it got a mention on Marketplace Morning Report.

You can file this next bit under religion and politics. Since the presidential races are already heating up, I found this interesting: Mitt Romney and the Mormon Church. I have a friend who is a Mormon, and while she was at my house for a Relay for Life team meeting, she happened to mention that she was wearing her Mormon Underwear. Interesting!
