My best friend has been doing some excellent, thoroughly researched political blogging. This is an important election for issues like health care, social security, a woman's right to choose, the war in Iraq, funding for the arts and music, the economy, and many other issues that are important to me. I would imagine that many of these issues are important to many of you as artists, as well. I was going to start blogging myself, but my friend is doing such a great and thoughtful blog, that I am choosing to ask that you direct your attention to his work at:
www.hotfreepress.com

He is doing some excellent work with statistical analysis (he's a scientist) and showing what the polls are actually saying and is giving some great information about the lies that McCain and Palin are telling the American people--the same lies that Bush has been telling us for eight years. So again, please visit:
www.hotfreepress.com

If you're interested in your country's future, I hope you'll pass this information onto other interested people.

Oh, and remember to "Breathe If You Can"
