Looking for good convention coverage? Truthout is the place.

[WilliamPitt]

Greetings, all! I wanted to let you know that truthout has been fully credentialed to cover both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. We will be doing text blog, audio and video reports from the convention floors, and from different events all across Boston and New York.

Two other truthout reporters are flying in to Boston tomorrow to join me for the DNC, so keep an eye on truthout starting Monday morning. We're gona be there for everything, and what we see, you'll see.

3. What if you suddenly start spinning pro-Bush stories like the rest?

Please keep garlic in your pocket, as well as some holy water for good measure.

If you suddenly go to the dark side, what should we do?

Without "Truthout," I'd have nothing but a steady diet of unpalatable lies to sustain me.

4. Thanks fof the heads up and all your hard work.

Did you see Carols post the other day? These are some quotes from an astounding essay. I think you can be esteemed as part of the bucket brigade of which the author speaks.


"I do not write this for the long-time activists – no, not for you brave souls who have been fighting the Medusa of oppression in all its manifestations for so many years that it is impossible to remember a time when your pockets were not stuffed with flyers or a time when your eyes were not filled with tears. No this is not for you, although God knows you deserve an essay of your own – one that captures the million miles of pavement you have pounded or the innumerable rocks you have pushed uphill.


...Too often, it has fallen to the same small circle of life-long activists to work the bucket brigade alone, shuffling back and forth to the well for yet another pail of life-giving compassion to douse the consuming flames of rampant greed and violence...


It is up to us a kindly, well-intentioned lot who have been slapped into consciousness by the repeated outrages, crimes and atrocities committed by the Bush regime to don the shining armor, each in our own way - big or small, enthusiastically or reluctantly, with brave heart or with trembling hands. And we must do it every day, rain or shine, even if evil seems very far away and the Garden of Eden spontaneously arises from some vast barren mid-western plain. We must not go back to sleep."
