Farenheit 911

Wow, I feel like today there is SO much to share...so you may all be inundated with lots of posts. Anyway, the first is regarding the movie Farenheit 911. Due to the large amount of protest that has arisen in response to this movie, Move On is gathering together people to pledge to see it sometime during opening weekend (the 25th of June). They want to show those protesting that there is widespread SUPPORT of this movie. If you're interested in making the pledge or just reading more about this particular initative, go here.

To lighten the mood a bit, there were several amusing news stories today that I thought I'd share.
