Coming soon -- NO KIDDING -- Jo Jo Famous... From Tears to Laughter: The Life Story of Jo Jo the Clown (A Coal Miner's Daughter).
"I am surprised that people recognize me without my makeup. They will say, 'Aren't you Jo Jo the Clown?' When I tell them that I am, they say things like: 'I knew it was you by your smile! We love you!' This makes me feel even more love and gratefulness for my husband Dennis. Before the only time I was happy, and the only time I thought I time I thought I was worth something is when I was dressed like a clown."

Evidence #12: Why Polls Suck
http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/2024 Pollsters Call 'Security Moms' a Myth
"Security moms" have caught the imagination of political pundits and reporters in this year's presidential campaign, but do they really exist? Pollsters say it's a myth and that women are leaning towards Kerry.
Evidence #422: The TiVo Conspiracy
"First, God bless TiVo. There is no more satisfying way to watch a presidential debate than to hit "pause" after some Bush howler, or Kerry groaner, and swear loudly at the frozen face (which in Bush's cases, I noticed, was usually stuck in a shit-eating grin.) Or was that just the beta-blockers he was on?"

Welcome Road Rage
"If what happened in the election of 2000 happens again in 2004, this country will be papered in signs that just say "NO." We will have painted the country in a sea of "NO" and will have, at least, spoken out."

"In sprawlspace, products are branded, places are blanded, and minds are stranded."

Are you a spiritual Person?"
"Voting is an act of consciousness, and as such I think the votes of spiritual people are actually more powerful than the votes of unconscious people. Your hand on the voting lever is affecting the world as surely as the lifting of Buddha's hand in a mudra of peace or the teaching of Jesus that announced love as a force in the cosmos."
--Deepak Chopra at Dragonfly Media.
Clamor asked a sampling of independent media-makers to talk about significant aspects of their work during the Bush Regime: what they’ve reported on, what’s been left out, what mark their work has made.

If you can't find it in stores, order your DVD copy of "George W Bush: Faith in the White House" direct from Grizzly Adams Productions for $14.95.
The company decribes the documentary on its website as follows.
"Not since the days of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln has a president put so much stock in his Christian faith and prayer life for making decisions and leading the United States in its hour of crisis. According to BBC correspondent Justin Webb: "Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It's not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles."This program will examine the extraordinary faith and prayer life of President George W. Bush, and how it impacts his personal life and his decisions as the leader of the free world. See how his faith has been unshakeable in dealing with the 9/11 terrorist attack, fighting al-Qaeda, ridding Iraq of the Saddam Hussein regime, rooting out terrorists in Afghanistan, and how his religious beliefs bring personal peace and clarity in a time of terrorism and chaos across the world."
Yea! They're back!
When George Dubya Bush flew to Baghdad last November, it wasn't just another cheap photo-op - it was an emblem of his presidency.
