Heads UP everybody

many of you are probably also members of moveon.org, so you may already know this.  i've just gotten an email from the moveon gang to say that CBS will NOT be showing the winning moveon.org ad during the Superbowl, as we had hoped.  they're asking their members (and supporters) to sign a petition to CBS to reconsider this decision.  you can see the ad (if you haven't yet, it's quite chilling) and sign the petition here.  i just tried several times to do so, but it was busy every time.  this is good, lots of people signing.  the email tells me the surprise news that CBS is in bed with the devil on this.  however, what motivates them is consumer noise, so let's make some, good and loud.

and look!  i'm online at home.  you can't know how happy i am about this.  it was AWFUL.  i don't have an office at the college, as a lowly adjunct faculty member i can share a tiny office with one phone and computer with all the OTHER adjunct faculty, but no thank you, i'd rather not.  so i was going to the library to use a computer. the library is a lovely space, but i keep getting interrupted by students and other faculty wanting to chat.  and, you know, i worry they'll turn me in to John Ashcroft if they read what's on my computer screen.  and the chairs are just really uncomfortable.  and there's no cats or dogs.  so, yay!!!, i'm home.
