Go Away

• Fact-esque reports on A Revolution in America, covering Max Cleland's appearance at the Bristol Disabled American Veteran's Hall, in support of the State Senate campaign of Paul Lang. Cleland gave the crowd good advice: "don't stay indifferent this year. The stakes are too high."
• Joe Bageant's most recent essay, Under the Blue Mango, will remind you of what's really important and what really helps.
• Blue Wren tells us, movingly, about one more kid that will never get to fall in love, never get to be cool, in Every Day is Memorial Day now.
• Bagdad Burning tells us what we need to know from her perspective in Iraq.
• The Dharma Bums tell us about discovering Our True Country on Memorial Day.
• Finally, in Freedom is a Two Way Street, Neil talks about his recent visit to Ohio (where he heard John Kerry's commencement Address and saw his daughter graduate from Kenyon) and gives some love to the Dixie Chicks.

Now, Go Away so I can get some work done.
