Adbusters (one of our fave sites) is promoting BUY NOTHING DAY 2005 which is Officially November 25th...

Do you think you have it in you? One day...that's it.

Check out this editorial by Manuel Ignacio Gómez Lecaro of Ecuadors El Universo. He makes the point that Bush does not equal America (Thank God someone, somewhere sees this...it gives me hope.

"Hopefully, Latin America will see behind the incompetence of Bush and recognize that American institutions have a solid basis and are worthy imitation. That can see behind the charisma of Fidel and his imitators and recognize the suffering, the misery and the injustices that the Cuban people must endure."

One more for the road. Who is this guy?



His name is Andrew Stimpson and he was diagnosed with HIV in 2003 but found to be HIV free in October 2003?!?!? Testing error? Apparently not. Doctors want a closer look as his immune system may hold the key to unlocking the virus but so far he hasn't been very helpful (I didn't say he was heroic...just lucky;)
